I provided cliffs even though I would implore people watch it. Their videos (school of life) are very insightful.

- Wisest thing about young children is their ability to cry when they want. Must stem from not having any prideful concerns about their place in the world.

- Such wisdom tends to get lost as we age. We start to associate maturity with a sense of invulnerability. The suppression of emotion is also confused with the idea that we have may complete control of every complex or hostile situation we experience.

- We should always remain 'crybabies'. I.e., people who remember their natural human inclination to hurt and grieve. If we continue to deny ourselves the ability to express these emotions, we are one day in danger of 'snapping'. Being able to confront everyday frustrations, grief and other forms of distress with the wisdom and honesty we were able to embrace in childhood, is essential to mental stability. It is a significant method of dealing with our greviances and putting them to bed - for lack of better terms. The narrator states that in midst of these crying sessions, methods of cheer oneself up may arise (it's odd because today I was spontaneously thinking about how children do this a lot. They will spend hours revelling in their sorrow when they've hurt themselves or been told off, and then out of the blue they're happy again).

- Explores the idea that the need of affection and reassurance in times of distress doesn't dwindle in adulthood. And that adults shouldn't feel ashamed in desiring what they may have in childhood.

What do you guys think??

I havent watched yet, but I agree about the therapeutic value of crying. Sometimes I just need to cry for what I think is no reason, just for a few minutes, and then I'm good! Not always because of hormones, either. I also wish we would stop making boys feel like it's not "manly" to cry. This sets them up to withhold their feelings as they get older. I'm not saying they need to boohoo over every little thing, but they should know it's okay to feel something, and it doesn't make you weak or a punk, etc.

When you cry, your mind and your body aknowledge that you were moved (in a good or a bad way) by something. No one else may find your feelings valid, but your own body does and that's just very comforting to me.

Toxic people are particularly weary of those who allow themselves to be vulnerable.

Someone tells you something hurtful under the guise of joking ? Tell them how hurtful their comment is (loudly if there are people nearby :whistle:) and watch the dynamic shift.

My mom used to say I was crazy when I told her that I would give myself time at the end of each college semester to cry, then continue on with all the finals and work I had to do because I needed to let out whatever negative energy and anxiety out before being productive in high stress situations. It never failed me and tbh it still hasn’t

I never liked to cry. I know it’s healthy, but to me crying is showing a sense of vulnerability that I can’t bring myself to show. Even if I do cry, I always cry behind closed doors, away from everyone.

I've just never found it therapeutic. It gives me a headache, makes me tired and drained. I cry after every therapy session and I have to be careful as to when I schedule it because I don't want to walk into class with a red, puffy face and a headache. It adds more stress than it relieves in me.

I have my regular crying spells. Then I pick up my boot-straps and keep trekking on as best I can.

The narrator mentioned the importance of allocating yourself the time to cry in private as well. It's not necessarily about training yourself to burst into tears in front of people. I personally could never cry in front of people. At the same time, it's a shame that we can't showcase our vulnerability to loved ones once in a while.

I cry a lot! Sometimes that's just the only way for me to process thoughts and emotions, bad and good.
I've been crying a whole lot lately

There are different types of dry — I know the kind you’re talking about, that’s one of those angry cries

Its helpful. Yesterday I was waiting to cry and it didnt come. Then it came out of nowhere like 30 mins ago. I needed it but I didnt get the relief I usually do.

My panic attacks at their height are crying spells. Like it will be flood of emotions and then I push through.
