Shoot, I even have problems when I cry as a woman.......I grew up with a mother who was over emotional.....& I didn't want to be anything like her......so very seldom would I allow myself to cry.....& sometimes when I got so frustrated that the tears wanted to come out...I took a long walk by MYSELF so that no one else would see my emotions & it was definitely that way when I was the only woman engineer working with all men.....wasn't about to show any sign of weakness around them.

So some women have the same problem that men have.....even though I know it's ok to cry. Since that time, I have allowed myself to show my emotions a lot more....but I really have to be upset or frustrated or really feel horrible about something before I let the tears out however in therapy.....I seem to have a lot of tears that won't come out any other time.....behind closed doors & in a place where I know I'm safe from others knowing.

I think & I know that it's ok for men to cry...& for me also....but it doesn't mean that's how it comes out in real life
