It is normal and helpful, keeping everything inside is in fact one of the worst things you could do while trying to get better

Yes, crying doesn't make you weak or sensitive no matter what gender or how old you are or the situation. Depending on how many times you cry, you might have a form of problem that is easy to see a doctor for and be able to contain it. If you cry just because things are tough and all, again there's nothing wrong with that, you are human and it just means you are hurting in someway.

Absolutely. Keeping emotions for yourself is just as damaging as rejection by someone who is unwilling to listen to you.
It is not only normal. It is freedom. Crying is away for our bodies to release negativity and things that cause us pain. Mankind would see a lot less health problems if they would practice this all the time. Our issues are in our tissues because we don't release. When I just let it all out, it feels like a ton of bricks have been lifted from me and then I am able to get back into motion.

Yes it is completely normal to cry. If you are having some issues that you just want to cry, just let it out rather than just keeping it inside. When you cry, it feels like your emotions bursts out inside you making you feel better than before. Don't keep emotions inside you, it will hurt more.

Yes. Obviously its a normal act. Sometimes attending counsellings, talking to someone or just pretending like youj're okay is not enough. So to in a better language, you should cry as much as you want to be normal. It is normal to cry.

It is normal to just let it out and cry because an event upsetted you to where you can't hold it in yourself anymore and releasing it out of your mind helps you relieve the pain.
absolutely! It is totally ok just to cry. It is healthy to cry to get feelings out. Everyone does at some point. Keeping emotions bottled up isn't good. No judgement for crying. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed. Crying is good for the soul. We all have a moment that needs to be let out. Release what you are feeling by crying or some other healthy way. This shows strength not weakness. You are strong. You can handle so much. Show compassion to yourself. Don't be hard on yourself, that won't help anything. Show love because you never know what someone is going through.

Absolutely!! Crying is a good coping mechanism to deal with the emotions you are feeling. It is important to acknowledge your emotions.
Yeah I think it is normal to do it. I mean is better when you let everything goes. And for that process, sometimes is necessary to cry, cry all you want, all you need. Don’t be like me and keep everything thinking that it's going to go, because it's not like that, at some point you'll go broke, and all that remains is to cry. :) let go all your sadness, or maybe, your happiness. So yeah, I think is totally normal to just let it all out and cry. Sometimes is what we need, and obviously a friend or someone who we can trust and talk about the motif
Yes it is very normal in fact I find that when I cry and let it all out I feel way better I feel free even.

Its very normal for both men and women to cry, and better to cry profusely, were hard wired to cry and when we hold it in it will just manifest itself in other ways.

Yes it normally to let it all out and cry because crying does help to relieve the emotional burden and as well as helps feel lighter in the chest.

Not only is it normal, it can be healthy and helpful! Expressing emotion is a great way to acknowledge how you are feeling, to process those feelings. If you notice that you are crying all the time (daily) or for no reason, you might want to check in with someone for support.

It's not only normal; it's healthy, even! Holding all your emotions can be so tiring and so heavy, and sometimes you just need to let it out and let yourself cry or scream or break down. But the important thing is to pick yourself up afterwards, and keeping moving forward. :)
Bottling everything up will lead to depression, anxiety and other emotional tensions. Although crying in public often distance you from general crowd. Crying in alone could have its pros and cons. If u r a shy person crying alone will free you, letting it all out. However if you r overwhelmed, you need physical assistance. Knowing ur grief is the main point here. Try to play the scene which makeyou cry, and if within 5 mins, if it becomes unbearable, divert ur mind in other activities. Try it 3-4 times if sadness is not reduced, make sure to have someone close to you. You will need it.
