Good or bad to cry?

Question

I've heard that if you cry about your problems, it will just make you more of a cryer, and you will do it more often. I've also heard that if you cry, it is "healthy" for you, and you will do it less often. Which is it?

I keep alot of my emotions and feelings bottled up. I was beat as a child. Now whenever someone I'm afraid of persay hits me, or holds some strong negative emotion of me, I get nervous, shaky, have a lump in my throat, and usually cry if it continues. I'm sick of it. What can I do?

Answer 1

Just try to express your self and don't hide you anger or sadness in which may cause you many diseases like heart stroke or blood presser but be careful to not take crying as a habit and keep doing it frequently since it's not good for your image in front the others.
Good bless you

Bueno, good to let it out when you really need to. Dude i feel you i come from a similar back round and can be emotional at times so i know how you feel. I'm 21 years old and i am still dealing with this time to time but not as often, i used to keep my feelings and emotions bottled up because i was afraid that no one would care and people would laugh and make judgment. You just have to realizes keeping those feelings bottled up all the time is very unhealthy mental and physical. I'm guessing your younger You need to learn how to express what and how you feel to anyone if or if not necessary; include how you feel in a conversation and dont care how other people feel because what your feeling is the most important, your emotions are important and you need to share them even if its just with family or friends. Good Luck

I don't think it's a bad things to cry. It'll help you get it out. If you don't want to cry then write it out or talk to someone. Keeping stuff bottled up inside limits your control over yourself and your emotions rather than make you more of a cryer. Just don't do it for attention.

Answer 4

Go ahead and cry who cares if it makes you more of a cryer, crying is good for you, holding it in is unhealty it makes you sick sometimes, i'm sorry to hear about your childhood but you have to move on now and forgive and forget whoever hurt you because forgiving a person is good for you, but that's your choice, back to the original question, in my opinion it is good to cry, getting rid of all the stress and anger is better than holding it in, so next time you feel upset cry and maybe you'll feel better. Just a suggestion hope this helps

Answer 5

Emotionally, it is good to cry. It helps "get out" your negative feelin. I think it helps because crying is physically demanding. Your body convulses and tenses, eyes become sore and making the sound of cying have be tiring as well. By releaseing and crying, your body can get the tension out of your body and start to heal emotionally.


Physically, it is good to cry. Releasing tears carries out built up minerals and cleanes your ducts. Like sweating carries out salts and impurities, tears do the same thing.

There is nothing wrong with crying. Never be ashamed of a natural thing, and don't feel ashamed that you are a "cryer". If you start profussly crying becuase you have a papercut, you are overly sensitive. But it doesn't seem that you are. You are reactive to something real that causes you real pain.

Since you experienced abuse, you may want to talk to a counseler to help you resolve deep issues.

if your sick of crying than it's time to address the problem.. crying is not shameful.. you just need to either talk to someone or try writ ting about it.. writ ting helps you release your emotions with out involving other people.. the more you work at it the less you will feel the need to cry... at first it will be hard and there will be doors you will wish you left shut. but push on through.. don't hold feeling in it is not healthy and leads to some sort of irruption .. like anger or crying... and so on

Answer 7

Crying is okay, but not crying is okay, too. If you need to cry to let it out, that's fine. But I think the better technique is to try not to let the actions of others affect you so much. Just remember, their actions and opinions have much more to do with what's going on inside themselves and aren't so much about how you have behaved.

When you start to get that nervous feeling, just remember that the person's negative emotions and actions might be the result of some abuse they have suffered! Okay, that's not really pleasant to think about, but just try to think how you can help this person work out their problems instead of letting them make you think you have one!

It probably will take some practice to actually get this message from your head to your heart! It's still emotional when someone treats you badly. If you have to cry, you'll probably feel more comfortable if you just leave the room. Maybe take someone you trust with you? People may make fun of you, but trust me, most of them know how you feel and are quietly empathizing with you.

Good luck and Fight On! Please email me if you want!

Answer 8

It's good to cry. Trust me, keeping your emotions bottled up won't help. Those emotions will have to come out eventually. It's best to face your problems now rather than having a nervous breakdown. Trust me. I learned that lesson the hard way.:)

Answer 9

I have good crys all the time. Sometimes it's just nice to have a good cry, It's not that I'm sad or hurt, I just feel like crying. So I put on a sad song or movie and let it rip, I feel so much better after.

Answer 10

Crying is good for you, yes. It's never good to keep things bottled up inside of you for too long. I actually recently learned of the emotional damage not crying can do. Besides, if you don't cry, you can just make yourself more stressed out. Everyone has to cry sooner or later, right? Everyone does. And I agree, don't take that. Stand up for yourself if possible, nobody should treat someone like that.
