Note that, this article is only to be used, in case the need presents itself to old back tears as explained in the first paragraph e.g. to escape being called a weak fellow when you are unable to cope with some challenges.

The following tips will bail you out:

Breathe steadily.

Pinch yourself.

Slightly pinch yourself to call out the pain impulse which will help you not to cry at the wrong moment. You can as well try to bite your lips or tongue.

Divert your thoughts and attentions.

You need to divert to something more interesting, or nurture something pleasant. For instance, you’ve been heart-broken. Divert from thinking about the memories you shared with your ex to more meaningful things.
