    I cry, I don't cry much but when I do its like a faucet turns on and I can't stop. I get to the point where I almost cry all the time but to actually cry is big :)

    I cry all the time, I cry at the fluffy Royale kitten commercials...i cry at cheesy movies, I cry when I get into arguments (even though I'm really really angry and not upset/sad) I can't help it, and I actually don't like it as I feel it portrays me as weak.

    But it is what it is...

    my ex's son used to have this statement when we were watching movies "Is Lauren crying? Yup gotta be a good movie then..."

    :embarassed:

    sometimes one just can't help it.

    I cry when I'm happy, sad, upset, mad or ooberly excited! I'm a compassionate person so it doesn't take much for me to tear up. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

    When ladies cry, I fall to pieces.
    I can't be around that. I once forgave a huge debt just because this crumb sent his wife over to snivel in my presence.
    Never again!
    I have a heartless admin person who runs interference with any crybabies who slither in looking for sympathy.
    She's tough as nails.

    I'm definitely a crier, though there is little consistency about what sets me off, except when I'm angry and frustrated, which successfully makes me angrier.

    I digress. I can cry at commercials, songs, books, sometimes for absolutely no reason at all that I can work out (try crying at work and having someone ask you what's wrong and only be able to respond 'nothing').

    However, I rarely cry at funerals, which does not mean that I don't cry over a close person's death.

    People are different. Heartless people rarely worry about whether they appear to be heartless.

    Edited to add: My husband seems to only cry when our pets have to be put down, though he does come close at funerals.

    There are really only 3 things that I can think of that have made me cry in the last 15 or so years:

    My daughter - if she's hurt (really hurt) and crying, I will cry. If she's gotten her feelings hurt and is crying, I will cry. If she is just being the amazing child that she is, I will cry.

    Anger - if I get so angry that the only options are to totally lose my *kitten* or cry, I will cry.

    I cried when my dad died in October and I cry each time I visit his grave. I have to drive about 70 minutes to get to the National Cemetary and I can be totally fine the entire drive there but the second I turn into the cemetary the tears start falling.

    I cried when I had to put my dog of 14 years down last month.

    oh im so sorry!!!!!! I lost mine almost a year ago and I still cry when I think of him

    Same here. My basset (Ginger) was 14 when I had to put her down. I still tear up over her from time-to-time. Kid's movies often get to me since my daughter was born. Monsters Inc. gets me everytime, and just a couple weeks ago I was crying at the end of Brave. Come to think of it, I almost never cried until my daughter was born. Now I'm a big Softee...

    I seem to cry at everything, it's ridiculous. Most recently an episode of One Tree Hill had me sobbing uncontrollably for like an hour :laugh: It doesn't seem to take much to set me off though.

    One of my ex boyfriends used to cry whenever we argued. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do when blokes cry though so mostly it just made things worse.

    I have some mental problems so I can go years without even tearing up or I can cry on a daily basis, regardless of if there's a reason. The longest I've gone was probably somewhere around 2008 to late 2010, but I'd had a cat die the previous year, cried 8 months straight, and went emotionally numb. Movies/TV rarely make me cry.

    Last time I cried was a couple weeks ago but that was over me being poor at the moment, frustrated at a project sitting on my desk that I had yet again mucked up, and the fact my boyfriend is going through a lot of tragic stuff in his life and I'm constantly frustrated when I can't make things better or fix it. (yes I'm one of those people) Though honestly it's more frustrating when you're so emotionally drained that you can't even muster the energy to cry so you make some weird mewling noises in hopes tears will follow but they don't and so you just sit there feeling rotten for the fact you can't even cry about it.

    I think it depends on the situation as well as the emotional make-up of each individual.

    My mother was sick for over a decade and when she passed, it was a very peaceful event. No tears. I came to take care of my ex husband 30 years after our divorce. I provided 24/7 care for him for over 7 years and he just passed away last month. It was also a peaceful event and a great relief. No tears. I have a very logical and analytical personality, so crying isn't a regular occurrence for me.

    However, I have lost friends, suddenly, and cried. And, I hate to admit it, but I cried for days after my cat of 20 years had to be put to sleep. That was about 10 years ago, and I still tear up, sometimes, when remembering what a funny, sweet little fella he was. Go figure.

    Usually if I'm crying it's because of raging PMS. I figure it's probably good for me to have a really cathartic cry once a month.

    I might be making this up but I am nearly positive that men produce less of the chemical that produces or induces tears.

    Some people cry, some don't. Guys are more prone to be non-criers. I cry when I get too stressed, or in too much pain, or someone insults me really badly, or I simply feel bad about something. I cry sometimes during commercials, TV shows, movies, books, songs, depending on my mood. Of course, Titanic always makes me cry. Really, really hard stories to hear make me cry, even about total strangers. Death makes me cry. I just don't cry when I'm happy, you know, the whole "tears of joy" thing. Crying is a good release and a bad one. I always get a major headache and then my face ends up sore.

    I'm a crier :( I never used to cry except when my grandma died (I was 12). Ever since I got pregnant with my first 4 1/2 year ago all I do is cry it seems. Okay, it's not so bad as that, but I can't watch humane society commercials, starving kid commercials, any movie/tv show where something bad happens to a kid, etc. I also cry when I'm mad/happy/sad/hungry... pretty much every emotion. Once I cried bc I was out of crackers when I was eating chicken noodle soup. :laugh: I find it funny now, but then I was pretty mad at my husband for laughing at me.

    Last time I cried was when I had to put my dog of 8 years down a little over a year ago.

    I cry depending on my stress level. The one night I pulled an all-nighter, went to all my classes for the day, then went to practice. I kept missing tackles, and I eventually broke down and cried in front of my team for thirty minutes...but that was the only time something that extreme has happened to me.

    I cry at commercials, sappy songs, romantic movies, when people are dilholes, when people type "mellow dramatic," sometimes I cry when I laugh really hard.

    You're not a heartless s.o.b, some people are criers others aren't.

    I think we may be long lost siblings -:wink: Or should I say :sad:

    I think it's different for everyone. If you're a good guy and you treat people right, it doesn't matter that you don't cry.

    Me, though....yeah, I cry daily....I'm emotional as hell! :laugh:

    I cry a lot over stuff I wouldn't be bothered with years ago. I blame being pre-menopausal.

    i'm a cryer. Life kind of sucks for me right now so there's that.

    before this year i think the last time i cried was when one of my coworkers broke down at work. it was just the two of us and we were working late. anyway she just broke down balling and damn was she going through some crap in addition to the work stuff. i put up a front like i'm a hard *kitten* but really i'm a softie and i really HATE seeing other people suffer, so when they cry I'm right there :sad: with them and trying to cheer them up and give them ideas to solve their problems
