Hate crying

[Poodlefanforlife]

I’m very sensitive person. Everyone says it’s “ok” and automatically assumes I’m going to cry over things.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. But when people bring up oh this must be so hard for you. Or I get treated differently for being so sensitive, it makes me uncomfortable, I get embarrassed and start to get teary eyed.

How can I make myself stronger and not so emotional? I hate it SO much.

don’t think sometimes being emotional is bad, I think you can make yourself stronger and being confident in yourself by not caring what people say about you . I know that is tough I’m still working on that .

Brainstorming a bit -- how about laughing about it? Like when others say "this must be so hard", how about reacting with a "yea" and an exaggerated fake cry, or perhaps wiping the tear in a pretentious way? You know, just make it facetious.

I may be wrong (pls correct me in that case) but this is how I feel: It is important to acknowledge our feelings, but it's more important to only reveal it in front of the right person in the right moment. For those who aren't close enough to take the time to listen to my real problem, I would just cover up and deal with it another time, perhaps with the right person.
