 When was the last time you cried?
Is it because of frustration, getting the occasional blues, being mistreated, betrayed? Is it a heartbreak, a painful ordeal, physical sickness, problems--big or small, regrets, hurt or someone offended you, whatever it is, you may have your reasons. But one thing is for sure--crying is not a sign of weakness--ever.
I cried when I was heartbroken, I cried when I felt the painful process of grief when someone close to me passed away. I cried when I felt frustrated, because I feel slighted, etc, etc.
A comforting thought: You can cry whenever you like and wherever! There's no written universal rule that you can only cry at a prescribed time and
at this place only.

Especially for the men, no, men are not exempted from feeling pain, hurt, or grief, and for those who say that crying is a sign of weakness, no way!
Crying is actually a form of therapy and our tears provide healing properties because it washes away the loneliness, it becomes our companions to the feelings and emotions we currently feel in our lonesomeness. And even the mere act of crying is liberating, because it releases the aches and pains, the suffering, we let loose, we let go of what we feel. may it be tears of joy, of fears or of sadness, there's no shame in crying.
Trying to suppress your feelings will all the more create resentment and repressed anger, hang-ups and inadequacy to express yourself.
You may be scared to look weak, or to look like a failure? But who are you fooling? It even makes you feel like a fake for hiding what you truly feel in order to make you look as if you're okay--though you feel like you're breaking down.
Again, there's no shame in crying and it's not a sign of weakness--denying and pretending is.
