How do you stop yourself from crying?
When I’m getting angry, tears swell up in my eyes. The best concept I’ve found to stop it, is to go into a bathroom, stare at how bad I look, and burst out laughing.
However, when I don’t have time to do this, when I’m in an argument, for example, I usually close my eyes, though the tears still leak through. I do need a new concept though.
I know, I know, crying is a good stress management technique, blah blah. I don’t care. I need some practical ways to stop the tears when they are inconvient. I know when I need to cry, and I do. But not when I’m angry.
So.
Any suggestions?
I swear to god, if you say “Laugh!”, or “Close your eyes!”, I will hunt you down and throw a book at your face so you can learn to read before you type.
Carry on.
*sigh* And I don’t believe in God, so please do not say prayer.

Punch yourself in the face really hard.
punch your cheek bones im the same thing and thats what i do to stop it
I just imagine that for every tear I cry my d*ck will shrink an inch
It works like a charm
act like your crying because of a sad moment on your favorite barney show
Take deep breaths.
why stop? you’re only human…
do NOT close your eyes, your eyelids will squeze the tears out D:
what you can do is look up.
studies have shown that it is harder to cry when one is looking up. try it, i works!
Think of something completely stupid and random. I usually think of a sewing machine or the making of light bulb. LOL – I know it sounds dumb. But if you think of those things, you’re like, “Wow, that’s dumb” And you quick crying. I do that at funerals.
clench your fist and stare at the wall or something plain. and bite your lip
you should just relax, breathe in and out deeply a few times, and take your mind off of the situation, maybe to something that you enjoy doin. so that way you dont get stressed about it and start crying. hope i helped!
i swallow my feeling shut down and become numb, i may be listening but am i really listening. I have alot of emotional scars and has made me become callous to alot to things.
I masterbate – I know, I need shooting dead
IT WAS A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Serious Answer – I never cry, hardly
Dehidration
try pinchin the bridge of your nose and looking up..
You may cry so much because of your disbelief in God. You write like you are intelligent but ask a dumb question. You not only told us to not write the best 3 answers, one of which you testified worked, but demanded something that you know is not there. Are you trying to find something, maybe God!
