I'm an incredibly emotional person. I bawled my eyes out two days before the wedding because it was all so surreal that it was actually happening. I didn't cry at my wedding. I was too busy being social to get very emotional...our officiant (a good friend) actually did cry. lol. I cry at friggin' Make-A-Wish commercials. Certain songs make me cry...I'm not ashamed of it. Last time I cried was a few hours ago, looking at pictures of a friend who passed away. I don't shed tears for her much these days, it's been a long time, but they decided to come today.
I haven't actually sobbed since '73 when my doggy died. There is a commercial on TV now that I watched ALL the way through one time about mistreated animals and it made tears come for sure. I just can't watch it any more. And commercials with children that need food or medical help. Anyone that thinks it's unmanly to feel deep emotion and find it expressed in finding oneself with wet eyes is surely constrained by learned behaviour. Macho bullshit will rot your insides and keep you from becoming fully human,IMO.
I cry every few months or so. It depends if I am going through some bad times. My old cat died in Nov. And I couldn't talk about her without crying for months. My son graduated grade 8 last week and I had tears of pride.
Not as often as I used too. when it's my time of the month I get more upset easily around that time and that's when I cry, sometimes my mom will makes comments that upset me and then I will go in the bathroom and have myself a cry once I'm done I will dry my eyes then put some makeup on and pretend that things are fine. Sometimes I need to let it out in private then I feel a little bit better
Movies and tv commercials are subject to tear me up. When 4 of my beloved cats died between 10/1/11 and 4/16/12, I guess I cried buckets of tears. Aside from being a basket case for a while, to this day, I am subject to get one of them (or more) on my mind...and before I know it my cheeks are wet. And that ^ not crying in front of people is me to a tee. I don't share my pain well. I've worn paths in the yard walking with my tears.
I'll tear up occasionally over something really joyful or inspiring, or something that has to do with animals suffering. People I don't really cry over. Although a couple of my ex gf's have fucked me up that way. I mean outright fucking crying. Alone of course. But now I'm just straight up numb when it comes to human bonds.
I don't cry as often as I used to. I used to make it a point to listen to really sad music every few weeks and just sit in my room and cry for a while. It was a therapeutic release. This may be tmi but I haven't had my period since before I had a baby and my baby is almost 9 months now so I don't really get overemotional once a month anymore. I don't really feel the need to have that release anymore. I did actually shed a few tears earlier but that was more out of frustration which isn't the same as crying from sadness or as an emotional release.
I really have no clue, I know breastfeeding can delay it but I've never heard of it delaying it this long. I should probably see a doctor but I don't exactly see it as a problem lol. It's been really nice talking about my period with you deviate
