 It's actually cool to be the crybaby. Studies show that the more you hold back your emotions and tears, the more likely you are to have a weakened immune system, cardiovascular disease, and mental health disorders. And if you're someone who endures a lot of stress, crying is actually a healthy outlet for you and provides much needed relief. In some ways, crying can act as a natural medicine as it releases endorphins that can help heal both your external and internal pain.
