I think it is true that it is not unhealthy to cry. Perhaps some people do not need to cry, but I don't think avoiding crying is an indication of more executive control. I cry all the time, because I'm not trying to avoid it. It feels good to cry for me.
- yibg 7y agoI do try not to cry in front of other people and for the most part succeed. When alone though some times I do cry (eg watching a sad movie), because the effort to hold it in doesn’t seem to be worth it. But the thing is I don’t feel better having cried. Often times I actually feel worse, like a positive feedback loop. The crying makes me feel worse so I cry more which makes me feel worse still and so on.
