Sometimes, people who are sad and broken express their feelings by crying because hiding them can damage their heart work!

[@andreafixes]

That's very true ⭐

[@Shota-z1u]

I'm Japanese, and today's topic is quite interesting. In terms of crying, it seems that Japanese and Brits have a similar tendency. I'd like to avoid crying in front of people as much as possible.

[@lilianatria2877]

In Italy, instead, when someone dies, it's common to express your sadness by crying, we don't pay someone to do that like in India, but we tend not to repress our feelings. Even when we meet a person we know, we tend to express our friendship by kissing or shaking hands

[@letsplayroblox6062]

I totally agree with that video. People of each country express their feelings differently. I've heard that people In Russia hide their emotions when bad accident happen. However men did that. In my point of view expressing emotions depend on individual people too

[@veronicamalinka]

Better to ask the Russians themselves.. 🙄It depends on everyone..

Turkish: Yas tutanların ünlü sert üst dudakları, acılarını bastırmaya çalışırken sarsıldı, ancak içten içe mutsuz ve üzgündüler. English: She was feeling down in the dumps and fed up with the associated sorrow and grief. Turkish: O, içine kapanık hissediyor ve bu ilişkilendirilen hüzün ve acıdan bıkmış durumdaydı.

[@Brian-fo6ew]

Growing up, I was taught not to be down in the dumps, melancholy, grieve, or be fed up, and need to have a stiff upper lip, so every day, I was repressed.

[@bbclearningenglish]

Nice examples! We'd usually say 'be fed up'

[@Brian-fo6ew]

[@phorgg]

Depression is not a feeling, but a desease / a common mental disorder. Please kindly use that word in a correct context!

[@dalnim3532]

Depression is both.. Some people get depressed due to a long period of sadness and others get it due to health problems

[@miguelangelperez2849]

Sadness is a feeling related to depression , but depression is a disease indeed which has different categories .

[@andreafixes]

That's a very important distinction. 👍🏻 Remember it's spelt "DISEASE". I hope that helps! ⭐

[@thogia5108]

There are so many expressions for the feeling sadness nowadays. The earliest way of describing the sad feeling is the phrase fed up. It is also important to notice that each culture in certain periods have distinctive ways to show sadness. In Victorian time, the British was to be the conquerer so they had to keep the stiff upper lip or in other words put up a brave front. However, this is an unhealthy pratice as it hinders emotion expressions, which later make someone feel repressed.

[@WinWin-od7ho]

Does the answer appear in the newa?

[@nafisanawal1450]

Although I often feel blue, I try to keep a stiff upper lip.I reckon,sometimes it's okay to repress the emotion of feeling down in the dumps😅
