What Guys Said
I think a lot of guys want to cry, we are just not good at showing it. We are good at holding it together for somethings but it can be tough at other times.
I’m not gonna cry if I stub my toe or get hurt while playing ball. But if I lose someone close to me than yeah I’ll cry in public because it’s perfectly acceptable.
I've cried before. My ex had made me cry. Often or not its a stereotype men don't cry. It's more that we have been conditioned by society to a higher threshold (not saying all men have it.)
I've always been brought up that when emotional, a gentleman should go alone and cry. You're to be the patriarch of the family.
Guys keep it together because we have no choice. The only acceptable emotion for men is anger.
Anything other than that is pretty much something we get shamed for.
Most girls are put off by guys that cry and they see men that cry as 'weak' and are turned off by it.
We aren't better at holding in our emotions, we hold them in because we have no other option. We get shamed for them and not to mention, if we want to be successful with dating, we can't do anything that might give off the impression we are weak.
Last time I really cried was 2 years ago.
I'm raised in a family where men are expected to hold back our tears. Whenever I feel like I want to cry, I will start imagining putting a heart in a box and make it fall into a chasm. I will not fish the box back up until I can shower at home where I will let my tears flow out freely with soft sobs.
Men who can't cry are either insensitive or just plain violent. I believe you can catch one or two caring men crying if you know where to look, or where to stick your ears to.
Yes i cry real easy and i been this way since Second Grade
i believe something happened to me within them years
i was up late last night couldn't sleep and sitting here
all teary eye over nothing yes it does hurt and i can't
listen to certain songs.
There are days where I come home from work and I feel like a fragile child where if someone raises their voice even a little near me it makes me flinch. And it brings up lots of mixed feelings. Frustration that I feel this way, paranoia, depressed, etc. So yes. All the time.
never, never had a reason or urge to cry,
my mum broke my ps3 once and i sorta forced tears out jus so that i would cry once in my life,
jus cos i felt i had to cry at least some times... but even when i do i really dont feel like doing it... i jus try hard asf to think sad things and force it out,... i guess i jus dont care enuff lol
It's not that we hold it in, it's just not much compels us to cry. Something that might really bother a woman might not bother a man that much and if it did, we probably still won't cry. I'm almost in capable of crying. Like I can't even force out tears anymore
Until recently I hadn't cried in over 15 years
But then again my fiancee at the time came back from a work trip and said she just wants to be friends and since I invested all of my savings into us in stuck living with her trying to keep a strong chin up while I watch our friendship flounder wondering what does someone my age do when they are financially and emotionally fully invested in their ex and her children
I can't remember the last time I wanted to cry.
I remember more the times I've gotten angry or felt hopeless or felt stressed out.
You deal with the emotion and you let it out in a manageable way or you bottle it up until you can safely release it. Sports and crafting hobbies are great ways to deal with those feelings. The act of creation is a wonderful form of self expression.
Remember; behaviour is communication.
