Today I made a guy cry. I just stood there totally dumbfounded and thinking when I looked up and saw the tears. I’m thinking … oh comon man, take it like a man…
I just didn’t know what the correct reaction was. Mind you, he’s not my age, and he’s quite younger than me. Maine daanta, and he just started crying. I am not a close relative to him or anything like that, so I don’t think he got hurt because I mean anything to him. Rather, I think it just embarassed him I guess. Kid is a teenager and is trying to be more manly, I suppose, and I just chopped his budding ego into pieces.
I feel sooooo bad.
And its not like I could say sorry either, because he did something wrong, and that’s that. I can’t be like “okay sorry I scolded you, because I shouldn’t have”.
Younger boys, I have come to believe from this experience, seem to be really sensitive in this developmental state. They’re developing their “man”-qualities, I suppose.
I guess as boys get older they still cry…but they just train themselves not to show it.
This boy cried with a group of girls surrounding him too.
No no. This was no fake cry. The boy is having issues I think. Apparently, he broke down crying the day before cuz this other boy insulted him. I didn't see it, but another one of the "aunties" told me.
It happens. Hormones. Don't feel bad, growing up brings out many different emotions in girls and boys, sometimes it's just the wrong emotion at the wrong time.
Ouch, he's probably humiliated. His dad needs to have a talk with him. He can't be crying in front of girls like that. Atleast go into his room or something.
But Saima we are not talking about any ordinary girl. It is PCG and I am sure half of GS male population has been harrassed by our gudia and cried, i know i have. On scond thoughts you may not know, she is a lot nicer to females.
what did he do that made u scold him :D
Ofcourse should be directed towards the right path rather than ignoring the mistakes... if u think that what u did was right.... then no problemo :)
Next time take him 2 a place where no1's around, men feel highly embarrassed when they're scolded in public!
OK, I'll share a story at the risk of being called a sissy boy. I'm not a crier. But when I was moving to NY, the week before, all my friends in NC were starting to get a little sad. These are VERY GOOD friends. My definition of a very good friend is one who I can give the keys to my house, car, whatever and let him use them without question and he can do the same. So anyway, we're all sad, my moving day is coming closer and closer.
So there's like 7 of us crammed in this one friend's office. This guy is a musician and whips out his guitar and starts singing fun songs, he used to bring his guitar to work every Thursday. And then all of a sudden he turns to me and says that this song is for me leaving and he started playing/singing "Time of your life" by Green Day. Those of you who've heard this song can see why more than one of us started getting that choked up feeling and then it was a battle to keep from letting go. It was one of those "i've got something in my eye" moments.
I feel weird when I see a grown man crying. I don't know why ... I guess it depends on the reasons as to why he's crying. I read Chicken Soup for the Soul after Oprah recommended it a few years ago when there was all that type about it. Well, pretty much all the stories were about grown men finding themselves and crying for the first time in their adult lives for, what seemed to me, stupid reasons. It was so pathetic. That book just turned me off completely instead of doing something positive for my soul.
