I Do Not Like People to See Me Cry

Oh gosh! I’ve cried in public a few times over the past couple of years and it’s so horrible! I hope you get some happiness and don’t cry anymore!

I feel for you. When I was in high school (early 1970's) a girl I thought was my friend came up to me and said, "I don't want to tell you this, but..." and she went on to tell me the girls were talking about the clothes I wore to school and why didn't I go out and get another couple outfits? My dad was between jobs, my mother didn't work and my parents had to put food on the table and keep the power on. I wasn't old enough to work and I knew there was no extra money. She said she was "deligated" to tell me. I knew I was wearing my stepsister's outfits, but they were seven years out of style.

She chose to deliver this message in the school cafeteria. To my horror, my eyes filled and my throat tightened. I stared straight ahead , almost choking in my effort to not cry. I've been there - done that.

I'm sorry for what you're going through. It sucks at times.

I would if If I felt people deserved to see that side of myself but for the most part -very few- people do in my eyes.

I recall chatting with you way back. If I can be of any help let me know.

I feel sad for you and I understand

I'm so sorry you feel this down. 😢

If it's OK, please accept a cyber-hug. 🤗 Hugs make most things better, even if only for a little while. And if you ever need a cyber-shoulder to lean on, please reach out to me - I'll gladly listen if getting a proverbial load off your chest will help you.

Sorry you feel that way

I'm sorry. 🌺🌸
