Tears are okay by me

I agree.
All emotions are healthy.
The problem is the way we are taught not to express them that we end up in a dysregulated state, so the odd time an emotion happens to blow up on us, it's a blow up.

Not on a first date

Yes, brother, keep preaching.

Did you know that tears are as unique as snowflakes?

Yes brother.

It absolutely is.

Absolutely.

Obviously,
It has to happen otherwise it could suffocate you.
I used to be so strict about tears, even prided myself on not crying for a long time... I guess that's because I've been taught crying is a weakness and should definitely not happen easily, specially not, god forbid, in public.
As an adult, I cried a couple times in public, I was mortified. But then I learnt that it was okay, it is not your fault you can't stop them, sometimes it is the depression talking... and whoever judges you or comments negatively is a jerk.
So yeah, tears clean the heart and soul, and one should not feel forced to repress them.

A crying girl was something I had to get used to when dating my wife as teens. She cried easily, so I was very careful not to hurt her feelings.

Totally. Crying is the bodies release when it becomes overloaded..

This is so true, and may be behind the onset of disease, mental illness, etc...

You are my brother in Christ.

I totally agree.

You ARE a guy, sister. You just don't realize it.

I have a good cry but i do it alone

Same, I do as well. What you refuse to deal with now you will be forced to deal with later

True you become unhinged
