This might sound weird, but whenever I'm upset I like to cry and get it all out. It makes me relax, and I honestly feel so much better afterwords. I feel like I have a weight lifted off my shoulders. Does anyone else feel the same? I ask, because it always feels like crying is portrayed as bad and weak. I remember growing up I would sometimes get yelled at or made fun of for crying. But it helps me so I don't see why it's so bad.

The problem: I only cry in intense panic attacks- which usually happen when I'm yelled at. I can't really cry that much because people will just get more mad at me because they'll think I'm pretending to be "innocent" when in reality I'm breaking down So I don't cry much.

I know how you feel. I remember one time when I was younger, my parents were fighting each other. Like a literal fist fight. It scared me so much that I started crying and hyperventilating, and that only made my dad angrier. He cornered me against the wall and screamed in my face for crying. It scared the hell out of me.

It's not really malicious it's more of "don't play innocent and all teary" but I pride myself on pleasing others and I actually end up having to resort to basic ways of calming myself like escaping to a small, closed chamber and turning off there lights and sitting there as I'm in tears when it happens. It's a living nightmare to the point where I become paranoid if anyone is upset or angry at anything.

I hate crying with a passion, even when I am really upset I try to force myself not to cry. Didn't work to well at my grandpa's funeral

I used to but whenever I did my family would mock me because they thought I was overreacting. Now when I stop myself from crying, and replace it with sarcastic comments, they're all like "she doesn't get upset over anything. It's like she's not a human." And honestly I'm just so done with their opinions it's like whatever, I don't care anyways.
But yeah it does help you calm down and all.

Is it because you're just sad in general? Idk, I've just always viewed crying as a sign of weakness. I mean, I'm not one of those guys whose like "I'm stronger and better than everyone" but I just hate the feeling I get when I cry. I just feel worse when I do I guess.
