Embarassing

Everybody has one thing that they wish they could hold back when they're in public and can't. And when it comes out, they are really embarassed.

Mine is crying in public.

It's so embarassing when it happens because I really can't control it that well. I have very over-reactive emotions, (thanks to my mom) and when something makes me really sad, I cry. I hate it with a passion. Once people realize that you're crying, they'll try to comfort you, or they'll make fun of you depending on their nature. And sometimes the situation leads to you explaining why whatever made you cry affected you the way it did.

Those explanations are not always fun, so the best idea would be to avoid them altogether. I have a hard time doing that though, because I can't keep my friggin emotions under control!

What brings this on is that I literaly just starting crying during a class. We were reading something, and I found the ending pretty tragic, so I cried. Thank God only one person noticed, and she didn't ask any questions. The answer would not have been satisfactory to her, I think. I'm pretty sure it would only make sense to me anyway, which is why I like to get away with crying without being noticed. Most of the time it's a really stupid reason to anyone but me, and other times, I just don't want to talk about it.

In the past couple years I have learned to control it better, but I still lose control sometimes, and then I get frustrated. I really wish there was a way to completely control it.

I think a little sensitivity is always a good thing. Don't feel bad about crying in public. My mom ALWAYS crys when like something good happens to me or like the good guy gets the girl at the end of the movie. I used to get embarrassed by it, but it just makes me appreciate my mother more cause she cares that much about the little things in life.

I know exactly how you feel. Whenever I am confronting someone who upset me or talking to someone about something really important to me....I cry! Then they feel bad and that wasn't my point at all. It makes me look kinda weak, but I can't stop it. It's so frustrating!

I'm also a crier. I feel your pain!

I totally get what you are feeling. And when people ask me why I am crying or expect me to explain I just cry more and they don't understand that they are not going to get a good answer out of me until the tears are gone!
