Do you cry in public?

[arunima25]

Well, I do cry in public. Not the howling kinds( I am not able to do that even in private). But yes, I can't stop tears rolling down my cheeks. When I feel overwhelmed with emotions, I can't stop tears rolling down. I am an emotional person and I am not ashamed of letting my emotions shown in public. I have cried in movie theaters, choked while reading or teaching some emotional content to my students, cried listening to lyrics, see my students improve etc. I get both sad tears and happy tears. I am not ashamed of crying in public. How about you?

The only time I'll cry in public is in a cinema.

No, I don't cry in public. I don't remember the last time I cried. I feel strong people don't cry, but that's not the case. It's just an emotion, and we should let our tears out when we feel down. There is nothing wrong with it.

I can't say that I cry often in public unless something happens to make me cry.

The last time I cried in public was a few months ago. My mum, daughter and I went to see my dad in the care home as he was at the end of life, but when we got there after only heading home for a few hours to eat, we could tell he was getting worse and knew he didn't have long. The longer we sat with him, the worse it got to see, so we me, my mum and my daughter left, and my brother stayed.

Not knowing just how much longer my dad had left, we were obviously crying and had to run into the store to get a few things. Luckily, we never got asked anything. My dad passed less than an hour later.

No I don’t, whenever I need to cry I do it in private or with my close family. I have never experienced a situation when I had to cry in public too, so I suppose it will not happen. Since I have never done it before I don’t think I will ever.

@Shortie I am sorry to know about your father. Yes, it happens when you see someone who's close to you in pain.

@Kennysplash That's what I have done when I cry. I don't let anyone know that I have cried.
