why do I always feel embarassed to cry in front of people?

Crying is a perfectly normal, perfectly natural, perfectly human emotion. There is nothing at all wrong with it, however it is embedded in our mind that it is seen as a sign of weakness. It is unfortunate what society teaches as weak, as crying is a normal emotion that should be allowed to be expressed whenever and wherever necessary. Being able to cry and show those emotions is not a sign of weakness as society believes, but rather it is a sign of strength to allow yourself to express those feelings. Although it may feel embarrassing, everyone has a right over their own emotions and it is perfectly okay to cry in front of others. That is, in fact, a sign of true strength and inner courage ♥

Crying in front of people is embarrassing because it feels like showing weakness and vulnerability, when we always want to seem strong.

Well I am not sure if you are male or female. But if you are male I KNOW WHY! Our society expects men to be brave, strong and masculine. Crying is seen as the EXACT opposite of that. But you know what, i respect a man who can cry. It shoes he at least has a heart and may be someone you want to talk to. So I say do it. Guy or girl crying is a good way to relieve stress and I say EMBRACE it!

Crying is often considered as a sign of weakness. Most of us make an attempt to control our tears in front of people due to the fear of being labelled as someone who is weak. Its very important to understand that crying is an emotion and needs to be expressed whenever necessary.

I don't actually. I just cry. I remember going on walks crying, getting stares but i cried my heart out and felt better.

I am sorry to hear that you feel that way. However, crying is absolutely natural, and the most human thing to do. Only humans can express their emotions with both laughter and tears. When you cry, you cleanse your soul, and that is good for you. Do not feel embarrassed, you are doing absolutely fine

While crying is perfectly natural, it is seen as something weak, especially when done by a man. Even a woman crying in public is seen as somehow lacking in the strength to keep it inside. The fact that people are seen by society as less strong means that it's obviously embarrassing. The only solution is for more people to stop caring what is accepted and start thinking about what would be best. Sharing emotions in public is a positive response. It should never be seen as a sign of weakness, rather one of strength. But feeling embarrassed to embrace that as a breaker of society's rules is perfectly natural.

It seems to me that your obviously unhappy,possibly suffering with some anxiety issues either way it shouldn't hurt to see a councillor and seek further help

Usually people don't like to express their emotions in fear of being judged. It's normal, you aren't the only one.

Because we have been hypnotised by our societies that it is wrong to cry. It is often perceived as a sign of weakness and/or childish. Some even few those who cry in front of others as being emotionally unstable. So it has to do with your belief about what it means to cry in front of people.
