I tear rather easily at times due to allergies but I've not had a full on emotional crying session in ages. I kind of wish I had though, for the complete emotional release that comes with it. I bottle up way more than anyone should

Basketball · 07-25-2009, 10:20 AM

I dont think I have ever cried...im too hard for that

Toad Licker · 07-25-2009, 11:03 AM

Usually only during an anxiety attack and I rarely have those anymore.

MavenMI6Agent009 · 07-25-2009, 11:08 AM

When feeling extremely hopeless.

tigerlilly · 07-25-2009, 11:20 AM

i don't cry much. once i was feeling bad and couldn't cry, so i asked someone to yell at me so i could cry. D: it resulted in the end of our friendship; never doing that again.

huh · 07-25-2009, 11:35 AM

I can't remember the last time I did.

AceRimmer · 07-25-2009, 12:02 PM

Only when I'm depressed which is happening more frequently.

tony0306 · 07-25-2009, 12:06 PM

Every night for the last couple of months (since March specifically when something happened) while I lay in bed, just before I go to sleep, I think about my life, and things, and one tear forms and falls from my eye.

seanybhoy · 07-25-2009, 12:11 PM

Not in ages, my meds make me numb lol , i don't mind a lil bawl to myself at night i dunno kinda helps put things into perspective sometimes i guess huh.

<<<< Not emo btw

zookeeper · 07-25-2009, 12:58 PM

I'm dead inside.

kanarazu · 07-25-2009, 01:28 PM

I only really cry when something is like really happy and touching, it's kinda embarrassing

Iced Soul · 07-25-2009, 02:07 PM

I don't cry a lot, but it's not very rare, either. I don't think I've cried in at least 3 months. Pretty much when I've been bottling up feelings and finally I have to let something out is when I cry. And that's about it... unless something really sad or tragic happens. I've never cried when I was happy. Haven't been that happy yet. lol

slylikeafox · 07-25-2009, 03:43 PM

Sad movies and books get me more often than my own sadness. When I'm sad I actually wish I could cry more, but I'm starting to die inside. I got sad earlier this week and my eyes watered, but I managed to avoid full blown crying.

Annie K · 07-25-2009, 03:44 PM

I cry whenever I'm really sad or angry. Sometimes, that's once or twice a month, and other times it's everyday.

Ospi · 07-25-2009, 04:53 PM

I admit that the odd very sad movie i might get some dirt in my eye but other than that I don't cry at all. I did when my was forced to break up with my ex due to my SA problems though, that was tough.

VIncymon · 07-25-2009, 05:02 PM

Nope, can't remember that one ..

Now if you asked how many times have a spent an hour on my bed searching my day desperately for some sign of reduced S.A. until I've wrung myself dry -- that would be plenty

yellowpaper · 07-25-2009, 08:54 PM

I chose rarely, but that's only if I'm not in a relationship. If I am, I will probably cry multiple times a day, everyday, assuming that the relationship is bad. Either way, I'll cry a lot more.

I do almost cry sometimes, but.. usually hold it back. I really WANT to cry... a lot. I can't.

Phibes · 07-25-2009, 09:01 PM

I cried the other night when I was watching 'Bend it like Beckham'. Very emotionally charged scene towards the end with the Indian family.

Shauna The Dead · 07-25-2009, 09:10 PM

Depends. I do cry a LOT but if anyones around I usually hold it in.

I'm crying now actually.
