It is nothing out of the ordinary for people to cry. Sometimes people can no longer contain certain emotions, such as pain, hurting and even joy, that tears just fall off their eyes.
While some people try as much to hide their emotions, pushing back tears for the public not to see, other people cry easily. Crying may be seen as a weakness but there's this thought that only those who could show their tears are the truly brave ones.
Not known to many, crying has many good effects to our health. So if you're one of those who easily cry, psychologists explain the following:
#1: Crying makes you a better person and a better friend.
An unexpected situation such as bad news, accident or challenges will give you a foundation to become a stronger person as well as building a stronger relationship with your family and friends.
You can be a shoulder that someone can cry on or you can cry on someone’s shoulder when you are feeling down. All you have to do is to cry, release all the pain and open up yourself to somebody that can understand you and will also help you.
#2: Crying out is a sign that you are not afraid about your feelings.
There are different factors and different kinds of reason which gives us the vulnerability to cry and it includes loss of love ones, stress, anger, hatred, sadness, some health problems just like high blood sugar, hormonal imbalance and even materialized things like sad songs and movies.
Nevertheless, letting those tears fall makes you acceptable from the people around you and it also makes you ready to face all the fears from these feelings.
If a person pays no attention of their own feelings inside, he or she will lead to rebellion which includes alcoholism, illegal drugs intake, depression, anxiety, grief and other uncontrollable bad behaviors.
#3: You are able to control and handle stress.
In every situation that you are in, always keep in mind that you have to give yourself a relief from stress because of anxiety, unhappiness, and grieving as well as deep and tough relationships.
Allowing your tears to fall down from your eyes can provide a purifying tool that will help you to reduce the strong and deep thoughts because holding it in and thinking about it for a long time can contribute to a severe psychological damage.
#4: Crying means that you are strong enough that you don’t pay too much attention to what other people will say or think about your actions.
There are times when we are feeling so weak and hopeless where we tend to hide inside our own shells and when there are a lot of people around us, we hide our pain and sadness from a sweet smile which is not usually recognized by them. This feeling is now serious and it should not be tolerated.
Nonetheless, those people who allow their tears to fall out easily are the strong ones because they have control over their emotions. It is very unhealthy to hold your tears back and not to cry at all.
