Ha ha! I'd cry tears of pure anger... More guys need to cry. Get over this "it show weakness!" bull crap! It's a bodily reaction to emotion, you guys aren't robots! Let it out sometimes. I was having a, uh, "PMS moment" one night and my BF played a song that made me bawl into tears, something I RARELY if NEVER do. He started "crying" and swiped a single tear away Didn't change anything. We're all human and we all cry. Let go of the ego and let it all out!
I responded to a call when some kid was hit by a car and his body was attached to the wind shield. I cried on the way home from work after that, and then I smoked.
I would say only insecure people act like they don't have emotions. Those people are truly more fragile than someone who knows when to express themselves. Just my opinion.
A very close friend of mine was kind of emotion-less in our highschool years. Like, he wasn't a jerk or a bastard to people on purpose, he just didn't have empathy. He was neutral to everyone. His sister and mom are real cunts and he had to grow up with them, and it just turned him into this cold person. Anyway, a little over a year ago, it all caught up with him. He and his gf broke up and the realization of how he'd treated everyone he cared about hit him like a freight train, and he completely fell apart. It took a long time but now he's a pretty normal person, with a healthy balance of self-confidence and empathy. But boy was it a rough ride, he'd call me at 5 in the morning in tears, just sobbing and I talked him through it. Moral of the story: Don't cut yourself off from the people around you, and don't treat people like shit. You never know when that one inactive synapse is going to start firing and you'll have a fucking melt-down.
I cried last night, like a baby. I felt embarrassed even though it was only in front of my girlfriend. It's "unmanly" to cry incessantly or continuously, on a regular basis. Because I don't have a vagina I can't feel serious pain from this shit life?
I used to think so. A long time ago I went to a friends funeral who died in a nasty car accident. It was unnerving and life changing to see so many grown men crying, including myself. It is contagious. On the other hand, i saw a dude crying at a wedding this past summer. Pussy.
Being a woman, I have no experience at being "manly", so I don't know if it would be "unmanly", or not. But I do know that crying is one of the things that makes us human. Animals can be sad, and can mourn, but only humans cry tears of grief and sadness. Granny
Exactly, not only is it inhuman but unhealthy, too. I could give two shits about what my gender is supposed to be like, if im gonna cry, im gonna cry. I think i've cried like once every year, but i wish i did it more. Crying feels so good to just let everything go and basque in your sadness. The only thing worse than crying is trying to cry... Like when you're just having one of those days, and you just want a way to let everything out and you recall all of the melancholy memories you can think of just to get you started, but you just can't cry. No matter how hard you try, no tears ever touch the pillow. So then you just spend the rest of the day in dismal despair waiting for the feeling to go away... It may sound 'un-manly', but I'm human and when I'm in pain, i hurt. And to cope with the grief, I cry and it feels damn good. Anyone who doesn't enjoy a nice sob session is an anti-social serial killer.
This is exactly why I started this thread. I used to never cry. I thought it was feminine and made you a pussy. But lately things have been going to shit and I've been crying a lot, and it actually feels really good. It's so much better than just bottling up your emotions and trying to look tough
HUMAN YOU DO............F*#K what the haters think! Cried at my Daughters wedding..............and I'm NO PUSSY What gives you the right to judge others
It's un-manly to ask whether or not its alright to cry...who gives a fuck anyways? Crying is a natural emotion and I'm not gonna ask society whether or not it's ok to express my shit.
