Ha I was just going to post the same thing!

We should definitely do that

Yesterday when the PROP8/DOMA decision came down.

I hate crying like I hate death and disease.

Sometimes, I may feel an urge to for whatever reasons, but I automatically hold them back.

Crying makes me feel helpless, powerless and stupid...it's never the "cleansing relief" people seem to describe. I can't relate to wanting to watch a tear-jerker movie to have "a good cry". Those sorts of movies feel manipulative to me, at best.

That said, it was about six months ago when I lost my job. See? Helpless, powerless and stupid.

I cry because of that feeling, I don't get it from crying.
Or from simply being moved (that happens to me more often than anything else)
I'm sure last time I cried was something inspirational on YouTube - like that autistic girl who typed.

A week or two ago...watching some stupid movie...tears flowed.

It may've been The Notebook (I finally saw that stupid movie). Which reminds me that the PREVIOUS movie which made me cry was also a Ryan Gosling flick..."Blue Valentine".

AND I still haven't gathered the nerve to watch "Crazy, Stupid Love" b/c I know it's gonna make me cry.



Ryan Gosling needs to die.

I just read stupid The Notebook book a month or so ago. It was so touching, I could barely breathe sometimes. No tears, though. Couldn't imagine how it would be to have someone care for me THAT MUCH!

Crying makes me feel really lonely and I honestly don't need that feeling enhanced.

I have no desire to see the movie, crikey. And I'll be the first (i think) to say that I cannot see the appeal of Ryan Gosling in any way. His eyes are too close together, he has kind of a "dumb" look about him. How he is a "heartthrob" I cannot fathom.

I'm a big softie also. I cry at commercials. Sad movies...I cried the other day watching Finding Nemo with my 3yo grandson because he was sad (spoiler alert) when the mom and eggs got eaten...

The last time I really was a month ago when I found out my great-nephew (18) had a cancerous brain tumor. It's just so not fair.

I cry so easily especially during kids movies. I cry at the end of Wall-e when eve tries to fix him and it's not working.

I cry nearly every day for kids with cancer! which is why I am replying to your post. I'm sorry about your nephew, I hope he will be ok.

Crying just compounds those feelings to me. I feel like crying will not change things and the act of it only makes me feel worse. I am a great counselor/comforter of those who do cry; i want them to feel safe. That's not an experience i'm able to take advantage of, myself. Crying alone is just...ack. When I'm touched in some way (music, scenery, art, love of my boy) I do well up but I resist the actual crying. Makes me feel too vulnerable. I haven't been nicknamed "Spock" since I was a girl for nothing.

I feel exactly the same way. Crying makes me pissed off.

didn't really cry but about a week ago when i was watching some older videos i'd taken with the ipad, i came across one of my son (who's currently 3) when he was about 18 months old, and my eyes filled with tears at the sheer cuteness and how much i love him

about a month ago during a spinning/migraine attack from hell.

ever try vomiting on an empty stomach?.....hurts dont it.....

3 weeks ago....when I came home from a business trip to find severe water damage in my bedroom, and that my bed, dresser and some of my books got taken with the deluge of dirty water, ceiling plater and general grossness.

Aww! Please feel free.

I'm a big ol' softie too but I cry mostly about things that actually make me happy. I tend to get melancholy or angry about things that make me sad but I don't often cry about them.

The last time I cried was a few weeks ago when my grandson was all excited about showing me that he could ride his little power bike that he got for Christmas.

Some music makes me cry, just because of how powerful it is.

Thinking about my mom makes me cry immediately, RIP Mom

Thinking about anything bad happening to my wife makes me cry.

Those inspirational videos of people who overcome the bullshit hand they've been delt, always makes me cry.

Crying right now typing this.

Thanks Stymie!

Not sure when I turned into such a baby.

The weird thing is I can also turn on the anger just as easy.

Pretty powerful when you think about it.

Oh and every time I watch Brokeback Mountain I cry like a baby. No matter how many times I watch it, I still break down while saying to myself, "I'm not gonna cry...I'm not gonna cry!"

I have a bit of a crush on him....

"Jack, I swear..." gets me every time, too! That was a very touching movie. It was just on TV a few days ago, and I watched it again. Heath Ledger was robbed of the Oscar IMO. He was absolutely brilliant in that film.

I remember listening to the Tom Joyner Morning Show when the movie premiered. Tom was saying he didn't know what to make of the movie. Was it about friendship or what? Anthony said, "Man, it's a love story." But the way he said it deridingly spoke volumes. I labeled him homophobic.

Anyway, getting back to the subject at hand. I'm very emotional. I will cry at the drop of a hat if something is touching or poignant. However, strangely, I don't cry when faced with some personal catastrophy like losing my job/getting fired. The last time that happened, I know folk were waiting for me to fall apart, but I was cool as a cucumber, handed in their shit and left dryeyed and head held high with an aura of "FUCK YOU, THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON AND THIS JOB! I'm fucking outta here!"

The very last time I cried was last Sunday. I was visiting a frient and we were talking about my mom's death and I just lost it. It was the first time I had ever talked about it to anyone in detail.

Thank you Shorty ...he has a mutant cancer. It brings the survival rate average from 1 year (normal survival rate for glioblastoma multiforme but the mutant is almost it's own category) to an average of 10 to 20 years, which is such a short length of time but he swears he'll beat that. His attitude is so inspiring.

Good for you and walking out like a diva.


I think Heath was robbed also! And it WAS a real love story. Tom's just a hater.

I really want to cry right now actually.
