Why do some people brag about never crying?

A coworker told me that she’s only cried 3 times in her life. Shit I’ve cried more in the past week. Crying relieves so much

Probably for.the same reason that people brag about crying.

I didn’t think about that. I see strength in being vulnerable so I guess I was judging her as being weak for not being able to while she was seeing her self as strong and the criers as weak.

They have this false belief that crying is weak and a need to prove they're strong.
Maybe someone in their childhood made them feel that they're only lovable when strong.

I haven't cried in years. I actually wish I could cry, but antidepressants numb everything.

I’m sorry, I wish you could too. That’s how I felt on adderall in high school.

agree with you crying is not wrong it is an emotional outlet to a situation or event and you should never be ashamed by this [reflective]

I envy people who feel relief when they cry. I feel even worse after 🤔

Because people still see crying as a weakness.

That’s unfortunate. I understand it though, I was the same way for most of my early life, at least until I was 25
