    I cry when i hear of others extreme suffering, and i cry a lot when people are unexpectedly kind to me...Meaningful stuff makes me cry

    When im personally sad im more likely to just mope and wallow and write my feelings down

    Wow. This thread now makes me want to rent a movie or read a book and have a good cry. Or umm, I could just cry because I only have $20 in my bank account.

    I don't cry often. It takes something very moving to bring me to tears. Some moments I remember absolutely losing it would have to be when my grandmother died when I was little, when a dear friend died just a few years later, when the love of my life and I split up, and when I saw my grandfather laying in the hospital in intensive care covered in tubes.

    Those few times I couldn't stop the tears from coming and occasionally, I will hear or see something that brings back those memories and that will bring me to tears once again.

    I have occasionally gotten "misty eyed" over hearing a certain song on the radio, but I would say it was more the thoughts that the song provoked rather than the song itself, that made me get emotional. Usually it would be a certain love song that would remind me of a loved one and the times we shared.

    Just....certain things make me cry. Generally, I am pretty strong willed though.

    I don't cry that often. I have to be extremely angry, stressed, and/or sad.

    here's an example. right this fucking minute, i should be sad. instead, i'm INCREDIBLY angry. that's how it goes. when i'm overwhelmed by beauty, i dance and laugh. crying just gives me a runny nose and a headache. i hate that.

    Yeah, I get that too. The worst for me, is when I cry I get a puffed red line just above my eyelashes. It stays for a couple of hours and I look like I'm on drugs.

    Lately I've been crying over the smallest things, it's stupid really. But generally, it takes a lot to make me cry. I'm more likely to scream and break things.

    I used to cry a lot more. But I also used to be depressed a lot more. But then I realized that there's no point in being sad all the time and I like having fun a lot more. Now I rarely cry. I think the last time I cried was in August when all my really good friends were leaving town for college.

    Usually, I don't cry when I watch movies or listen to songs. Occasionally, and quite rarely, there's a song, film scene or paragraph in a book that make me truly cry, unexpectedly.

    I cry several times a year, but it often varies.... can't be nailed down to a time frame.

    Certain things move me and I can't help but cry a little. Mostly I cry when I feel depressed, which is a lot of the time (but I don't cry every time I feel depressed).

    I don't think it makes you weak. It keeps you in touch with and helps you manage your emotions.

    Usually, I don't cry when I'm upset.

    I guess I cry maybe once every few months or so. The last time I did was maybe a week ago. Just over being tired of a lot of things.
