Answer

I can't hold it in. I cry lol

Answer

From everything I had gone through, I learned to be tough and hold it in. Even with stupid things like watching movies with my family. If a sad part came one and someone started tearing up, they would make fun of you. And that was the easy stuff. Up until my current boyfriend. I never cried in front of ANYONE! It was like I had to be strong And couldn't let anyone know how hurt I was. I put on a fake smile for 3 years straight. I was to the point where even crying at night didn't help. I went into a bad depression, stopped eating. I dropped 25ish lbs in 2 weeks. I was so bad that even my fake smile couldn't cover it up. With my boyfriend now, he makes it so easy. I can cry in front of him and he wouldn't judge me or mock me or anything. I cried one time over a spoiled Christmas present! Because I held everything in and that for whatever reason made me burst. Anyways, my point is, if you have to cry, cry. Even if it a a few tears or a river. Holding it in doesn't help at all! If you have to cry, do it
