friends help: A few of my friends think Im a “baby” because I cry alot. - Help.com

I know you said you hate yelling and being mad, but sometimes thats a good way to let out that emotion. Theres nothing wrong with crying but sometimes you need to be a little tougher, so embrace whatever emotion youre feeling and let it out.

I cry a lot too. Crying is a release. there is nothing wrong with crying

Everyone cries even guys…
But most of us learn to hide it quite well…

I think to really be close to your friends, you have to show all your true colors. Which means they have to know what youre like when you get mad, and you have to let them help. I doubt youll lose any friends by getting angry now and then. Havent you ever seen your friends get mad? Were you still there for them?

You should express your true feelings, that’s the right way. It shows your true character and it’s not healthy keeping all those bottle up emotions inside. Don’t pay attention to people calling you a baby because they probably bottle up their emotions and that’s their problem.

BTW,
just went throung your reply on your previous post…
You do know that crying infront of him is just going to make him uneasy… dont you?
It may also give off wrong impressions like neediness, immaturity…
Its tough I know, to learn to control your emotions, but keeping a calm mind even in such emotional situations is a major plus…
There is no problem looking hurt, with welled up eyes but bursting into tears is normally considered a negative emotion… (again its my view)
I do hope all your struggles are giving you strength to learn to deal with all this…

Thanks for putting me on your friends list as well…
Hope I can be of help…

Hey!
Ur welcome…
Well, normally when Im in a bad mood or sad i kind of turn to God, especially when Im in negative situations regarding loved ones…
Sometimes (actually quite often) he dosent answer my prayers the way I would like but then I have learnt alot from the situations I have been in, which has given me a source of strength as well as a will to do things which I would normally have found difficult and the strength to persevere in things which I initially would have thought not possible…
So, as I said earlier I hope all you are going through helps you later on in life…

hmm, I guess that it’s just that sometimes when we are in a conversation with someone, sometimes the conversation dosen’t goes as smoothly as we plan. when we talk to people sometimes, they may say something to catch us off guard and we don’t quite know how to respond. im mostly talking about getting into a arguement with someone, unintentionally. yes there are times when ends won’t meet, but that’s nothing to get upset about, it’s nobody’s fault just something that happens unexpectantly is all. I know this probably dosen’t help much, hu

Thats good to hear…
As I said hope all goes well, and you always have us to help you out…

Hey!
Your welcome…
You take care then!

I’m a guy and I cry more often than what society says I should..it’s alright, it’s an expression of your emotions. Just use crying to your advantage. Get everything out, pick up, and move on.

I cry alot too and people think I am a crybaby too. They tell me to grow up and that hurts. They don’t understand that it is how I release my hurts, my pain, my fears. Don’t let anyone make you feel like it isn’t OK to cry.

“to thine own self be true.”

everyone releases their emotion somehow. some scream, some hit people, some cry, some bottle it up and eventually explode. there’s nothing wrong with it, as long as you have a reason to cry. your friends shouldn’t judge you just because of it.

I use to be like that I was the one who yelled and no one listened to…I now cry and I don’t cry for other people just for myself and when I do, I feel better…So i don’t think your a baby and if your friends don’t like it, then screw them :) friends will love you no matter what.

Theres nothin wrong with a good cry every once in a while, i left my x 10 months ago and every once in a while when im alone i still break down and cry like a lil girl, its perfectly natural we are all people and when people get hurt they cry, dont ever feel bad for being a normal person with normal feelings, you just have to make sure you do more laughin and smilin than cryin and besides how are you sposed to see anything with tears in your eyes

Every Day is a blessing, and one act kindness one small step in the direction of becoming who you want to be can put you in the right direction. When i was young i taught myself to stop myself from crying. It didn’t help. I couldn’t cry even if i wanted too until i had people who loved me even when i did. Who saw crying as what it is, an expression of emotion, of raw feeling the wonderful thing that makes us human and causes happiness as well as sadness or anger. Every time you feel you are alive and as long as your alive! you can change move forward and do that by expressing yourself! The other day I laid quietly (i still find it difficult to cry) on my bed and cried and my friend came and put her arm round me as i cryed speechless but the flow of my tears and when i had fallen asleep u she never left me and those peope that love you wont either! So free yourself and feel:D
