Is it normal to cry in public?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to cry in public. Strong feelings don’t always wait until you’re somewhere private, and plenty of people have teared up around others.
Crying is a normal response to things like stress, grief, frustration, joy, or just being overwhelmed. Sometimes it catches you by surprise, right there on the bus or in the grocery store, because feelings are famously bad at checking the schedule.
Some people feel awkward about crying where others can see, while others see it as nothing to hide. You don’t owe anyone an explanation; if you want privacy, it’s fine to step away, and if you don’t, that’s fine too.
