Everytime my boss asks me the slightest thing I tear up. He thinks its funny, but I feel very unprofessional and not taken very seriously. Does anyone know a way to stop yourself from crying when you feel it coming on? I've got to stop this!

I dig my nails into my hand to focus on physical pain rather than emotional pain. Rarely do I cry from physical pain, but emotional pain always seems to get me going. It sounds a lil crazy I know but it does work.

Harness your sensitivity into anger instead. Don't take it out on anyone, but anger is a lot more acceptable in the workplace I guess, and it's easier to hide than tears. Also, don't imagine yourself crying at the moment; that'll make it worse.
Don't let him bully you. Hope this helps! ;)

Think of happy thoughts. Try to imagine that you're the prettiest in the entire world. Or why don't you find something that can boost your ego like achieving more "best answers" in here.

Don't get sad-get mad . You are so used to yourself reacting one way - that you expect to cry ; and so you do . Expect a different responce from yourself . You might get it .

Think about how pissed it makes you that your a**hole boss thinks it's funny to make you cry.

Don't go emo then.
Kidding. Maybe take some mild anti-depressants?
