Is crying a sign of strength or weakness?

Crying, in my opinion is both a sign of strength and weakness. It is a strength because it shows that you are human and you have feelings and emotions and everyone now and then needs a good cry to let all of what you are feeling out. It makes you feel better (I know this because I cry all the time). It can be a weakness because every time something happens, you cannot just cry and expect people to feel sorry for you. Sometimes you have to just suck it up and face the music.

Men and women obviously have different viewpoints when it comes to crying. Men like to be all macho and be the strong ones and when they do cry, they think they are weak and it is very embarrassing for them and when women cry men want to run for the other direction. I personally think that when a man cries, it is beautiful because it shows that they are not robots but they actually have feelings and emotions. Women tend to have more feelings and they just like to let it out, sometimes we cannot control when we cry. For both genders, crying is a natural habit but we need to make sure that we control when we cry because it can put people off. You also need to make sure what environment you are in for example, being in the working world, obviously crying can be seen as a sign of weakness but at home it is more natural. So yes, it can be seen as both a strength and weakness just make sure that you don’t let it out ALL the time but when you do need a good cry, let it out- you will feel like a new person.
