If I cry as a result of anger, then I am a completely different person. I can be in a flaming rage with big, fat tears rolling down my cheeks, but I don't think anyone is under the impression that I am weak!!

I cry at demonstrations. It's a weird thing that I can't quite explain, and I think it's more a physiological conditioned response than an actual emotional response. Every time I see a large crowd of people gathered in protest, I have the overwhelming urge to cry.

My angry tears are more like tears of frustration. I hate them, they make me FEEL weak.

I like it when males cry since it apparently isn't as acceptable for a man to be all emotional than it is a woman. It is as though they are supposed to be all macho, manly, as though crying is a "womany thing". YEAH RIGHT. GIVE US A BREAK.

I cry far too much at the moment, through anger and frustration and general unhappiness. It's got a lot worse recently. Crying used to be cathartic for me, and it's just a pain in the neck just now, as it's just something I do periodically, like yawning or sneezing :)

Sometimes I hate how much I cry because it's just one more way I make an obnoxious spectacle of myself without wanting to: I'm a LOUD crier. Other times I feel like it's the most human and maybe even spiritual thing about me. But I still wish people wouldn't stare or feel uncomfortable as a result of it.

I cry - I find it to be cathartic - it helps me to shed negative energy and to recenter myself. I've a little sketh on my wall, and the accompanying text reads "She said she cries a little each day, not because she is sad, but because the world is so beautiful and life is so short." That pretty much sums up a lot of things for me.
