Do you ever cry?

Post Reply New Topic

Last time I ever cried was few few months ago. A near-meltdown because some 5th grader said I'm not allowed to join the others in a certain visit FOR NO REASON and refuses to give a reason.
I was so tempted to yell at her because of that, and I kept stopping myself until the pressure is bringing me to a meltdown.

I hate it when people never gave me a reason. I would rather hear them telling me that they don't like me because I'm a crap than just refusing me for no reason.

Overall, I rarely do thankfully.

Not often, and certainly not in response to the usual events which would induce an emotional response. When I do cry, it's often because someone has greatly misunderstood something I've said. I'm not exactly sure as to why I dislike that so much.

Lots of things can make me turn on the waterworks. I even tear up when I see videos of adorable, tiny helpless baby animals being cared for by their mother, adoptive mother, or father (I even saw a male duck letting some orphaned kittens snuggle under him for warmth) I think it's like when people cry at weddings and things that they find incredibly beautiful. Except I don't cry at weddings. But it's kind of weird and most people don't know I do this and would be surprised at my being such a softie.

Hardly, however the last time I cried, I got told off by my family for crying. My mom and my sister both believe in stereotypes associated with males, so they told me off for crying.

Not only do I not like crying, it also makes me cringe to see and hear someone crying, and that happens a lot in AA & NA groups when people are telling their sad story. Sorry, but I've been stoic forever. They didn't call me Mr. Spock for nothing. When someone starts crying I'm ready to bolt out the door. Same thing if they do it on TV. I guess I can use a little sensitivity training.

I cried alot when I was depressed but I seldom cried sense.

Not really. Literally twice in the last ~8 years. I get extremely depressed quite frequently, but I never actually cry.
