Emotional Well-being: Accepting and Expressing Feelings

Changing Attitudes Towards Crying

Attitudes Over Time

Encouraging Emotional Expression

Expressing Emotions

It's important to allow yourself to cry and express your feelings, regardless of gender stereotypes.

Supporting Others

Providing Support

If you see someone upset, give them space to process their emotions. Afterwards, offer support and a listening ear.

Empathy and Understanding

Empathy Over Sympathy

Show empathy towards others' feelings without necessarily feeling sorry for them, creating a supportive environment.
