If I was asked when was the last time I cried I'd probably say years ago. Big fat lie! More like last night. Plus, just earlier tonight with my friend when we were talking about her problems and she was really close and sniffled I felt it in my eyes, though I really didn't want to cry then.

I can't remember when I last cried. I know I have cried before when something upset me or when I lost something. This was in 2008. Last time I can remember crying was last summer (2008)when something upset me on here. Took me three days to get over it. I can't remember if I have cried after that since then.

earlier last year, about a week before my birthday, one of my close friends (who, predictably, filed me into her "friends only" category) hung herself after she was publically humiliated at the mall. I didn't find out until 2 days after the fact, which made me feel worse, because I could not possibly have imagined what could upset her so much that ending her life was the only thing to cross her mind. To this day, I still find myself beating myself up over it...

Just a few minutes ago, when I was thinking about wanting to make a friend when I go back to school but I can't figure out how.

I've cried less as I've gotten older... it does depend somewhat on how my life is going... these days I can't watch any superhero movies without crying... I bawl my head off at the Incredibles. A year or so ago... don't remember exactly when... I was trying to create a cover letter that would help me find a better job, with the hopes that if I were honest up front about my AS that I'd find a better place... It didn't work out that way -- they lied to me during interview and told me they were cool with x, y and z and then fired me for the reasons I explained in my cover letter after about 4 months working here... Anyway, I didn't cry when they fired me... I was more pissed... but a few months before when I had been trying to work up the cover letter, I had decided to elicit outside advice on the cover letter... and I decided to do that on Tribe.net specifically in a tribe that was about mind/brain stuff and human behavior. It went badly. They called me a narcissist and I spent the next 3 days basically completely unable to function. Until I realized that their reasons for calling me a narcissist were because they themselves were narcissistic. At that point I got angry and pretty much got over the event. But I cried a lot over those 3 days.

The last time that I cried was the day after New Year's Day. Before than, I cried in June 2008, when I was really upset about an incident here, and it took me three months to come back here, to start posting again. That's why I wasn't around to answer a lot of PMs. From June, until late August or early September, I didn't have the guts to make any posts. I've also cried when my mum was pushing me into going to Weight Watcher's in 2007, a week after she looked at Sid like he was some sort of disease. There was one time that I remember crying before that, around 2005-2006.

Due to isolation and depression, not a day goes by when I don't at least shed a tear...and often I cry.

yeah i cry every once in a while, when the emotional baggage is getting too heavy. i used to cry alot more in the past, but for reasons unknown to myself i became more bitter and harsher.

i cry only in circumstances of absolute frustration.
i have not cried much in my life, but i have cried a few times.
i did not cry when i was a baby but i sometimes cried in rage from about 2-5 years old

i remember crying in fits of rage at things that physically hurt me when i was a child. (like getting my finger pinched in the door of a matchbox car for example).
even though i got my finger out (or extricated myself from what was hurting me) , i still felt the pain and cried in absolute frustration that i could not rid myself of the pain. i blamed my car and i wanted the world to hate it as much as i did and i screamed and bellowed at the car.

that is just a random example.

but i quickly realized by about 5 that crying does no good and changes nothing about what has happened.

i did not cry memorably again until i was 14.

then my cat called "tiger" (yes very unique name) died. he was alive all my life, and 14 years before my life as well.
in his old age, he could not meow, and he had few teeth and the little kids that my sisters had would not pet him or touch him because they thought he was ugly.
he was so beautiful to me. he appreciated that i cared so much for him, and he croaked at my bedroom door to get in at night.
i cared for his every need.

he was 28 when he died and he died not from frailty, but he got a blockage in his urethra and he could not urinate.
the vets refused to operate due to his age and we watched him die slowly.
there was a chance that the stone in his urethra would spontaneously dissolve, so i begged them not to put him to sleep (i said "please" many times on that occasion).
but it did not dissolve, and his blood became poisoned with toxins. he went into a coma, and because he was not conscious, we (mum and me) still decided to give him a chance for the blockage to dissolve (not have him put down).

i dripped water in the side of his mouth for 4 days and his tongue licked it but his eyes did not respond.

then when my mother and me where in the laundry where he was laying on the 5th day he suddenly started to stir. he made some attempted croaky meowing sounds and he opened his eyes and stretched his 4 legs ansd shivered and i started to pound myself in the head as i knew he was going to die right then and i touched his face and he then died.

i ran off into bushland and found a place where i could dump my broken heart without attracting attention from people.

i could not believe that it had just happened, and since then i never really loved as deeply again because i realized the temporariness of it all and my crying was in rage against absolute frustration that i have no power at all to bring him back to life.

Well you can't feel the same way forever. Maybe you just get mad instead of sad. That or just dead inside so you feel nothing (I wish I was). Maybe it's just a matter of becoming a man.

I can't remember when I cried last, but I cry quite often I'm a right mard-arse! I don't usually cry when I'm sad it's usually when I'm frustrated or angry.
I also get quite tearful at certain songs, if they have a certain sound to them, like the odd sad note or a nostalgic feel I get all emotional.

lol Im juch an emo 8)

Last time I cried was back in October, but that was due to some exceptional circumstances. Looking back over the times I've cried I'd have to say that starting since I was a teenager I've only cried once every two years. I actually thought I had lost the ability for awhile since even when I wanted to cry I couldn't, but then October happened.

Last time I cried was back in August last year, when I had a biiiiig argument with my dad and he said something which really upset me. Before that I cried on two consecutive days after my school leavers prom. (Liked this girl who I asked out face to face there and she got really pissed off about it and we had a massive argument and fell out and I felt really guilty and depressed because I knew I wouldn't see her again, so basically I sobbed my heart out.....twice.
I tend to cry 2-4 times a year, which is not a lot really. There are other times when I feel like crying, but I'm strong emotionally (at least I like to think that lol), so I don't cry much.
