Guys, do you ever feel like crying? (Page 2)

Question

I know a lot of girls cry quite often, including myself. I can't help it, no matter how hard I try, even though I wish I could. How do you guys keep it together? Do you just not feel like crying? Or do you have a way of holding it in? I have only seen guys cry a couple of times, while I've lost count of how many times I've seen girls cry. Are guys just better at holding in their emotions?

I never really, "feel like it". It just comes if it needs to. I haven't really cried in years, though I did get teary eyed yesterday, first time in years as well.

Guys cry when they're young. They take things seriously. And well they hit a point when they can't cry anymore and that's the limit for them. "No tears left to cry ". Still feel sad tho but lose the physical capability to cry

Prof_Don · Answer

If I need to cry, I’ll go ahead and cry it out in private. But I do cry when needed. Holding in emotions all the time Is unhealthy

Twalli · Answer

Guys are taught by society not to cry so we try not to. I don't cry from pain anymore, although I don't try to avoid it. I started to not care if I cried and now sometimes do when I am stressed out or really sad.

I don't feel like crying nearly as often as girls I know. However, there are times when I feel like crying. If there is someone else around, I try very hard not to cry.

Massageman · Answer

I've done it plenty, typically when something reminds me of my folks. Movies where someone overcomes insurmountable odds could do it too.

Most guys have learned through experience that crying in front of others is never a good thing. People say its OK for guys to cry but they are not being honest. Girls are especially guilty of being dishonest about it.

Men are conditioned from an early age not to cry. It is considered girly. Men want to cry but often can't they can hold it in for so long that once it is let out it can be so much worse. Thats why male suicide is so much higher.

Hey. I know I for one do feel like crying sometimes. It may seem embarrassing but it can also be beautiful for a guy to show his emotions. Guys have a tendency to bottle things up to look strong but it really work all the time. Crying is ok.

yeti_bear · Answer

All the time. Some times I can avoid physically crying by flooding my head with other things, some times I just can't help it. I am a truck driver so I am alone a lot, it helps because nobody sees me cry, but it is also the cause of a lot of it...

YHL6965 · Answer

Well, when almost everything around you has shamed crying since your youngest years, you learn to bottle things up.

We do feel like crying but for me, crying doesn't help. I don't know why I can't even cry some times even when I want to.

We train ourselves not to cry ourselves since childhood. Sometimes things become too much for us though.

Many people end up crying for legit reasons and some for insane reasons. People need to weigh out their options whether it's the time to cry or not.

standardguy · Answer

Of course I cry too sometimes. That is normal for both sexes. But women must cry more due to the monthly hormonal changes.

Snakeyes7 · Answer

Yes but I don’t think it happens as often. It has to be pretty bad. Like a breakup or a loss of a job.

OnlyWater · Answer

I hadn't cried in a fair few years but after being dumped with no given reason I kinda broke. Not infront of people but I have and I have noticed I've become a lot more emotional since.

Really emotional movies always get me. It's a bit embarrassing. I don't cry from pain at all though. Well, maybe once or twice when I got hit hard in the nuts.

when it finally gets too much. i'm always suffering-there's just moments where it bothers me more than usual.

Guys cry when we have an actual reason to. 90% of the time when women cry it is because they are seeking attention and they crave drama.

Guanfei · Answer

Yep, and these days it's all the time. Too much stress, too many problems, and no one to support me.
