Here’s an awkward confession(承认): I’ve cried at every job I’ve had. I always find it difficult to ___21___ my emotions. And each time I’ve ___22___ exactly why these emotional moments are considered so taboo (忌讳的). Is it a universal truth that you just can’t cry ___23___ ?
As someone put it on the internet, as professional women, we’re dealing with the great expectation to “be ___24___ in the pursuit(追求) of what sets your goal on fire” while also making enough money to pay rent. ___25___ , my eyes get a little watery just thinking about it. So if crying at work is unavoidable- yet taboo – what is an ambitious young woman to do to ___26___ after one of these embarrassing incidents?
My usual routine after an in-office ___27___ is to remove my contact lenses（隐形眼镜）, have a massive iced-coffee, and ___28___ it never happened (until it happens again). Clearly, I’m no expert on the ___29___ professional response. So I spoke with my personal finance coach, Ashley Feinstein Gerstley, to see if she had any ____30____ for reducing the humiliation (丢脸).
“It’s so ____31____, but telling yourself not to cry usually ____32____ making you cry more,” she says. “You’re using all your energy to hold it together, trying to ____33____ an awkward situation, but there’s so much pressure that the ____34____ will almost unavoidably come. ____35____ tend to over-apologize, especially at work. If you do end up getting upset, it can be helpful to ____36____ yourself from the situation. Take a minute to get it together, and come back ready to have a more composed (镇静的)exchange.”
Maybe there’s some ____37____ in crying. I’ve definitely found that _____38_____the taboo can lead to greater relationships with ____39____. I’ve noticed how tears have helped solve a disconnection or problem that might____40____have gone unsolved. To be honest, I’m hoping to recognize, if not celebrate, the rare office cry as a hidden skill for greater future.
