How can I stop myself from crying in stressful situations?

I have this same exact problem, especially if I'm very angry. Instead of yelling or screaming, I burst into tears. It used to make me feel stupid and weak when I do it but now I just realized that it's just my way of expressing my frustrations. I've tried doing something about it but nothing seems to work for me.

Try to feel the minutes before this happens, then stop and take a few deep breaths before you speak again. If you wish to speak to someone in a planned conversation, write out on paper your views, feelings, proofs or whatever you will be discussing. Carry a water bottle and take a few sips when you sense a loss of control. If you can't stop, just say,"excuse me while I take a minute to think this over." Be sure to carry tissues at all times. Do not apologize for this, simply ask for your minutes and thank the other person for his patience. You're not the only one, a whole bunch of us humans react this way, and it is maddening and frustrating, and understandable.

Oh, hell, I wish I knew - it happens to me, quite involuntarily - I would be trying to calmly discuss a situation, then I would notice a wetness - and find tears rolling down my cheeks.

I think the key in my case is that I was brought up by a very very strict, fault-finding father - no matter what I said or did, I could never be right - so now in times of stress I just feel it's all up for me, and no-one is going to co-operate or take my word - so I cry out of frustration. Maybe you have something like that in your background?

Take deep breath when you are about to cry! If someone yell at you, don't pay attention at them. just think of something happy and tell urself ur not a weakling! Better yet, look away when they they talk to you. Remember not to look into their eyes and just pretend ur looking at them!

If it's happening in a professional setting you should try to get some help. I think the best way is to role play different scenarios. Have a good friend act out some of the situations that have occurred. It has to be someone that isn't afraid to let you have it and make the scenario seem real. Once you find that trigger point, next step would be to get it under control.

Heyy look crying isn’t the worst thing everyone does it it’s just a way that your body gets thing under control if you get me

the only way I think you can stop yourself from getting emotionally upset at an argument or when your angry or sad and so on is to just walk away from the problem and try not to let it get to you its hard to not let things get to you when your upset and angry but you should try or even just put your hand or hands over your eyes for a second or two sometimes this stops the crying a bit

Hope this helped

well u can make yourselve calm and make yourselve used to the situation from being understandable and always try to think positive in a way that you really wanna explain the point and do not ever think in a negetive option and when you r trying to say the point u do not have to lie just go through it a if you are just talking to your friend as usual.and don't be nervous.

Girl, I have that problem but I have such an explosive temper that if I don't cry I will be the **** out of whoever it is! And I can't be doing that! So I cry! I feel like they are angel tears coming down to save someone!

So look at it like a blessing from God!

Whoa ... I find myself in a similar situation, but i stumbled upon this quote and it sort of helped: "There's no use crying over split milk, go and milk another cow"!!!

sit in calm place

start some calm music which you like

close your eyes

remind the every situation when you cried dont get envolved or dont think whats right or wrong just watch

dont force your mind to do anything you may start crying again dont stop it
