What to say when someone asks if you’re crying

What to say when people ask if you're crying

If you are having a really bad day it can be challenging to hold back the tears in public. Even though it isn’t a crime to cry in public, it can be embarrassing when you start blubbering away in front of people on the bus or at work.

I remember when my dog Poochie passed away, I was feeling so sad and emotional. I heard a sad song on my iPod and I could not stop crying on public transport. I was trying to wipe my eyes, it was embarrassing but I was so truly gut-wrenchingly sad.

If somebody asks if you’re crying and if you are OK, use one of our fun comebacks below to hold yourself together.
