Weeping isn't a sign of substantial weakness, contrary to popular belief. It's your own reaction to your tears that could really make or break you.
Maybe you've watched Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. Near the end, Boromir is dead, and Aragorn faces Legolas and Gimli and lets tears openly run down his cheeks. All the while he was calm and held himself like he knew he was still the leader of their pack. Because he was.
Don't go crying at the drop of a dime, but know that it's an option if the situation calls for it. maybe you're speaking about something you're really passionate about. maybe you've just got news that your mother, father, or cousin have died while you're sitting down at a restaurant table with your girl.
Remember Aragorn. Remember the DHV of willingness to emote. Be unashamed and strong all the while.
Remember though, crying will be perceived as awkward by others.
