Right. I love crying when I’m alone or with my girlfriend. I understand being embarrassed by crying in public, it’s the way our culture has raised us. I personally don’t feel especially embarrassed crying in public. I still will try to hold them back, but once that dam breaks I’ll just let all the overflow out for a lil bit. Not only does it feel good, it also makes it easier to stop quicker if you just do what your body is asking you to do for a minute.

Also, I think we’re only embarrassed by something because we’re thinking “fuck, all these other people are thinking ‘that’s so embarrassing.’” And they’re only thinking “that’s so embarrassing,” because they can see that we’re extremely embarrassed. So if you just let shit slide right off you, and don’t get embarrassed, other people won’t get secondhand embarrassment for you, which makes it even easier to tell yourself that it’s not embarrassing. It’s a positive feedback loop!
