Crying is a natural thing for us. It is actually also healthy. It is said to be a natural way to
reduce stress that, if left unchecked, could have negative physical effects on the body,
including increased risk of cardiovascular disease and other stress-related disorders. By
crying, you somehow relieve your stress, improve your mood, and lower your blood
pressure and many more. By suppressing your emotions and bottling it all up, you might
find yourself exploding and overwhelmed by your emotions later on. Considering this,
by discouraging men from crying as it does not suit them, it takes their mental health at
risk. While crying is frowned upon for them, the toxic masculinity also views having
mental health problems weak as well. Research suggests that depression is diagnosed
less frequently in men because of the tendency to deny illness, self-monitor symptoms,
and self-treat. Suppressing all your emotions can lead to dangerous things. In today’s
society, some people are acknowledging these issues and are trying to fix these
problems. Although, there are still people who hold up to their beliefs and refuse to
listen. Nevertheless, we still have hope. As long as there's one person who tries to make
our society better, we must not lose our faith. However, if we really wish to get rid of it,
then all of us must take action.
