Yes. I was raised with this same notion and eventually discarded after years of bottling feelings. Own up to how you feel and be dead honest with others. It commands great respect from those that feel and can not express themselves. Crying was the most healthy habit I learned it releases this powerful energy. Knowing how to hold it in can protect you at moments. Just recognize when and where you can release it.
Hearing stories of others who prevailed against the odds, remembering love shared with significant others, or listening to music that bloomed out of someone's pain makes me cry.
The world is overflowing with apathy. I found it fascinating how certain cultures would preserve sensitivity in children and others beat, or educate, it out of them. Emotion is our connecting bridge to fellow humans and music is reflection of self. Don't stop talking or feeling and give it time to loosen up. Took me years.
P.S. You already bothered us with your problems writing this post ;). We come here to do a self-check on our sanity. Let it all out we actually do care what you have to say.
Is it normal I dont want to cry because I will look weak
