People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician.

Its terrible advice. Crying is good for you.

Crying is good for you. Lighthearted encouragement and camaraderie is also good for you.

Eh, it depends on the situation. There is definitely a time and place for locking your emotions down. Most people will never need it though.

Maybe for the sake of maintaining social status, sure, but that's a sacrifice. Its just straight up physically unhealthy to stifle crying however.

Oh no I mean like physical requirements. Like on the side of a mountain you're climbing.

It's terrible advice if you struggle with it.

I however cry quite easily. In hindsight all this "don't suppress your feelings" advice honestly always felt more directed at boys and men.

Learning to turn off and distract yourself from bad feelings is also a skill. I think quite a few people - especially women - struggle with that, me included.
