Now if you are crying because you are depressed or dealing with trauma, seek help. Share your feelings with people who care and can help you. If you don't want to look weak consider that asking for help takes strength, it's definitely not weakness.
On the other hand if you are pretending you cried so YOU can be the center of attention when people are experiencing real tragedies all around you then you are pathetic. That's all. It's pathetic to brag about it - especially when it probably never happened - to seek praise. Which is what Stelter was doing. Do you really believe he was curled up crying in sadness because - Darn it! - he just is so sad for the world? No. He wants to be the story. In fact he said just that, journalists are part of the story is what he said. He thought he would be lauded for being so empathetic and compassionate. The purest example of contrived virtue signaling I've ever seen. And it worked, his fellow journalists hailed him as a hero of the crisis. Right.
