As the title states.

I'm breaking down.

I tried talking to someone, welled up and...

'Crying doesn't achieve anything'

Wtf, man? So, if you want to cry it's good, but if I do it, I'm faking?

Fuck off.

What a weird thing for someone to say. Crying is a physical response to feelings and emotions…I don't think it's ever intended to achieve anything. Unless someone were to purposely make themselves cry to gain empathy or something like that. Personally, whenever I cry, it is not voluntary. Just part of struggling with emotional turmoil and anxiety and other related things..I'm sorry someone said that to you! Very rude. Hope you may be feeling a bit better, now.

cry as much as u need to! i hate when people treat it as weak or attention-seeking. we all have our ways to cope or vent our emotions.

Whoever said that has zero empathy or is straight up stupid as fuck, what the hell do you mean "it doesn't achieve anything" ?!
That's how the human brain is wired to release heavy emotions and feelings, damn.

Really i'm so fed up with all that "men don't cry" shit.

Don't listen to these people. Cry all you have to

Such a cruel thing to say.

I personally haven't found breathing achieves much either, but I still do it involuntarily.

Crying does so much for a person, both externally and internally. Whoever said this to you is full of shit and needs their own views checked out; dont ever let someone control your emotions like that when youre struggling. Wish you all the best.
