I don't mind crying.  It can be very beneficial, emotionally and even physically, to have a good cry and get it out (of one's mind and one's sinuses).

But I hate crying in front of people.  Hate it.  And, perversely, if I'm already upset and then there are people around witnessing me lose my composure, that just upsets me more.  So now I'm in tears from whatever is bothering me and from frustration and anger that people are seeing me lose control.

Argh.

Try not to let it bother you, Fox. Given the circumstances, I'm fairly certain that the people seeing you cry understand the reason. It would be worse to hold it in.

I know how you feel. And I also suspect that it makes you even angrier that people pay more attention to the crying than the reason that you're upset in the first place (at least that's how I feel). ARGH. I'm with you, sister!

What you describe is how I also feel in those situations - it's just lousy. I'm so sorry you lost your grandfather. *hugs you*
