I cry easily, but as I said, it can be from happy or sad things. I've never felt the need to distance myself from the world....hugs.

I did tear up upon finding the "This Is Not A Drill" poem I discovered while sorting through stuff and then posted here and read to my son. I tear up watching 83 Charlie Mopic.
But, tears of joy also appear when seeing children or animals enjoying themselves.
Although given that, I never really cry. Years ago in my veterans group I said that if I start crying I'm afraid it won't stop. I realize crying is healthy but sobbing uncontrollably I prefer to avoid at all cost.

No.
When I was a little girl, if I ever cried, I was told,
"Stop crying. , You come from a lot tougher stock than that!"
i was taught it was a weakness.

You do know now it's not a weakness, don't you?

Yes! I cry a lot. So many things bring tears to my eyes. Sometimes Happy tears and many many times Sad tears. I'll give you an example. When I was in 8th grade I had to bring something to a teacher I had in 1st grade. I knocked on the classroom door and a little girl opened it to let me inside. As soon as the teacher saw me she said: "Get out the buckets". She remembered me from all those years before and she knew how easily I cried.

My paternal grandfather was known for his crying, AND a very strong mind, quick temper, and dominant personality, so your have to say the link between crying and weakness some mentioned isn't so straightforward.
My father I never saw cry at all, and in the whole of his adult life I'm told by my eldest sibling, who may have witnessed this, he cried at the funeral of his best school mate aged forty, and (she said she'd been told), the death of his first born child at five minutes of age. He was very strong too, though whether stronger in his mind than grandad I don't know, though I guess he must have seen showing emotion as a weakness.
(I'm a blubber, but mainly on happy occasions, though some funerals too)

I was never one to cry much at all. But as I've gotten older I'll often puddle up with grateful tears. I'm not saying life is perfect for me but my focus has changed I guess, and my priorities maybe.
I know many in here don't want to read this but I have to be honest...God is just being so good to me and I'm on a natural high every time I think about how grateful I am for his love. I either sing praises, dance, or cry grateful tears. I know it sounds silly to some but I'm sincere.
