Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp
Sorry, this post has nothing to do with
You see, I’ve just had a really good cry. You know, the deep, soul-wrenching, heart-rending, physically-shaking, apart-falling, heaving-sobs type of cry. I won’t go into the reason (it’s actually not that big a deal and I’m ok, really). My point is that that type of cry is really good for the soul. It flushes out your emotions and really makes you feel better. It may be caused by one particular thing but I think it gets out a general mental build-up of anxieties, anger and sadness. I think everyone needs a good cry once in a while.
This brings me to the people who claim they never cry (who may, indeed, never cry). I guess I want to know how and why? How is it that they never have a reason to cry? Don’t they ever feel sad or lonely or upset? How do they deal with it? Do they push it aside? Let it fester? Or does it just dissipate a little every day until they’re sort of okay again?
I feel kinda sorry for men who are brought up with this idea that real men don’t cry. Sure, men should be men and if my fiancé started crying during Sleepless in
I’m definitely in favour of a good weep. It can leave you with a headache, it can even make you feel sick but it also calms and cleanses, which can only be a good thing, right?

I think as is the case with everything, what's helpful or theraputic for one person may not be for another.
Crying is just a physical manifestation of an emotional state or process; just because some don't do it doesn't mean they're not able to get the same kind of benefits you describe elsewhere.

You're right but it's the 'elsewhere' I'm asking about. Where/how do they get it all out? Exercise? Violence? Sex? And if not any of those, then what?
Because of my illness, I feel a deep sadness all the time but I can't let it all out through crying (though I'd like to). I actually envy someone who's able to let their emotions out and have a good weep.
I suspect my sadness is tied in with past experiences and is a kind of emotional blockage. I hope I'll be able to have a good cry in the future and break though the barrier. I don't think you're any less of a man if you choose to do so though. In fact I think it shows you're in touch with your emotions - which is good.
I probally the only male who cried at his wedding when my wife left her house, just could not take all her family in tears, set me off too.
It's good to have a good cry I agree, you feel alot better afterwards
Slip inside the eye of your mind.Dont you know you might find. A better place to play....
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
sometime deep contemplation does the trick instead of crying. I cry less these days might get teary but nothing heart wrenching...
