Do you cry?

I haven't cried in several years, even when I am really depressed. Of course guys aren't supposed to cry. but sometimes I just want to curl up in a ball and ball like a baby.

But that rarely happens too.

:shrug:

just doesn't happen

Some folks cry more than others. Crying is not a moral or immoral action.

I just think it's weird that I don't cry.

Do you feel like you need to cry? Is there a problem with your tear ducts? Some people hardly ever cry.
Not that weird to me. :shrug:

I was thinking about the subject

:hug: :hug:

I do if I get really mad. My mom was a master manipulator and I grew up feeling like most tears are a ploy to make someone feel guilty.

Not ashamed of it at all.

I'm wouldn't be ashamed, I just can't seem to. I think it would be a relief though

It's pretty easy to set me off... I'm rather emotional. Mostly I don't mind.

A freaking television commericial can get the tears running.

Especially when listening to good poetry

Why I stopped drinking (Spanish):

Then I changed meds. I'm more prone now, though it's few and far between. I feel a great sobbing coming within the next few days though.

though it seems odd that the medication should effect whether I cry or not.

Numb you a bit. Sometimes it's a good thing.

But I think it's the Prozac.

lexapro, I still get depressed sometime, and feel like crying, but I don't.

I just punch the wall or something :D

The last time I cried was in 2007 when Lucky Dube died. :(

it's going to be another month or so before I know whether or not a medical issue is going to be serious or not.

Arrrrrrgh!

:cry:

It's a small victory.

It's good to keep the system cleaned out. I wouldn't want sediment build-up in the glands.

I get pretty emotional sometimes, a girl thing mostly, I guess.

Happy and sad stuff. Sometimes it is a problem.

movies, books, songs, reading the news....

I think it's healthy and perfectly normal to cry.

It's sad our society socializes our boys and men to see "keeping it together" as a sign of strength and toughness.

I think it takes a lot of strength to express one's tears and be vulnerable in that way.

What would happen if you allowed yourself to have a good cry?? :shrug: What's holding you back from letting go??

a song will just make me bawl. And it can be one I'm trying to sing along to in the car, in fact that's where it usually happens.

Crying isn't a bad thing, in fact it's a biological thing your body does when it needs to, if you let it.

Kinda like sneezing. It's really not healthy to try to avoid it if it's there.

I took TM's car and was listening to Rascal Flatt's 'Skin' and it reminded me of my dear, beloved SIL who lost her battle to cancer in 2003.


Bawled like a baby.

Bwahahaha! I just watched "Two Weeks Notice" with Sandra Bullock for the twenty-three millionth time. Bawled like a lost bebbe sheep.

I try to act tough in front of other humans though. You know.. I'm kinda like Bernie Mack :P

:hug:

37 year old male here. I'll admit it; if I see a movie where the dead father and the son finally play catch in a cornfield in Iowa, yeah, I will probably need a hanky.

If I jam my great toe backwards and coolly decide I must have broken it, no - I don't cry from pain. Ditto real-life emotion. If my wife left me I wouldn't shed a single tear (OK, bad example). If a loved one died, maybe. Fortunately I haven't had to find out. I do believe that it's OK for guys to cry (I don't hold to any of those silly stigmas or stereotypes) but honestly can't remember the last time I did that wasn't due to some film or other scripted event using paid actors/performers. Weird, huh?

Being able to let go and feel the sadness actually has its benefits.

I'm an actor, though, so crying on cue is also something I can do.

really good movies, pain (that's a lot). A whole bunch of reasons. Used to be I held it in. You get close to that dirt nap, you find a release.

Usually a few times a year...I usually internalize my emotions, and sometimes it just becomes to much, most of time I lash out (in a non violent way), and sometimes I cry.
