My pastor cried during his sermon yesterday.  It wasn't the "please give generously" or "we need more Sunday school teachers" type of crying.  It was legitimate "I'm hurt and this is what hurt people do" crying.  Nothing wrong with crying.  Nevertheless, I can't stand being around crying people.  It makes me want to jump out of my skin and run away.  It's so intensely awkward that it raises my heart rate and makes me squirm in my seat.  I guess I feel like crying is a personal thing that should be done in your personal time (that sounds meaner than it was meant).  And if a certain topic inevitably makes you cry, don't talk about it, especially in front of a group of people.  I'm under the mistaken belief that crying is an error in the system; the release of built-up emotions in an uncontrollable way.  In my opinion, crying should be avoided at all costs.  This probably says quite a bit about me. #psychology
