How often do you cry?

@OnceAfraidToMerge , Thanks! That thread seems really interesting. I've had an interest in primativism on and off throughout my life and feel like so much is missing in our day to day as humans. I think punk and subcultures in general are tapping into that primal vein and tribal mindset. It's crazy we have to relearn how to be more authentically human sometimes.

 

I've cried after sex before. I think it's similar and has to do with the release, but I don't have the science to know for sure.

 

I used to be a complete robot when it came to crying. It was a topic that came up a lot, honestly, how nothing ever makes me cry.

One day I went to the movies with my boyfriend at the time and my best friend (we were seeing The Help) and they told me beforehand that if I dont cry I'm heartless and they were both crying their eyes out the whole time and I'm just sitting there like... it's sad, sure, but im not gonna cry about it.

Anyway, fast forward to I dont even know when it changed, but now I'm such a baby and I can cry immediately at almost any sad thought. Lol I can also (most of the time) make myself cry. But seriously, I tear up at anything sad, sweet, sappy, nostalgic, etc. Idk what changed, but I'm not a robot anymore. lol

 

How often do you cry?
Every time I get my dental bills

 

Screaming? Hehehe. I dont know if I ever had the opportunity to scream as loud as I could ... Or even half of what I can.
I like laughing untill physical pain, but it gets crazy when I can't stop it lol.

 

The last time I laughed until the point of physical pain it involved Brad Neely. I highly recommend it, but I have a weird sense of humor. Take breaks or prepare for an ab workout.

@Castielle I sometimes get panicky about the pressure to cry. Like if I got unexpected tragic news would I not be able to cry on the spot. I feel like the people around me would think I was a monster. Its an irrational fear I guess because I probably would cry, but then again maybe I wouldn't in that exact moment. Not knowing makes me tense.

 

Yeah, I feel that way too. I cry really easily now at like movies and stuff or hypothetical or fictional situations, but I still dont cry easily at actual bad things happening. I'm not an overly emotional person most of the time in reality, and sometimes I worry about what people will think. But for the most part I've just embraced that that's who I am and they shouldnt judge me for it.

Also, there are perks to being that way. I tend to be the one sort of supporting people or taking care of the messy stuff when bad things happen, because I'm not as emotional about it so I dont need as much emotional support. That also often means that I'm not very good at sympathizing with very emotional people and supporting them emotionally, but I can support them in other ways.
