Thank you so much for this. When I was a kid, whenever I fell or was bullied at school, the first thing I was taught to do was to not cry. When I do, my mom would get angry at me instead. I guess now that I’m grown up, I associated crying with being weak.
I don’t know.
It’s hard. Sometimes I refuse to cry or break down in front of others in fear of making them uncomfortable. Most times I apologize for my tears.
