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.

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*
