Weird moments you feel like crying?

Post Reply New Topic

Things like frustration and anxiety can reduce me to tears easily. In fact, during my first job interview last year, I was so anxious about it that when the guy asked the first question, I almost started crying trying to answer it, super nerve-wracking for me trying to hide it, but I don't think he noticed. Crying out of frustration just seems to relieve the tension and makes everything not feel quite so miserable, but it can be embarrassing if I'm caught at it; I generally don't let other people see me cry as a matter of principle.

I cry like a baby when I listen to Mahler's "Das Lied von der Erde" - Der Abschied

Yesterday a fellow pianist had me listen to a critique his Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 1. It was excellent, and I explained to him what I thought. It took me a while to get the words out though. Then, he asked if I had any critique. From a mysterious place, I said so many mature and wonderful things. I sounded like the mentors I look up to. So, I had to fight back tears. Something about the music I had just heard, the fact that I have a friend like him, the feeling of describing something so well, overwhelmed me.

I never feel like crying.

I usually want to cry when someone upsets or humiliates me. But also sometimes I despair of someone so much that I want to cry for them. Some people can just act so weird that I just get so highly irritated and want to cry (also sometimes people's odd behaviour humiliates me too). I shouldn't really cry over this because instead it should teach me that it's not just me that can be odd at times, but anyone can be.

Crying when overwhelmed and/or frustrated is normal to me. Weird crying is when I'm having a bad day and something good happens to me, like finding a parking place or finding a dime on the ground. It makes me so sad that nice things are so rare and most of life is either neutral or ugly.

Crying and screaming seem to be my body's choice when in meltdown mode.
I cry uncontrollably when I've had too much stimulation, which could have been building up over days, and then one thing like unexpected bad news, or frustration over something falling out of a cupboard will send me over the edge, and I can't stop.
I seem to be doing this more often lately, and it can be embarrassing when you are trying to get on with life and not hide at home.
I've written a small statement out on a card to hand people so they are not alarmed.(because I find it hard talking in that moment)
People find it hard to ignore tears, and they upset people.
Even if its just your body overflowing as I think of my meltdown tears. Different to being sad tears.
