How often do you cry?

haha. I wasn't even gonna waste my time on that one. funny stuff.

 

Have not cried in over 10 years I think. I can relate to Sig's posts in this thread so far except I also don't even feel like I locked it down at certain moments. I don't want to cry of course but it certainly doesn't feel as keeping tough or blocking things either. I just didn't cry. I think it's pretty normal not to cry (and crying often also naturally) and not a big deal in my case at least, and neither will it be when I will go cry again (the reason why might be though ).

 

I don't think I have cried properly in about a decade or so. I do shed a few tears when I watch films such as 'Marley and Me' or TV shows such as 'Undercover Boss' or 'Secret Millionaire'. But it's only a couple of tears not really crying my little heart out. I might cry at my parents funeral.

 

Awww... that's so sweet.

 

I hate crying, it makes my eyes seriously puffy the next day. I get anxiety attacks sometimes and cry but right now I can't remember the last time I cried. Well, I shed a few happy tears last week but those don't count.

 

I don't for me if it's not someone dying or some other really bad thing I think for me crying is just a hormonal thing for me and at the same time to relief stress and anxiety. I just do it and it's over with and I'm energized pretty much afterwards.

 

Why doesn't it count?

 

I personally meant all crying when I started the thread... I mean there is all kinds of crying- the obvious when you're sad or what ever but happy crying and crying from being in intense pain and others..but that's just me. if I tear up a lil but don't actually cry for any reason I don't count that though for myself ...

 

I cry because I am emo.

 

I dunno, in my head there is a difference between crying and shedding a few tears. Crying is more uncontrollable. Plus I assumed this thread was about sad tears.

 

I don't know- I didn't over think it... just meant-crying.

Not necc. sad crying only..
but yea for "happy crying" you can shred a tear or two and that's it and you may not consider that crying...but there is also being so overwhelmed with positive emotions that you actually cry (more than a couple tears), so I suppose it can just depend..

 

I think I might have cried tears of joy when I got my ZX Spectrum for Christmas. It was supposed to be for me AND my brother - but I knew it was ALL MINE :2thumbsup:

 

Agh, I see. I know what you mean. I assumed it was the sad kind of tears, too.

 

Touché

 

That'll do it:bigcry:

Speaking of which, I cried like a baby when my dog died a few weeks ago. I don't cry at funerals, for some reason. I don't even think I cried when my grandmother died, even though her and I were very close.

 

For crying out of actual sadness....I would say I rarely cry.
For crying (getting teary, not all out bawling) because of something sentimental...I do this too often! Any of the "Dear Photograph" images that speak to the loss of a loved one...gets me crying every time...I cry at the sentimental parts of movies....especially Disney movies....its ridiculous. I can't read anything sentimental/emotional about children/parenthood without getting teary.

My 6 year old son seems to have gotten this from me....when we saw Brave we both got all misty eyed at the sentimental bits near the end....same when we recently watched Epic. I'm happy that he is sentimental and able to empathize.

 

I'm a bit of a soppy bastard. Any beautiful moments get me choking up, my manliness hates it, but it feels so good.. this warmth just swells up inside me until my eyeballs wet themselves. Never happened until my first date with Lucy and she had me bawling in ecstasy.

I don't really cry in sorrow, at least I haven't since I was a kid.

 

Crikey, it was only a joke. My brother wasn't into computers - so played a few games now and then, and then got bored with it. :computer:

 

I cried a bit the other night when I watched the season 3 finale of Shameless... Their finales get me every fn time!

 

if I am going through a particularly stressful time, I can cry daily.. If not it can be a while between cries. I would say on average maybe 2-5 times a month.
