Try and think of a happy song to take my mind of whatever was making me want to cry. Or go to the toilets and try to calm down there.

Get someone to give you a nipple cripple. You'll be in so much pain you won't be able to concentrate on crying.

Say something really random in your head to take you mind off it like "I have an umbrella" or something similarly boring, it calms you down just repeating something in your head. :smile:

Just think happy thoughts, keep it locked in, then release it all later. Or have a massive cry before you leave, a bit like having a **** to avoid getting a massive boner later on.

Sometimes you get really pissed and upset but you dont wanna be seen crying, what do you do>?

Don't experience 'crying' in your surroundings and by 15 you should be unable to cry.

Or just condition yourself with onions lol.

Crying is the same principle as sweating, so in theory deodorant should stop you crying.

But when I get sad I stop being sad and be awesome instead :yep:

LOLZ at the people in this thread.

Crying isnt an option for me.Even if something awful has happenend i just suck it up,turn it into anger or simply dont care.

Toughen up,the human race wouldnt be what it is today by crying like babies.

Nothing can make me cry as i have hollowed out my feelings.

Crying in front of others means giving permission to ask 'why are you crying', about obviously the most unpleasant subject imaginable to you, so I don't really see the point. Very occasionally on my own though, like 3 times in 10 years I've cried like mad and felt like I'd had a breakthrough of some kind the next day...

I remember that I'm a man.

If only that actually worked all the time...

It works for some of us. :wink:

I don't think I've cried since before I entered a double-digit age. Funny thing is, even when I've tried to (gaining emotional closure et al, not a pussy thing to do at all :h:

) I couldn't. So I'm assuming I don't have tear ducts anymore. I'm the next step in evolution, mofos!

I just take a lot of deep breaths whilst biting pretty hard (but not making it bleed) on the tip of my tongue. It takes my mind off whatever was upsetting me and allows me to calm down, at least.
