Do you guys cry in the public?

[StillWaiting]

If you do, is there any way you have tried to stop yourself crying to embarrass yourself?

 

[Crushed_Innocence]

Omg, I did all.the time when the ptsd kicked in. People were very kind and nice. But thats how bad I was, there was no energy to hold it back.... none, I couldn't even give a fuck..... When it came it just came, nothing I could do...

This is why I have sunglasses on me always.

Sadly I can't wear sunglasses in class. I will look like a stupid fool even I already am.

I'd tell them I have a sensitivity to light and to F off.

I don't even dare to open my mouth to talk to people. I am already scared of people judging just by being there

Yeah, I have really bad social anxiety but I can stand my ground if need be. Just wear them while you're out at least. Make your life a tiny bit easier even if you can't in class.

I should get those lens that can change to sunglass. Without my glasses, I can't see much

Good idea. x

 

[exhausted]

Yes, I always keep sunglasses in my bag :)

 

[sammii]

That would involve going outside I don't do that very often. I have cried in public though in the past, a few times. I have no idea how to stop crying once I start, sorry I can't help u with that one.

Also, "allergies" or "having a cold" are a good cover for sniffles. Unless you are doing a massive ugly-cry like I sometimes do, in which case, you can't really style it out. Dainty sniffles only.

I should try the having cold part..it is hard to lie because my specs will get blurry when I start to cry

 

[Santiago]

I can't cry anymore

 

[Im2high4this]

I cry all the fucking time, like multiple times a day. It's not like dramatic bawling so I can be in public and nobody's notices..but yea, simple things set me off.

I get this.
Small little things really get me

 

[Sweet emotion]

I'm not able to cry or else it will make my physical pain worse. So sometimes when I want to cry because I'm in so much pain I just have to hold back those tears so I'm not hurting worse.

 

[oopswronglife]

I don't even try to stop it. And as expected nobody cares. People care about themselves and the only reason they'd react to you at all 99% of the time is because you made THEM uncomfortable. Pardon the high dose of misanthropy...but I am exhausted with the utter lack of decency, altruism, sharing that exists.

 

[azucaramargo]

All 'da time. Especially in airports, for some reason. If you're not bawling, and anyone gives you trouble about it, some good excuses are allergies, contact lenses, or I don't know. I never bother giving excuses.

 

[ImsooDone1N]

Yes- of course I have. But I probably would have preferred not to. I don't like to show much emotion in public (different I think for positive emotions or if im with others). But generally when I'm alone I try to blend in & Not stick out. I develop this blank reptilian stare w/ I feel threatened in public.

But someone mentioned airports & I can relate to that. My family lives in different places & when we get together, we usually separate at the airport. I remember pre 9/11 you could go right up the gate to either greet someone or say goodbye right until they board. So, Airports have indeed been a place I've cried many times. Ironically I love airplanes & flying. I don't like saying goodbye to family and people care about tho. I've also cried in cars to the airport (after leaving family or friend). It's not just the fact that I'm really gonna miss whoever I parted with; but that I'm returning from what was an temporary escape (ie; holiday in the Caribbean) & back to my "life" which is depressing and something I obviously wouldn't wanna go back to after a holiday or something.

I find it incredibly hard to cry in public.

When my mom used to get mad at me and make me cry in public she'd always hit me again or threaten me in order to get me to shut up (One time she even choked me with my scarf).

Sometimes I think my difficulty to cry stems from that.

 

[Sans]

Usually when I'm sad (which is very often) I just sit there. Sit there and do nothing but stare blankly. I'm past the point of crying.

 

[TearyEyedQueen]

Embarrassing to admit, but for this month and a half of me being in college I've cried at least 5 times. I just don't have the strength to keep it all in anymore. Not the best impression to others but at least they still talk to me sometimes so I guess it's fine lol.

 

[Ko9]

The public is to me as relevant as dust on my floor. Yes, I have cried in public.
