Tears are medicine for the soul. They are common to all people, and men are no exception. Representatives of the stronger sex, for whom tears are a strict taboo, are more prone to stress and illness.
The world of stereotypes
Tears are a way of expressing emotions common to all people, regardless of gender, age and outlook on life. Society is accustomed to perceiving reality through the prism of stereotypes, so many men are “programmed” from childhood not to show tears in public. However, this does not mean that being in splendid isolation, the representatives of the stronger sex cannot give free rein to emotions.
Psychologists say that men get sick more often than women, because they consider tears a strict taboo. This problem comes from childhood, when parents instill in the minds of boys the stereotype "real men never cry", forgetting that tears are not a manifestation of weakness, but only a way to free the body of negative energy. Emotional outbursts are equally characteristic of men and women - representatives of the stronger sex also react sharply to the loss of a loved one, betrayal and betrayal, and therefore have every right to cry as much as they want.
We should not forget about men's tears of joy. The birth of a child, a wedding with a beloved woman are so touching events that it is not possible to restrain emotions for many of the stronger sex.
Is it worth holding back tears?
A man, unlike a woman, cannot afford to cry in public and go unnoticed. Of course, if we are not talking about critical situations associated with the death of relatives or friends. A representative of the stronger sex should not restrain emotions in the presence of a loved one, this will not show his weakness at all. For many women, men's tears are a manifestation of the deepest and most sincere feelings.
However, they should not become a systematic phenomenon. A man shedding tears always and everywhere will definitely not arouse respect from others and will put the chosen one in an awkward position. Each person is individual, sometimes representatives of the stronger sex are so sentimental that they can burst into tears even when watching a melodrama. This does not mean that they are weak and effeminate, tears are just a manifestation of a state of mind, the same as laughter, smile, etc. Restraining emotions is harmful to the nervous system, so men who never allow themselves to cry try to find alternative ways to “defuse” the body. Sometimes they are drawn to a bottle and cigarettes, causing problems not only for themselves, but also for loved ones. Such "strong" people certainly will not arouse respect in the eyes of others, so tears are not the worst way to gain peace of mind.
