How Often Do You Cry?

[serenesam]

When was the last time you cried? How often do you cry? If you have never cried, why do you think that is the case? If you have cried, what do you think you are/were feeling? If something were to happen in the future, what do you think would make you cry? If you have never cried, have you ever had at least a tear come out of your eye?

That is a lot of questions. I cry quite frequently, but rarely in front of people. I tend to keep all my emotions to myself (which is quite a self-destructive habit), so they tend to come out when I'm alone and out of earshot from everyone. Sometimes I cry in bed late at night, or when nobody else is home. When I cry it's usually because I'm never good enough for myself, or because I miss someone that I might never see again. I don't have a lot of close friends, so when I have to leave one of them (permanently), it's quite hard. Also I was borderline anorexic and mildly depressed (I'm in the process of recovery right now), and so that caused a lot of crying. It didn't cause crying directly, but it lowered my overall mood. Except when I was most depressed. There was a few times I remember not feeling anything. I couldn't cry and I couldn't smile.

i cry from time to time but never in front of people. i get sudden bouts of depression sometimes, and when i do end up crying, its usually a result of accumulated crap.
accumulated crap is a combination of:
1-me feeling depressed whenever im reminded of how ignorant i am about a lot of things
2-me getting really excited about sth(eg. a book, film, a topic, whatever) but knowing i cant share my thoughts about it with people around me
3-me feeling dumb when i get lonely as a result of deliberately isolating myself from people

I cry when I'm extremely disappointed, if I'm slapped in the face with adversity while physically exhausted, and/or if I go too long being forced to live in the world of the present. Overall, I'd say I cry an average of 5 times a year. But this statistic comes with my apparently anomalous lack of anger fits/temper-tantrums.

I went through a phase where I cried quite often. Just little things would bring a tear to my eye. Nowadays I rarely ever cry, though I wish I could. Sometimes I need a good, cleansing, cry, but it's as if my tear ducts have been buried with my emotions and I'm left with dry eyes and a solemn face often know as "resting bitch face". Perhaps it's an INTP thing, perhaps I'm emotionally stunted.

This last year I´ve cried a lot, considering that I´ve not cried since my teens and this time for silly emotional reasons, and also for the time, money and theories discarded and wasted T_T
The funny thing is that I wouldn´t have cried if never question myself if there was something else besides the emptiness of my existence becoming increasingly evident.
On logical bases I was supossed to be death and I couln´t arrive to any other conclusion.
The exit of course wasn´t logical.

Once a year. When I end up in particularly deep(and new) self reflection... it quickly passes. I like to see them as tears of acceptance more than anything else.

This caught my interest because I had a minor mental breakdown today and was sobbing. That doesn't normally happen. I cry about three times a year, and never out of physical pain. Mostly, it's when something is so unjust that I cannot take it anymore. Often times it doesn't even matter how important the issue is. If it's not fair, I lose it. Not in the childish way either, like you may think when you hear those words. Or perhaps it is a little childish. I have a hard time expressing my issues to people so when something goes unchecked for too long it just builds up until I can't take it anymore. Obviously I'm not the most mature human being, but hey, I'm only 16, I've got time. Provided I don't die soon from unforeseen reasons

Tears? Tears, it's okay to send them overflowing

More often recently due to high level of stress and impending graduation, but I can never explain why I'm feeling the way I'm feeling. I don't feel immediate emotions generally, though. Whenever I was reprimanded by my mom as a child, she told me that I never displayed any external response and that it wasn't "normal". I think I've found a perfect balance since then and letting the tears take over from time to time. It's such a strange occurrence when it does happen, though. I never can really prepare for them because they're always so sudden and come out of nowhere.

not sure how many years ago it was. i find it very hard to cry. i get tears in my eyes rarely but i fight it hard.

Pfft. Cool people do not cry.

Joke aside....
Crying. Hm...
The last time I cry was 3-5 years ago if I remmeber. Cause by a dull evenement.
Usually I do not weep or sob at anything even if I have sometime the urge to cry , due to unknown depressive episode that occur sometime. Maybe it's because of my natural stoicism. I would said that evenement or scene that make emphasis on despair, true annihilation and impossibility have more probability to make me cry. Not because it's sad, but how beautiful is the way that the main protagonist defy all probability of failing. Over dramatic scene reach me.
This is a good exemple.

I pretty much only cry when severly physically injured. The last time I cried due to emotion was when my grandfather died.

 

[J-man]

I cry without leaking tears sometimes. It's legit crying but the fluid just doesn't come out. That happened today. I think it's a man thing, what with men being superior to non-men.

I like feeling sadness. I don't like feeling fear.

Whenever I try to trim my nose hairs. Every. Goddamn. Time.

Also, occasionally from cutting onions.

Also, when I'm sleep deprived and trying to keep my eyes open.

That is all.

What you are describing is not crying, it is simply the reckless extraction of eye juices, of the kind utilized by the ancient Egyptians for gradual mummification.

Honestly, I cant remember when I last cried.
Probably years......which makes me either a very brave bugger or a village grade psychopath.
Either title works to keep the preachers at bay.

Grew up not crying.
Early 20s, tried to make self cry/unprogramming my own anti-cry setup as intended to Act.
Cried in few movies, music+scenes = , more and more.
INFJ GF at 26, I was crying more than her at one point, lol, dealing with some past history though.
Not crying much in the past ooo 2 months. So hopefully past that excess.

I watch dog owner returns or good people deeds or something on youtube.
Exercise emotions kinda thing.

I can cry at a lot of things.
I also used to be "severely cold" growing up. Pretty much just detatched and numb from childhood. Not tried to "turn back off" yet. Still stabilising my F.

i agree with J-man: Actually liking the feeling sadness, would of not expected that in my life, EVER. That's personal growth for you though.

Bad days when nothing goes right, thinking about life without my pets or family, reading the world news and seeing injustice, and when I watch saddddd moviesssss

 

[dare_mo]

Few times a year when my emotions decide to kick on for about 5 minutes.

 

[Fled]

Yesterday, too much stress duh.

 

[Nihilmatic]

When I'm on my period.














jk I'm a boy.

Very very rarely . Maybe like once every two years if that? But when I do it's like being hit with a wrecking ball of suppressed emotions and it'll last for a hour or two at least . Also every other emotion is experienced between the crying marathon it's like a roller coaster .
