I have been crying a lot basically because everything that has been happening (if you have been reading my recent post you know)  but I keep thinking its a sign of weakness and all my friends are telling me that crying is not a sign of weakness but it actually means I am stronger than most.  so what do you think?  do you think I am showing weakness or strength...i am trying to be as strong as I can.

I think it's a sign of weakness...but it's ok with girls.

Certainly not a sign of strength.

Then again, I read your earlier posts and come to the conclusion that you may cry with no regrets.

Don't consider crying as a sign of weakness, you never should.  Sadly... I can't shake that feeling, and for that reason I hate crying.  I suppose it's because my father called me a baby when I was more or less in hysterics talking about how I was constantly thinking about suicide when I was 13... or even when he more or less said the same thing when I was having a panic/anxiety attack.  Oh well.

Anyway... is crying a sign of weakness?  No, why should it be?  It's a natural thing to do, and when you're sad, you have to let it out some way.  You can't always control how your body reacts.  If you're crying, and you just sit there and cry and NEVER do anything to try to fix something, I would consider that weakness.  But if you cry, and continue trying to make the best of what you got, then how can you be weak?  Doesn't that show that despite sadness you can overcome your troubles and fight through it?

So... I would never consider crying weakness by any point, and you should NEVER consider your ~emotions~ a weakness.  They are part of who you are.  Accept them, and work with what you have to get the best out of life.  Sometimes things get hard, sometimes things don't work, but things can get better if you work at them.
