What are some genuine good ways to stop yourself from crying?
-
I need to tell someone off but I already know I'm going to be close to tears when I do. And I don't want her to see me crying.
And please spare me any mention of how it is okay to cry. That's not why I'm here.
Suck it up, buttercup.

Also rehearse it until you don't feel anything saying it.
Those would be my two strategies.

I just looked at your entire posting history, and dude, I think you need a hug.

Now the singular fucking clue. I have been crying non-stop for the past week and a half, two weeks.

Sorry you feel called out. Attacking me is not the answer.
I'm going to block you now. Goodbye.

I know what you said, but you're not the only person here. People who are ashamed of crying deserve to have more than your stigmatizing position represented.

wrote last edited by [email protected]It's hilarious and tragic that you feel attacked. While projecting that on others ("Feel called out?"/"I feel attacked!")
