What makes you cry?

Post Reply New Topic

That's exactly what's happened to me. A person who I considered a best friend just suddenly stopped talking to me, and every-time I asked him why, he just ignored me. It was definitely one of the most heart-wrenching events of my life and it seems to imply I have a curse and I'm still trying to figure out what that curse is.

I had this happen with one friend, but I actually knew why he stopped talking to me because he said so immediately - I'd made a joking reference to something he'd been working on, and this was a huge sore point for him, and in retrospect it should have been obvious to me.

I mean, it's happened more than once, but only a couple of times did anyone tell me why they were mad before cutting me off. In the other occasion, I am still pretty sure that I was in the right, as the friend in question cut me off because I told her I wouldn't answer a deeply personal question at her wedding reception and she insisted that I had humiliated her by doing so.

work anxieties mainly and sometimes depression from anhedonia. offlate its been really hard to motivate myself.

Thinking of growing old with a lover, having her die before me.

Thinking of the girl that absolutely destroyed any semblance of emotions in me, for a very long time. (still growing past that, thanks to newfound love.)

Thinking of how my brother abused me and how angry I am, even now that he's grown up.

Thinking of how religion has held this species back and how frustrating that is. (This is more of a rage that turns into pure sadness for my people. This is also my belief, and I'm not interested in debating here.)

Thinking that even now, I have no friends. No one would love me if I was completely honest with them. They only love what I show them.

I, as an individual, am still so alone.

Death doesn't bother me. Mostly because I've experienced things that lead me to believe that I've lived this life before, and will do so again. And again, and so on. There's no logic or even well founded evidence for this, but I can't shake it.

I had to have my dog put to sleep a year ago. I still cannot so much as say her name without crying. Had her for over half of my life, she was by far the best friend I've ever had. Oh hell, I'm tearing up right now.

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved dog. Sometimes you just have to mourn, there's no set time for how long it can take before you finish...take as long as you need. People who don't like animals won't understand, but that's their problem. They are such loyal companions. My last dog had to be put to sleep more than 20 years ago. I had handraised him since he was born & he got me through a lot of tough stuff in my life from 14-29. He was definitely my best friend too. Still it was tough to watch him as he physically declined...one day, he had a massive convulsion & I couldn't bear to see him got through anything as horrible ever again. Took me 18 years to get another dog. He's softened the loss of my last dog.

Thank you. I don't talk about her to any real-life people, they don't seem to get why it still affects me so much. Your story about your dog sounds exactly the same as mine.

Yeah, I totally understand. When someone says Just get another one....well, it's not quite that simple to replace a bond.

I cry when one of my favorite characters in a movie or TV show get killed.

Some songs make me cry, especially certain religious or patriotic songs (like that tremble... tremble... tremble... song or songs about 9/11).

I cry when people mistreat others because they are different (in ways that they can't help, if you've got pink hair or something like that you are trying to be different so you get no sympathy).

I cry for the children that are born in poverty in Africa and places like that and the tens of millions lost to abortion. (I'm not making a political stance here, so please don't give me crap about this. The question was "what makes you cry?" I'm just answering honestly.)

In general, people killing or abusing others.

A lot of things listed above make me feel sad and sickend -abuse of all kinds, human stupidity and arrogance, animal cruelty of any kind, etc. But these things rarely cause tears. I watched footage of the Indonesian tsunami, hurricane Katrina, wars and carnage, death of loved ones (except my pets, who I've cried buckets over), Fukishima, and those around me are weeping and I just sit there and watch and feel an unhappy feeling inside.

Things that bring actual tears are reading something beautiful aloud, unexpected views of a lovely natural thing or being, certain music at certain times, frustration, and existential angst.

Getting yelled at makes me cry. Also, when I'm having one of my sadness spells over not having a father (how lame is that).

I'm not sure about what you mean, but being sad about that is not lame at all. I hope you do have a strong male figure in your life. We all need one. Growing up with out two strong opposite role models makes for problems all through life. If you don't have one you should find one.

I rarely cry over movies, tv shows or anything that I am not affected by personally. I do cry when I am rejected by a friend, when a friendship with someone changes, or when I am depressed and thinking too much about things.

- Sad songs, shows, movies and video games
- Becoming really frustrated when something doesn't work out after trying several times over, especially when pressed for time to complete something
- Thinking of family members that I have lost suddenly in the last few years

If I feel really nostalgic, sometimes I really feel like crying.

Wanna know what makes me cry? Knowing that no matter how hard I try to suceed in life, my best is never good enough.
