Sometimes it feels really good to squeeze all those tears out, it can make you feel better about moving on. It's not weak, it's just a process that helps.
It's not always a good idea to cry in front of others, and your teachers were probably just getting a kid to stop fussing more than teaching you crying is immoral
Have fun with your personas though, don't make yourself depressed by being the antithesis of your identity
Yes, but I'm an INFP (introvert, iNtuitive, feeling, and perceiving); as a perceptive type, I took "stop fussing" as "stop crying and making things a huge deal"
The results from those tests change based on how you feel at the time
Really what was going on is that you were told you were doing something wrong at an impressionable age, and so now in adulthood you've built up a rejection of sadness, look up Carl Jung's the shadow. Your shadow is everything you don't like about yourself segregated from your consciousness, and it's common for people to construct defense mechanisms to keep the shadow in place since more often than not it's going to take a lot of work to tear those walls down
It kind of worries me that you're defending your taught fear of crying in a post you made to declare your taught fear of crying
I'm also iffy on your understanding of the psychology that goes into Ocean and these online personality trait tests
I had a pretty emotional INFP ex girlfriend who while very emotional knew how to to keep it inside when in public and when to let it out in private.
Hell when she broke up with me she managed to keep in inside until she broke down in a car, she was disappointed that I didnt shed a tear over the breakup though.

Don't pretend that test actually means anything.
