How not to cry at an inopportune moment?

Tears to hide from people are harder than laughter: if a fit of laughter can be disguised as acough, then the tears that flow down your cheeks will give you away. But not always tears in a public place are appropriate. And if they are related to the fact that someone has offended you, then do not cry - it's a matter of honor, because after tears you will show the offender that he has achieved his goal.

How not to cry, if you really want to? The simplest way is unpleasant physical sensations. It is also used to keep fromlaughter. As soon as you feel that you want to cry, bite the tongue, the inside of the lip or cheek. Or clench your fists so hard that the nails dug into the palm of your hand. Only do not overdo it, otherwise you will still have to cry - only now from pain, not from frustration.

But this way of not crying is not always effective. If possible, you need to eliminate the cause of your tears, and if this is not possible - then at least take a break from it. Let's say if tears are caused by someone's having youoffends, chastises, you can try to imagine the offender in a funny way. Do you remember how in Harry Potter one of the students represented the formidable Professor Snape in the clothes of his grandmother? Here is something like this you need to turn to you. The main thing is not to fall into the other extreme and not to laugh.

If there is no specific reason for tears-simply unpleasant memories or moods are overwhelmed by the "non-bodily" for a variety of reasons, one must somehow to distract and think about something extraneous. The hero of Krapivin's book "Lullaby for a brother"my grandfather advised: "As in the throat scrape, remember the green baboon of Jimmy." You can follow his advice literally and really imagine a green baboon, so as not to cry.

In principle, anything can become your "Baboon Jimmy". Just try to be distracted by things funny and funny or at least neutral. If you, trying to get away from one problem, remember about a dozen others, it is unlikely that it will improve your emotional state.

Well, do not forget breathe deeply and deeply, this will additionally help you not to cry. After crying - it's not just tears, accompanied by a certain emotional state. Crying is also accompanied by specific facial expressions, contractions of the diaphragm and changes in breathing (long breath and step exhalation or vice versa), outwardly this manifests itself in sobs and sobs. So, even breathing, perhaps, will not help keep tears, but it will save you from more obvious manifestations of weeping - sobbing and sobbing.

By the way, some help to smoke, and it's upnot only that smoking itself is soothing. The point is that, while tightening, the smoker breathes deeper and more evenly. But we will not recommend this method to use. If you do not smoke or smoke very rarely - Do not need to reach for a cigarette so as not to cry, it is better to use less harmful methods for health.

But you do not need to abuse the techniques to keep from crying. Use them only if you really do not want to cry in public. If you are alone, then do not hold back tears and try not to cry, it is better to throw out all the negative, not giving himaccumulate. All the same, sooner or later you will be "pierced" at the most inopportune moment, and to keep the tears that have been accumulating for weeks and even months is very, very difficult.

By the way, if in recent times you increasingly want to cry about or without, see a doctor "Eyes on a wet place" can testify not only about psychological problems and stress, but also about problems with the nervous and endocrine systems.
