We all want to be mentally healthy. But this doesn’t require us to bottle up our emotions. When we admit to ourselves that we can cry, we can keep our emotional balance in check.
Crying has, strangely enough, many benefits. So don’t show fake strength by keeping yourself strong. It is acceptable to keep yourself strong for a short amount of time. But you need to make some time free for opening yourself to others. If you don’t want this yet, you can also find some time for yourself to cry in your comfort zone. For example if you need to mourn and don’t want others to see it. At least make an effort to look at your emotions.
People can cry much easier than they can change. – James A. Baldwin
