Not really. I was an easy crier as a little girl. As a grown woman, I'm considered cool, calm and collected. I rarely cry, but when I do, I cry in private. If I start crying, I won't be able to stop, and that's the last thing I want to go through in public.
The last time I cried in public was five days after my baby was born, and I was severely sleep deprived. I had to take my newborn into the hospital and stay with him for several days while he got phototherapy for his jaundice. The resident doctor insisted that I would have to take him out from under the lights to breastfeed him for ten minutes every hour around the clock. This was upsetting to me because I knew ten minutes would not be enough for him, he would cry, and then when he finally got settled down, I would be picking him up again to begin the process over again. He would be constantly crying. Plus I would get no sleep. I didn't see how I could do it. I may have gone over the edge into postpartum depression if not for the much more sensible and compassionate nurse who came on duty a couple hours later to put me on a saner schedule. I think even an INTP or an INTJ may possibly have cried under those circumstances. Or maybe not. Maybe the INTJ would have told the doctor to f*ck off, and the INTP would have argued logically with the doctor.
