We have a lot of articles on crying and I’m surprised we didn’t have a category on it already!

I’m proposing a Crying category, which would be a subcategory of “Managing Sadness and Nostalgia.” The crying category would then have two subcategories.

I have mixed feelings about this. Rather than creating 3 similar category titles, why not condense it into 1, such as “Managing Crying” or “Crying”.

The articles listed under “Pretending to Cry” would be more apt to stay in their existing categories, especially the toddler one.

The “How to Not Cry While Listening to Twenty One Pilots” should actually be in the Music Listening and Appreciation category. The “How to Sing a Sad Song Without Crying” is more desired in the Singing one; “How to Stop Crying” and “How to Stop Yourself from Crying” can be merged with each other; “How to Stop Crying over Your Ex Every Day” can stay where it is, etc

^I agree. Also, one category on crying is the best idea:slight_smile:

That could also work.

i think its good as three categories, and its a lot of work to put them all together like that!can articles show up under multiple categories?

1 month isn’t a bump we need to be worrying about…

Especially on a thread where the issue being discussed has not actually been resolved.

Thank for your concern, but we’ll leave it open for now.
