The topic of ‘Crying’

[LadyEmeraude]

Some people are comfortable with crying and shedding their tears. While some people are not.

Myself, I am comfortable with crying, when I am moved to do so~

I'm not at all comfortable crying in front of people, if I'm at the movies and a scene gets sad I'll be sitting there trying to make my eyes somehow bigger so the tears will dry without dropping. Not always successful.

I hate to cry altho' sometimes it's unavoidable.

I'm OK with it as long as it's not in baseball.

i try not to cry in front of others but i do cry alone when it's necessary. sometimes i can't control the crying in public. when i had pneumonia i cried in the hospital because i felt so miserable and i was scared.

i've noticed i am more weepy with age. something stupid on tv can make me cry. lol!

I cry at the oddest times. Some time, some things that should make me cry, don't, and things that other people aren't crying about, do.

When I really get going, I can cry for hours. On 9/11, for instance, when I got home and started watching TV, I cried until I thought I didn't have a drop of liquid in my body.

When Nik Wallenda walked over the Grand Canyon on a high wire, I cried the whole time. The Spousal Equivalent thought I was nuts.....but then he mists up when those animal charities ads come on TV with the sad-looking dogs, so I don't think he has anything to chide me about....y'know?

Music makes me cry. Movies make me cry. I don't cry at funerals.

I rarely cry and when I do it hits me out of the blue and I have to ask myself why "that" made me cry. This poem is one of the things that recently made me cry, and I know why.

I love to cry, but since I've been on antidepressants (a long time) I rarely do. The way I usually cry is at something in a sad movie, like the end of Camelot, so when I feel like I'm all bottled up I just watch a movie that always does it for me.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I can feel sadness way down deep but I find it very hard to cry anymore. I wish I could - it helps get it out. A certain line in a movie can make my eyes well up to overflowing, but maybe because I know it's just a story and I don't feel overwhelmed by it the same way as I do a real life event.

Yes and I teared up pretty good this morning, watching a Hudson & Rex episode, when Rex pulled the cover from a memorial at the end of the show. I wouldn’t have been so inclined had a human removed the cover———

I had a friend share with me that she has only cried once in her lifetime not to include when she was a child 12 years old and under.

She feels it is giving in to weakness to cry.
We chatted, we shared. She asked about an old friend of ours from in our 30’s. I let her know she has passed. It hit her hard, and as we sat having
our coffee at a coffee shop, she cried, continued to cry and excused herself to use the restroom.
She said it all had been penned up inside her for
many years. Then we exchanged a caring hug.

I'm a wimp. I get teary eyed at most sad things, especially the loss of a loved one.
Movies, pics of babies. This girl needs her estrogen back...lol

I am mostly a pragmatic individual and don’t cry, however, the only thing that brings instant tears is see animals suffering, being abused, animals sick. I just lose it then. The other day, by chance, I clicked on a song about a pet who died – I think it was called “Let me be the one that cries?”. I completely broke down –couldn't even watch it all.

I hardly ever cry, but when I do it's in private.

 

[Coco]

I was taught not to cry. It's a sign of weakness and lack of control. My Dad would say Stop that crying or I'll give you something to cry about! Often I feel like if i start crying i wouldn't be able to stop.

 

[RedAlert76]

Crying is a release from pent up emotions. Most people feel better after a cry. Laughing is good for the soul, so is crying.

Same here. The only times I've cried was after the daughters death, and every time I've held and hugged one of my fur babies while they get the life ending needle. Usually, I'll have to pull over whenever I look over at there little bodies because I can't see the road through the tears.

 

[feywon]

I don't cry very easily but feel no need or obligation to hide it when i do.
I did have an awful few years in the 90s when health and environmental issues that impacted my breathing made crying scary for me. A few silent tears were innocuous but an extended full crying would be cut short by a coughing fit that felt like my breathing was compromised.

Those factors were resolved long ago, yet sometimes i feel the need to cry but tears won't come. Usually i find a movie that i know will induce tears, and get relief.

Yesterday I was on the verge of tears most of the day after finding out that my youngest cousin has been placed in a care home. She has always been my baby cousin, because I was 10 when she was born and I loved her from day one. Shes only 75.
