Do you cry quietly or are you one of those persons that like to get attention so they sob and scream while crying?

No. I am not a woman, so I can't use any crying technique to get away with anything. Crying is a great tool many women I know use and abuse a lot. When I see a woman crying quietly, and she wants to hide it if she discovers that you noticed what she was going through, well, that's different. That's real pain and it gets my serious attention.

I cry quietly i hate the attention seekers.
-
neither. i don't cry for attention, but i also don't cry quietly most of the time. anyhow, i usually don't like people to see me cry.
-
I usually cry privately. If I am close to someone and I know they will not ridicule me for crying then I will. It's very painful to cry in front of people and have them tell you to "knock it off", "stop feeling sorry for yourself" etc.
-
Loud and noisy.

I used to scream a bit, but I was pretty troubled mentally back then... Now I just cry quietly to myself.

I cry quietly. There's some times in life where there's just no controlling your cry- so you wail and cry out, not meaning to or to get attention. I've been in those situations, and I wasn't looking for attention. I just hurt so bad I felt like I couldn't get my cry out- and all these cries and wails just came out. But on a general basis, I cry quietly.

I cry quietly over most things, although if it is something really making me sad, I tend to let the occasional sob out. I don't make noises for attention though, and haven't done so since I was 5.
-
I cry very quietly in public. But every once in a while (like recently) I've cried REALLY LOUD, and sobbed out of control. Only when no one can hear me, though.
-
I cry alone and locked in my room.
-
I cry silently if I can help it.
-
I hate crying in front of people. If I can't help it I do it silently and cover my face.
-
Silently.
-
I cry alone, the theatrics are for the drama queens.
-
I almost always cry in private. The only time I ever remember crying in public was a few months after my Pastor died and in our church we saw a video of him preaching. I did it quietly.
-
Never have I cried in front of someone else.
-
around people i always cry silently, just let the tears trickle down my face but i do it around strangers who do not care whats is going on in my life.... when i am all alone and absolutely sure that nobody can hear me and when the pain gets to much i can cry loudly, scream out some sentences that bothers me... then there is no way of stopping me and getting it out of the system helps. one thing that i have not yet done is crying when there is somebody close to me around... even when i am alone and people come to me to ask how i am doing (and they see that i am crying) i just smile and tell them everything is ok and when they leave i feel even worse!

I don't like your supposition that those who sob out loud are attention seekers. How unkind to label them so. Maybe some people do this for attention, but I have in times of great sorrow and anguish sobbed in my grief because I couldn't help it. It didn't matter if there was someone there or not. I've done it completely alone and with a close friend there. Maybe you've never been that much in pain. I hope you never do, then. I normally cry quietly and usually no one knows, except my husband who seems to have a sixth sense that I'm sad. But there are times when its just what a person has to do and I've never stopped to think whether someone out there thinks I'm doing it for attention.
