As an adult, I feel much more pressure to not openly show my emotions compared to when I was younger. I often get the sense that generally most people's consensus on crying/showing emotion is that you should never cry over a small upset or just because you're having a day where your hormones are making your emotions much more pronounced. I feel like the only time crying isnt seen as being completely weak as a human behaviour is in exceptional circumstances, such as if someone is going through three or four highly traumatic situations all at once. For example, it sounds completely moronic but I got caught in a rain storm earlier, I went to the group where I have my outreach wellbeing meet up on a Wednesday each week, but I was completely soaked when I arrived and honestly when i got into the building i felt close to tears and i could feel my voice going blubbery/shaky when i walked in because i just felt like i must have looked so unkempt when i arrived with my clothes and shoes sopping wet etc. i tend to honestly cry at least once most days, although I usually try and do it with some discretion so only around people I trust or if someone else is also crying then it feels safer to do. If im being brutally honest, I feel like on past occasions when I've been in the company of people who have a "happy go lucky"/seemingly endlessly positive attitude towards life, I've felt like if i were to express any "sad" or difficult emotions through crying, in front of them, that i'd get criticized or slandered for not being able to match their same happy, carefree, positive attitude
