Do You Cry Easily?

I don't really start blubbering, but I will tear up if I see something happy or sad. I can tear up at a commercial, like the ones for the Humane Society, or even a game show, when someone wins. If I watch the show Undercover Boss, and at the end the boss gives a lot of money or help to a needy employee, I can tear up at that. Whether I'm at home or in a movie theater, I can't hold back my tears if something moves me.

Even as a child I used to watch Queen for a Day with my mother before I started school, and I would always get emotional. She was a kind person, but did not tear up like that for those things. Very sympathetic and empathetic...sometimes it's a curse, lol.

How about you? Do you cry easily, or are you usually dry eyed?
 

Sometimes yes, it just depends. Undercover boss, when I've watched it yes, I avoid certain movies at the theater for this reason, I don't like to become misty in public, though occasionally it's unavoidable.
 
I used to cry easily (all my life) but I haven't been like that in several years. When my husband was taking Lupron shots he cried a lot. He would cry when he was just trying to tell someone something he had done or any story about fishing or working on a car or whatever. He is very talkative and he'd have to stop and try to get himself under control in order to continue. After he stopped the shots (They made his legs hurt) it took about a year and a half for him to get back to normal.
 

My mother's mantra was, "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about."

No, I do not cry easily.
If I want to cry but can't let go, I sing Ye Banks and Braes, which is melancholy enough to do the trick, but I must be alone to cry most of the time.
 
Interesting about the shots Linda, I don't know anything about Lupron but it certainly sounds like it has an emotional effect on the user. Glad he was able to stop taking them. Warri, that was my mother's mantra too, only that was a different kind of crying than I was talking about. I don't know how many times she said that to me during my childhood, but it worked, I turned off the waterworks pretty quickly. :yes:
 
I cry easily watching anything happy or sad. I hate doing that at the cinema and make sure I have lots of Kleenex. There are movies I've seen a zillion times and still cry when I watch them.
 
As a child I cried over everything which made me appear weak, so everybody picked on me and made my life hell. Now I keep myself to myself. I may feel like crying but I never cry in public. Sometimes I cry in private but mostly when I feel like crying I'll whip out a notebook, write down why I want to cry, and what I can do to solve whatever problems I have making me weepy. This makes me feel better and I solve a lot of problems this way too.
 
Has anyone cried while reading a book? I blubbered like a baby while reading the final scenes in The Book Thief.
 
I cry almost every time I look out the window and see more snow piling on the already existing snow...
 
A lot of things make me 'sniff'...many books; even though I have read them before; especially Joanna Trollope and Maeve Binchy.
also TV; the worst is probably Extreme Makeover, Home Edition.
i watch very few films; good job really!
 
Of course I have a shower, I just don't use it.
I'm a soak-in the-bath kind of girl.
In the bath you either read or listen to the radio.
Singing is inappropriate.
 
My singing is so bad I won't sing unless I'm alone and have music playing louder than my singing. Then I sound good. :D
 
I cry very easily most of the time. And both sad things and very happy can do it to me.

Many years ago, I was at a horse show and a horse that I knew was being celebrated in the ring at his retirement. He was incredibly beautiful as they went through the ceremony of removing his saddle and bridle and his young rider who'd had him since she was a little girl and won many accolades with his assistance, leaned her head against his silky neck to hide her own tears before setting him loose in the ring to run free and unfettered before his adoring fans. He was so lovely and I was not alone with tears streaming as he circled again and again, head and tail held high to thunderous applause. To this day I cannot talk about it and even now, just typing this little paragraph, I'm sniffling and wiping away the tears from my cheeks.

Yes I'd say that I'm totally done in by joy or sorrow! And now, I'll go and find the box of tissue.
 
There's something about water running that makes me want to sing -- and the shower or bath is a good place to cry if I want to. I find crying is very cathartic -- at a funeral, after a good cry, everyone eats lunch and talks to each other and feels a bit better.

That story brought a tear to my eye. :)
 
No, I don't cry easy. Sometimes something patriotic or National Anthem will make me tear up. I hardest I cried in years is when we lost our Shih Tzu sassy. I took her to have put down and held it together in the Vets office but lost it when I left. I think i cried most of that day. :cry:.
