Psychology says people who never cry in front of anybody but can't hold onto tears when they are alone at times aren't as emotionally strong as they appear: What the behavior reveals?

Psychology says people who never cry in front of anybody but can't hold onto tears when they are alone may be managing emotions in different ways depending on their surroundings. Public emotional control can come from fear of judgment, concern for others, past experiences or learned coping habits. Crying in private can provide a space where a person feels safe enough to process stress and emotion.
