Yeah kinda. But in the sense that having control over your emotions is strong and not being able to control them is weak. That does mean you are weak when you cry in public, but that is kinda the point of crying. Its a way to communicate to others that you need help or support or comfort or something. It also means that you are weak when you are unable to control your anger and punch someone in the face when you don't get your way. It also means that you are strong when you take time to talk about your emotions, since that helps you be in control of them.

Control does not mean suppress, it actual means control. Know when to show them, use them, hide them, the whole shebang. It's not an easy skill to master, so if you do, you're definitely strong.
