I don't seeing crying as either weak or strong. Anything that's judged in this way is reflective of the observer, not the thing itself. I cry a lot, always have, and was punished severely for it, but I could not stop then and I can't stop now. If someone wants to think I'm weak, that's their issue, really, because it's like blaming me for being tall. I did not ask to be this way. Weakness is when someone points out another's flaws to deflect from their own.
