Why does this generation pretend that to cry is to be strong?

[Deserter]

You don't cry unless there's something wrong. If you're crying regularly there's something very wrong.

Yeah it’s SOOO better to try to tell people they’re weak if they cry🙄…

Would you tell that to the football players that cry when they win the SuperBowl? Or my husbands nephew who just buried his 12 year old daughter that got shot and killed?
Handle your emotions your way and let others handle theirs their way. Judging others is what’s weak if you ask me…

[Deserter]

I'm not against crying, but you do it cause you're stressed and in a vulnerable place.

Very few people are crying out of joy

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That’s your assumption. You know how many people cry at the birth of the children? Both men and women? You missed the point. Who are you to decide when it’s acceptable for someone to cry or not cry. Hell, some people cry at sad movies. I’m one of em🤣 Guess I’m weak LOL

[Deserter]

Where did I say not acceptable and how often are you having babies, woman?

[XXblack88]

The younger generation is more sensitive I'll agree with you on that. But crying doesn't always mean your upset you can cry from being that happy as well.

WTF are you on about?

No one says "crying" is "strong". You probably mean to say "be in tune" which basically means "don't be a fucking caveman, and assume everything is to fuck, eat or hit".

The world is a more complex and interconnected place than what you probably grew up with.

[Deserter]

Yes they do, you're being dumb and an asshole.

Anyways

I'm not against crying, but you do it cause you're stressed and in a vulnerable place

there's a vast difference between crying and stating harsh facts that people miscontrue as crying.

[dustybiker]

If you were raised by wolves you wouldn’t know the difference if you wept or not when feeling natural emotions. Some things are taught not to do. Human parents often do more damage than good, sometimes on purpose, sometimes not.

Cause facing your emotions and working through them makes you stronger than denying them.

[ArtemisSilver]

Technically speaking crying reduces your cortisol level making you literally stronger.

[Deserter]

I'm not against crying, but you do it cause you're stressed and in a vulnerable place

[ArtemisSilver]

Really? I do it when I tweeze a particularly gnarly nose hair.

[Deserter]

Cause you're in pain and need to lol

[ArtemisSilver]

It's not the pain dude it's the feeling of it being rooted deep in my brain 🧠
