I’ve never really understood why people cry in certain situations like when parting with friends or when watching a sad or romantic movie.
I’m a guy, I’m wired differently, the last time I cried was about 6 years ago which, to be honest, I had to force it out and it lasted for some seconds.
Some people cry effortlessly and some don’t.
When people start crying the initial tears should be let out, I don’t think the response should be why are you crying ( when you most likely know why ) or stop crying. I believe the response most times should be It’s okay to cry.
If it’s Okay to Laugh, It’s Okay to Cry. After all, they’re all expressions of emotions.
One reply on “It’s Okay to Cry”
Yes, it is. I think there’s a scientific research that proves crying is stress relieving. We should check it out.
