I don’t like comforting ppl when they cry, like mostly if I don’t know you that well like i genuinely think in my head why can’t you do that in private like everyone else, idk it just activates my fight or flight mode. There’s a time and a place.

there's nothing wrong with crying in public and being free to express your emotions.

it's important to remember that we all feel things differently. some people are more sensitive and express their emotions more freely than us, it's not embarassing. all that you can control in the situation if u knw the person crying is to comfort them and ask them if they wanna go somewhere and get them to a less public place to continue feeling their emotions.
