Being able to cry on command isn't just for movie stars or Broadway actors; it tends to be quite useful in everyday life. If you're the strong stoic type, you've probably found that most people take little notice of your feelings. This is because you haven't let them know. Crying may not be a natural event for you, but with a little training you can learn to cry on command and perhaps get someone to notice that they've hurt your feelings.
Instructions
1. Focus your energy on the hurt that you feel and your tears will not be fake. Allow yourself to indulge in the act of crying. The tears that you shed contain toxic elements that are begging to be released from your body. Remember that and know that it's okay to cry for medicinal purposes.
2. Forget the taboos that made you unable to cry.
3. Dredge up old memories that revolve around crying. Did you hear the phrase, "I'll give you something to cry about" as a child? Family training often thwarts emotional outlet. Think about your past and the lessons it has taught you.
4. Create a character in your head that is strong and a picture of someone that you would like to be who can cry. Make this vision real and live the vision if only for a few seconds. Even if you cry on command, your tears will be real rather than fake.
5. Think about the last time that you cried, a wrong that you would like to right, a loss that you may have suffered or someone that you hurt or hurt you. This pity party has a purpose. The purpose is to get you into the mood of crying.
6. Use fake crying sparingly. Too much loses the effect. If you're learning to cry for a theatrical production, learn to be the character that you're playing. If they cry, it will come easier as that person, rather than you, creating fake tears.
