How often do you cry?

I think I haven't cried in 3 years. Is that uncommon?

 

I've gone for chunks of years without crying.

I've also had weeks where I cried every day

and I usually have to try to cry when I do, so, I dunno if it's being totally honest with myself when I DO, but sometimes it feels good, so it's worth it

no, it's not weird.

 

i usually go a very long time without crying

but sometimes i get choked up about certain things.

i think the last time was close to a year ago now. some documentary about the khmer rouge got the waterworks runnin

 

I just cried today. I cry a lot lately... pregnancy hormones..

Is it uncommon for you to go that long without crying?

 

I was starting to think I was not normal because I've only cried twice in the last three years...

The first time, me and my friends were drinking, and I guess my friend had taken tyenol and benadrill like 20 mintues before she came over, and we drank 2 bottles of vodka between 3 of us.. so she got alcohol poisoning. we knew.. like she was passed out threw up so much she was dry heaving, eyes in the back of her head. we called 911, and cops and ambulances came and took her on a stretcher.. so then...

and the second time my good friend was having a party.. and like it was a huge party. And the drinking age is 21 everyone was 17-21 and they took him away in handcuffs..and i was drunk and I felt so bad for him.. so then.

ahhahaa. but other then those two times, I never cry.

 

I don't know, I was an emotional kid. I guess I just cooled down at some point.

 

dude, things guys cry about, there needs to be a book written

the last thing I cried about was the rising victorious music when the rohirrim arrived at helms deep,

chicks don't cry at that kinda stuff (yes, I cry about documentaries too)

 

Wow.

 

i cry a lot...i think its healthy

 

I always end up choking if i cry, it sucks so i dont do it often.

 

it's been about 18ish years since i've actually cried. lately though i've been able to get choked up by an occasional song, or movie, etc. and once not too long ago, i actually had my eyes tear up and one or two tears run down my cheek. so i'm getting slowly closer...

 

Tearing is a far as i go with out feeling like a stupid retard, after tearing it is all spluttering, choking and a red face... not cool.

 

I cried today. which was a bit of a rarity I must say.

 

let ur feelings flow out...it feels soooo good. lol

 

I'm the worst comforter when people cry. It's so awkward and people look so ugly doing it. I'm always thinking like "Okay.. It's like a seizure, it should end soon. Soon.."

 

this wasn't just any documentary, but its not the first that made me cry.

i was always interested in history in school, but our curriculum didn't cover this topic. i knew the term, but didnt know the story.

are you familiar with it?

the khmer rouge was a communist party which ruled cambodia for 4 years in the 70s.

the ENTIRE population was put into labor camps. every family was split up, to keep children from being influenced by capitalist parents. torture and indoctrination was business as usual. in the four years, they managed to more than decimate the population of the country...20% of the population was killed through torture, execution, or starvation.

though the numbers were smaller, i'd argue that the attrocities were as bad, if not worse, than nazi war crimes in WWII and before.

and far, far less has been done in regards to the perpetrators of these attrocities than those in germany

like i said, i knew the phrase "khmer rouge" and knew vaguely that it had something to do with a communist regime in southeast asia....

but i didnt know what it WAS.

and when i found out...i think i sobbed for about a half an hour. i just fell to pieces

 

Not since I was maybe 9 or 10.

 

I cry when I am extremely pissed off, seeing people or animals suffer makes me cry....and sometimes I have a bit of a pity party during bouts of depression.

Oh and sometimes one of my eyes leaks just for the hell of it. So I can't really say how much I cry.

 

I cry when I laugh, I cry when I am really happy, I cry when I am down,I cry from hormones, i cry a freaking lot...and its weird. I will cry over things that I shouldn't and not cry over stuff you would think would put anyone in tears.
I went through a stage as a teen where I didn't cry for like a year, or two. ..but otherwise I am a crier.
I was a total "cry baby" as a kid ,too.

 

my eyes water like crazy when i yawn... i don't know how many times people have asked me why i'm crying when i'm actually just tired or bored.
