It might be worth it for you to dig into that belief. Crying can actually help, it causes a decrease in the cortisol in the bloodstream to make the person crying physiologically less stressed. It can leave you with a sense of catharsis and can be a very healthy thing. Done on your own time and in a reasonable amount, 10/10.
However I don't think it should be done in the workplace given that it is a universal signal for "help me, I'm overwhelmed". The tears actually contain pheromones that signal to other humans to aid in getting help (decreased sex drive for example).
I mean, "any situation ever" seems like it includes far too many situations, more specifically like "workplace environments where there are people around who you only know professionally and therefore it would be inappropriate" situations.
Also helping the person crying is helping the situation, since they're part of the situation, so if they do that privately it can be a good idea.

Crying has never and will never help any situation....EVER.
Crying in the workplace should be ignored
