How Do You Feel About Men Crying?

[Goblin]

Just in general, what are your thoughts?


I'm a person who appreciates emotional openness, I'm all for it.

Everybody's got a story to tell.. Even those who believe they don't have any.

If you've meant to ask about my story - I'll have to think about which one to pick, as I tend to cry a lot.

Displaying unbridled emotion in public is never good. If one must engage in such a release, it is preferable to do so in solitude. As a man it is better to show others that you are master of your emotions than a slave to them.

Ey folks, think of this post when you're reminded that men are 4x as likely to commit suicide.

You can show emotion. You can let others show emotion. A "master of their emotions" can determine how to show them, like crying, and they aren't weak or inconsiderate.

I have some stories I have never told any human being before, not even while drunk.

Yet...

But seriously, how much mindshare should we give negative thoughts?

Weakness.

Doing so due to SERIOUS life events in the privacy of your home with family and/or loved ones is healthy. Otherwise, suck it up buttercup. You shouldn't be crying in public. Or because you broke something. Or because you lost a game. Or any other "stupid" reason.

Men 4x as likely to commit suicide than women. These posts hint at why.

Nope. It's because ultimately 100% of the financial burden of the household AND major responsibilities fall on the man. The woman CAN do these things, but society has decided that they don't NEED to, so if everything goes wrong, it all falls on the man. THAT is why. It has nothing to do with crying.

Yes a 3 or 4 months ago. I started it.

as a man ive not cried in over 20 years. Losing wives, children and more and nothing. Men do not cry real men anyway. Men are not emotional being like women, when men want to relieve stress we play with toys, get adult things, fall back to our nature.

Ho ho ho - you again? What a hero. So men who do cry are not real because you don't?

Even your reasoning is that of a child...

Well said. Suck it up buttercup. Cry in private. No wants to watch a man blubber in public.
