I've come to realize that emotions, in general sad, hurt, and angry emotions, are seen as a sign of weakness. Are they? Are they a sign that you let people break you down and don't have self confidence enough to brush it off? Most people are going to feel the effects of hurtful actions or words, it's a matter of how it is reflected to others that seems to be judged in one way or another.
It's ok to hurt, it's ok to feel emotions. The natural human response is natural for a reason. Its a way of healing or dealing. When you don't allow these things to come out that is when we, as humans, find unnatural and unhealthy ways to deal with emotions.
Being strong enough to cry, even when you don't want anyone to see you, is probably a stronger reaction then to pretend that everything is "just fine". There is fear there, though. That your emotions will not be understood or judged as something other then you intend.
Trust me, when you live in a world that tears and feelings create an environment of hostility and anger, it is hard to feel free to let them out. Don't loose yourself in what others may think of you and your feelings. Let them out! Be you, no matter the consequence. If they don't like those things about you, then your better off without them in your life. They will only hold you back from becoming you. From learning and growing.
