Oh boy...
I grew up in a house where crying was a weakness---whoever cried first lost.
It was simply understood, never spoken.
So, I am someone who wishes she could cry more often and normally...
Crying, like laughing, is an appropriate response to sadness...
It can get out of hand...like inappropriate humor/laughter...----try not to be fearful.
