sargos7 said: Sapewloth said: sargos7 said: You shouldn't have to work hard to be happy. Or should you ? sargos7 said: , and if you do, it's likely because you hang out with pricks. Not always the case, but usually. No matter how I look at it, it's still one hell of a stretch to assume you hang around pricks if you work hard to be happy. Your vision of happiness and my vision of happiness aren't necessarily the same. Besides that, tears can be a response to a very strong emotion, be it positive or negative. If I work my ass off to achieve a goal of any sort (win a contest, get published, become a successful freelance artist) and my family & friends supported me the whole time, if I shed tears of joy once I succeed, are you still gonna assume I was hanging around pricks? If my sports team wins a very important tournament for which they trained hard and tears of joy are shed, are you again gonna assume the team mates were being pricks to each other? I don't get your logic. Let me put it this way. Let's say a billionaire and a homeless person both won a million dollars. The homeless person would likely experience several different overwhelming emotions, but the billionaire would probably only laugh at the irony. I get your example, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to explain your point? Obviously a billionaire will most lilkely not be concerned with how much more money they get. So winning a billion dollar won't affect them the same way it would affect a poor person nor provoke an equally extreme emotion. (An instance in which the billionaire could be affected to the point of tears would be seeing their child graduate from highschool, for example). Even with the homeless person in your scenario, how does the 'hanging out with pricks' assumption comes into play? |

Even with the homeless person in your scenario, how does the 'hanging out with pricks' assumption comes into play? Imagine a submissive guy who is constantly bullied, but because he doesn't react negatively to being bullied, the people who are bullying him accept him, and consider him as a friend, but they continue to pick on him because they are under the impression that he does not mind being picked on. Over the years, he gets used to being treated that way, and just thinks that it's normal for people to treat each other like that. Then he meets someone who not only doesn't pick on him, but who actually goes out of his way to help him out. It's not too difficult to predict a few tears of joy as a result, is it? People who often experience tears of joy are also often people who are taken advantage or at the very least taken for granted. |

As a proper adult I don't find many situations in my day to day existence that make me feel like crying. Only major events push me that far. Or if I get poked in the eye. |

| Neither. Crying is a sign of neither weakness nor strength. |
 |
| Crying is a sign of helplessness. People only really cry when there's nothing they can do to change their situation because events outside their control has set in stone. It doesn't matter if it's happy or sad situation, a crying person never does anything about it, because they can't. That being said, it's not bad, it just means what it means. |
yhunata said: Neither. Crying is a sign of neither weakness nor strength. Actually scratch that. Crying is a sign of weakness. Sweating from your eyes is a sign of strength. |
|
| crying is a sign that you're human. I've seen intimidating guys cry before. |
| I've been a crybaby all my life but i never shed tears because of pain, rather sadness or sympathy, which includes an awesome character dying in a book or a movie and of course anime, or an extremely touching moment (looks at bluray discs of game of thrones, all three books of the silo series, and Anohana) so bassicly it's neither it's human just like we laugh when we're happy we cry when we're sad or extremely happy. |
 |
| The title presupposes that crying means you are either strong or weak. Whereas the act of crying is a display of emotion, and not a display of weakness or strength. To cry, doesn't logically entail whether or not that person is strong or not. |

| Well, it's not a sign of weakness though it depends on when and in which situations people start crying. I hate it when women/people start crying just to win an argument or for random hysteria reasons. For me personally I have no problem crying when I watch a sad show or something, but in RL I've only ever cried out of pain or frustration as far as I remember, never because of sadness or some similar feeling. I even cried quite a lot when I was a kid, which led to me getting bullied about being a crybaby and pussy at one point, so for 10 years I shut down completely and didn't cry a single time (not voluntarily, I can't control it), some 5-6 years ago I started reconnecting with my tears, even through anime, silly as it is. Still haven't cried for RL reasons (except maybe pain) since my childhood though. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I honestly wish I could cry more because apparently my body has forgotten how to. In the past year I've cried like once for I forgot why, and once a year before that when I watched Clannad. But I wouldn't consider myself more manly than others just because of that, just more desensitized regarding being sad. |

| I just think people cry when something makes them sad. Or if it makes them happy because people cry for joy sometimes. It doesn't mean you are a strong or weak person because every body cries. |

Hacker4life said: It has everything to do with weakness and strength.It has nothing to do with weakness and strength. I hope for that because I cry pretty often. What really bothers me is this pussyfication of what it means to be manly. Note that I'm not a very manly man myself, I just hate it when people take something that clearly isn't manly at all (like sobbing), and come up with some bullshit reason to call it manly. If a woman cries because she doesn't give a fuck, does that make her manly too? |

| Hahahaha, now manliness is something to go for? Since when? Do you still live in the 60s? It's a fact that current manliness is just harmful to any man, and honestly, crying actually helps, considering it's one of the best ways to relieve stress and the male gender is one of the worst if you take into consideration stress levels. So yeah, you're objectively wrong Jenny... Again. But just like anything, crying all the time just says you have some other problem. |

| I cried like a baby when my dog passed away a few years ago, is that being manly or weak? ._. |

| I think crying is a sign of strength, yes it's weak to break down crying uncontrollably in public, but in a more intimate setting, alone or with people you're comfortable being around crying can be beneficial. I'd say it's better to cry and let all those feelings come out of your system as opposed to letting them fester inside you, ultimately weakening you in the long run. |
| Well, it's a sign of strength for me.....cause I don't want to think I'm weak. |

You should cry when you feel like it, as I said, people that cry for no reason have other problems, not lack of masculinity. |
