                                     Why Crying A Lot Means You're Mentally Tough




Some of history's toughest people have openly cried - often in public, such as George Washington, Obama and Abraham Lincoln. And why wouldn't they? According to psychologists, crying is actually a sign of mental strength.

1. Crying Means You're Not Afraid of Emotions

Confronting your emotions is not easy. Believe me, suppressing emotions such as disappointment, sadness, anger or frustration is the easiest way when they are negative. But crying forces you to confront whatever you are feeling; it requires strength, bravery and the ability to look inwards.
  

      2.  Crying Shows A Lack of Concern For Social Expectations

Men who cry are stigmatized as weak and unmanly. When women cry, they are often called crazy and dramatic. Crying despite stigmatization shows that you are not afraid to put social convention aside if it means dealing with your overwhelming emotions. That's strength, my friend.  feel so.

      3.  Crying Makes You a Leader

Let's say you and a group receive some upsetting news. If you decide to be strong and shed the first tear, the other will go ''Hey, I guess it is okay to show emotion right now''. Therefore by openly crying, you liberate people around you.
Congrats, you 've just made yourself a leader - one that people won't fear judgement from.


      4.   Crying Shows That You Know Hot Offload Stress Before It Breaks You

For many people, crying relieves built up stress that could easily become damaging if not dealt with properly. I believe so as well. So, I do believe that strength is about much more than hardiness. So a strong person is like a good structure that relieves stress effectively before it becomes destructive.


So yes, whenever you find yourself crying is a sign of mental strength. If you feel like crying then cry; you will feel much better, confront your emotions and deal with the current situation becoming even stronger. At the end of day we will always find ourselves fighting over ''demons''.
