Okay, let me tell you a story about a friend of mine. He started messing around with this kooky, flighty, smokin' hot girl who had a *****e bag boyfriend. He too was in that friendzone/occasional bang buddy state. She'd come and cry on his shoulder when her boyfriend would beat her ass, or cheat on her or whatever.

Anyway, one night, she shows up at my boy's house crying and screaming about how her BF beat her up and made her loose the baby that my friend was supposedly the father of.

So, he decides he's gonna do something about it. (Dumbass. ) He goes to this dudes house and tries to put him in his place. And of course, he got beat down by five dudes and nearly died.

Broke his hand. Shattered 2 ribs. Guys face was so swollen, they had to drain it. Turned out, he wasn't beating her. He never touched her at all. She wasn't pregnant either. Her man was however cheating on her, which prompted her to try and make her BF jealous by messing around with him. Then sending this poor fool off to get his ass beat, and her BF arrested for assault.

The moral of this story? Don't get caught up in crazy. I'm not saying this chick is a manipulative crazy b***h like this lady, but watch your ass man.

Crying is a sign of strength, as far as I'm concerned. Emotions are a person's greatest assets.

I tell myself that and yet I still can't bring myself to do it. I've maybe like 3 times in my adult life. The last of which was a couple of months ago when I had probably the first real talk with my father that we've probably ever had. I let go of a lot of **** and totally changed our relationship.

The last time I really cried my eyes out was when I saw the opening of Disney's Up because it was a real emotional roller coaster wrapped up in a couple of short minutes. But aside from that, it's been really hard to cry even when I feel very sad and depressed, and at that point it becomes more frustrating than anything.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Crying is a showing of strength?

I truly never understood that logic. I always viewed it as a sign of weakness.

 

[SuperFerret]

Why would it be a sign of weakness?

Whoa. What the hell man?

I feel for the guy. Talk about deception and insanity.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

It exposes you.

Even if I could, I wouldn't want to.

 

[SpideyVille]

Why would it be a sign of weakness?

I''d say crying is a sign of strength because most men would prevent crying because they view it as a sign of weakness, therefore making the man who cries stronger because he is so secure with himself that he isn't afraid to be looked at as "weak" by crying.

 

[SuperFerret]

Yes, it does. That's what makes it a sign of strength. If you're truly strong, you can reveal a little vulnerability.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I still do not see how it embraces strength when vulnerability can lead to destruction.

 

[SpideyVille]

Holding things in can actually be more destructive though. I mean if you can't let out certain emotions, it's only a matter of time before they build up and come out in some other form, such as anger and frustration.

 

[SuperFerret]

If you're strong, truly, absolutely strong, then even your vulnerabilities aren't weak.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I still do not see how it embraces strength when vulnerability can lead to destruction.

because if you bottle enough up, you eventually explode. Also, you end up closing yourself off to alot of life's opportunities. People can sense that kind of insecurity and baggage, and usually don't want to be near it either.

what's stronger? someone who runs from issues? or someone who deals with them?

you can't get stronger sometimes without being vulnerable and healing. Otherwise you stay the same.

I don't think crying is "weak" but it's not the ultimate form of catharsis some make it out to be. No hardship I've gone through in my life so far has made me want to cry so I don't. But for you dudes that wanna cry your eyes out, go for it. Whatever keeps you sane.

there's a difference between letting yourself cry when you need a good one ... and being a bawling mess where you cry all the time.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Interesting views.

I will admit that I carry a large amount of rage but it's nothing that I can't handle. Luckily for me, I have places/outlets where I can dish out it.

I do not run from confrontations. In fact, I seek them. It's in these areas where displaying what breaks you can and will expose you. I can never take that risk of being exposed.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

This "needing a good cry" thing is lost to me. I'm not belittling it, just don't understand it. But I assume it's just a release.

Bane is my favorite villain of all time. There's a reason for that. I relate to him more than any character in comic book history.

My rage got me in trouble when I was younger but I found a way to manage it. I picked a career where my rage serves a purpose to the public. Trust me, rage gives an individual an insane amount of power and drive.

I guess it's a form of catharsis.

Had a fight with my keayboard

you've never cried and felt slightly relieved? a little less stressed? or a little less emotionally bothered?

 

[DoomsdayApex]

That's never good. It's a lose/lose situation.

Either you beat that a** and win, but have to buy another one

OR

When Skynet finally takes over, your keyboard is going to **** you up with his homies...

 

[Colossal Spoons]

No sir, I just don't cry. Nothing macho about it. I'm a crappy example though because I'm about as emotional as a frying pan.

it is if you feel like you can safely take it out, without causing yourself to go bezerk. The other thing that would help is figuring out why you get so much rage, and figure out how to relieve that.
