Tip of the Day:

I’ve got your tips on ways to hold back your tears… Are you embarrassed or harassed when you cry? This will explain how to hold back inconvenient tears…Here are those tips…

1. Try not to think about what is causing the pain. Think of other things, for example a time when you were having a good time with your family and friends.

2. Walk away from the situation before you start to cry.

3. Hold your eyes open wide and don't blink very often. It is easier to keep the tears from starting than it is to stop them after they begin to fall.

4. While not moving your head, look up with your eyes. It is almost impossible to cry when you do this.

5. Pinch yourself somewhere or gently bite your tongue with your teeth to re-direct your attention to a localized, controllable physical pain.

6. Relax your jaw. This may seem weird, but it does help. Don't tighten your jaw, just relax. Open it once or twice, maybe.

7. Do give yourself time privately to cry about this specific trigger as well as generalized feelings of sadness or fear that you may have. If you are all bottled-up, you will likely be more prone to crying in public or in situations where you would rather not cry.

8. Sometimes people don't know that they are hurting you. If you don't let them know by crying, let them know in some other way or stay out of this type of situation if you can.

9. Make sure you need to hold back tears in a given situation. Keeping a "stiff upper lip" out of vanity or stubbornness can be exhausting. Letting people see that you are human can make relationships closer and help others feel more connected to and empathetic with you.
