Weird moments you feel like crying?

Post Reply New Topic

I like challenges...like, puzzle games and such. However, with adventure games, the challenge has nothing to do with using your mind, but hitting the right combination of buttons at the right time; like, you know exactly what you have to do, but you just can't seem to do it time after time. How is that not horribly frustrating? I don't know. I like sitting and having to figure out something like Portal, but I'm not going to play Uncharted on Hard, because dying over and over seems kind of a pointless waste of time, that would eventually lead to me crying.

I feel like crying every now and then, whenever I think about taking my own life..

Or when I get hit with the haymakers of life like today, when I was sitting in the ice cream store eating my ice cream while looking out the window watching the world go by... just thinking about life and how much it sucks.

Wasn't thinking about crying this particular moment, but I was sitting on the train here in NYC and I briefly glanced up to look at some people and was just thinking to myself, man these people don't know how lucky they are to be NT and to not have other drastic life altering sickness, that would caused them to be judged in a negative manner by other people.

I hear you. Dealing with judgment is so hard on top of it all. It's not okay in our society to be different and very painful to cope with that.

I hate watching sad movies with people around. I'll start tearing up and it pisses me off that I can't cry in front of people lol

Yer but I feel very alone because I'm going out for a meal tonight with my family because it's my brother's birthday, and all my cousins will be there, and all of them all went out clubbing last night and so will be sitting there talking about it, making me feel like an old woman. Or I will feel like an 8-year-old, because the only cousin there who didn't go out last night was my 8-year-old cousin, so I suppose I will only be able to relate to him.
One of my cousins is obsessed with drinking (but she's not an alcoholic, she just thinks drinking is great), and my brother only embraces (not physically) people who get drunk, and he is in his mid-20s. And the cousin who has just turned 18 is a serious, quiet lad, but now has turned into a party animal just because he's turned 18, and they're all going to be sitting there talking about it all evening. Then I get the criticising: ''Joe90, why don't you come out?'' ''You should come out with us!'' ''You're young, Joe90, you should be out with us!'' ''We go out because we actually socialise'', and so on. I wish young people realised that meeting up with friends in the day and going out for lunch and going shopping and doing voluntary work at week-ends at a charity shop is also socialising! !! Only people over about 30 realise that, but thankfully I realised that already and I'm only 21.

Why oh why do I have to be the one who stands out? Tell me!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

Joe90, hang with that 8-yr-old whenever you feel you can. Sometimes they're just cooler people. A time when he's the only kid amongst a bunch of adults might be a good time, because he won't be wound up by other kids and will appreciate any attention he gets. I'm going to be 44 this spring, and I have a nephew who's 8. I find it restful to sit quietly with him while he goes on about things like roller coasters and haunted fun houses he wants to design. He doesn't expect anything of me. He just likes it that I listen to him. Even if I don't catch everything he says, he's still happy to have my attention. It's quieter, sometimes, than trying to deal with the chaos of the conversation amongst all the adults.

Also, hang with the over 30 set, as I began to do when I became a young adult. If they see you're not into being wild just 'cause you don't care about anything or because you think the fact that you're young means you have to be, they'll have a little respect. Then you have something to build on.

These aren't perfect situations, but they've worked reasonably decently for me, at least in comparison to being with my age peers when I was young. These days, I'm old enough that I can hang with almost anyone and they'll either take me as I am or leave me alone. But you have to wait a while for that, so try stepping outside your age group in the meantime.

Peer pressure sucks. I'm with you on that one, for sure!

Yes,

not really "cry" per se, but I can get really emotional just listening to a particular song that comes up in my iPod when I'm walking in public,

but as a guy, I hold it in.

but I do feel like tearing because of how life is as an aspie and that particular song may invoke certain emotions.

Like a lot of people here, being frustrated is what makes me cry most often. It could be because I can't figure something out, or am trying to communicate and either no one is listening or deliberately misinterpreting what I say. When I feel like I'm using a massive amount of effort and am getting nowhere. Also, math typically makes me cry because it's so difficult for me to "get" and most classes I've taken the instructor was literally stoned out of his mind.
I rarely cry due to sadness. I equate it with things I'm unable to do anything about, those are the things that typically make me cry.

Hi Snpeden,
I'm sorry to hear

I have the same thing with 'Math'. It doesn't really make me cry, but I can't seem to get my mind around with it - and it's tough in a society that deals with it.... especially when it comes to anything relating to banks.

i cry all the time , sometimes for no resoan at all, sometimes i feel my tear ducts have a life of thier own ...i dont know if its cos of my biploer or AS or if im just a big wimp lol

I just told my psychologist that exact thing, that my tear ducts seem to have thoughts and emotions of their own. I am not bipolar, so that leaves AS or wimpiness. Weird thing is, I almost never cried until I was 12 or 13...it's like my hormone switch went to overdrive and never leveled out.

I feel like crying in many situations (sad films, animals in pain, being judged, being misunderstood, etc). The most intriguing one is after an orgasm: I feel an urge to cry and it's instantaneous, cannot prevent it. Other thing: when I cry all my fingers hurt badly. Go figure. Could this be a sort of synesthesia?

i'm afraid i'm all cried out on that. but for decades of my life, i was not fully consoleable. but since i have stendahl's syndrome, i can still be made to cry at some truly bizarre things- for example, today on PBS i was watching a special about how some dedicated hobbyists are taking in basically big forgotten piles of rusted metal and outputting shiny new old beautiful glorious steam locomotives [trains] choo-choo-ing just like back in their glory days. that made the waterworks turn back on. i mean, that all is SOOOOO noble and sentimental! noble people who take unwanted and forgotten old things and make them shiny new and desirable again, they're my heroes! weeping while smiling warps my brain.

Oh yeah... It's not a nice feeling. I sometimes get a bit panicky on the train, but that's usually when I am in an especially bad mood. Most people scare me because they could potentially all find a fault in me and complain.


I think clubbing is one of the most boring and most pointless activities there is. Especially if you don't drink, because that's what most people associate with clubbing.

"You're young" always makes me want to throw up. It's no surprise that when they're old they will have all sorts of problems because when they were young they were completely mindless about it. I may sound pretty prude, but I think it's just common sense. Especially because I can never in my life imagine it to be fun.

Maybe you should see your standing out as a good thing, even if it's hard. Even if people think you're weird. Maybe you can make a difference.

I didn't change when I turned 18. The only relevant thing for me was that I would be able to vote. Or rather... I felt obliged to vote, even though I do not support a specific party.

My mother and sister went out to a restaurant with me on my birthday last year and I made a joke about getting a bottle of wine and my mother thought I was being serious. And I said, "Yeah, as if" and she said, "Well, maybe you start NOW..." How is starting to drink an accomplishment? It's like starting to drink kerosine because that seems just as useful to me. Alcohol just tastes... weird. It tastes wrong to me because it doesn't taste good.

I feel like crying when I get frustrated. Like when things are out of place and I can't find something, or I keep reaching for something and it's not where it is supposed to be, I can start crying over it. If there's a lot of stuff in my way, like junk piled up on the floor and I have to keep stepping around it, that can make me cry too. Getting frustrated with a computer can make me cry too.

I can also break down crying if I get too hungry, or too tired.

I feel like crying when somebody points out a social fuax pas of mine. I especially hate it when I am feeling depressed but trying to be happy and then somebody tells me to stop acting silly, so I go back to being depressed again.

Also getting told off by people in authority makes me cry. The tears come out before I can stop them.

I just can't seem to keep emotion inside.
