Crying

Post Reply New Topic

When I cry, it is like I have to push it, I feel sad, but I can't really cry any more, more the motion of crying without the real crying. Maybe I am too bitter. Maybe my emotions are too fake. I don't know what happened or why it is like that. I thought it was maybe self defence, placing a barrier around me and hardening myself against the world for being disappointed all the time.

I rarely cry, but I used to cry even less when I was a kid.
My mother said that at my first in kindergarten I was the only child who was not crying
I remember some of it and I didn't get why all the other children were crying, screaming and throwing fits.
I just saw my mother go away and thought "will she come to get me back home?" and was confused by the new place and people around me and pretty much by everything, but my mind was too cluttered and I didn't feel sad, angry or anything.
I just felt confused.

Some children even asked their mother to stay and they stayed with the children.
I didn't ask my mother to stay. Don't misunderstand me: I loved my mother and still do.

I was told by a counselor when I was 14 that not crying/not throwing trantums as a child when separated from the parents is a typical autistic trait.
I don't know if that's true, I'm not an expert.

No, I don't cry much now that I'm an adult. However, during my childhood and teenage years I'd cry myself to sleep almost every night due to the frustration and anger of being picked on.

I don't cry often, but I do cry and sometimes unexpectedly.

I have observed that I sometimes cry in response to an irrational overwhelming sense of sadness that is associated with the onset of fevers.
I believe this is a mechanism by which my body treats the fever. My understanding is that crying releases adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin and leucine enkephalin, and these may be effective in reducing fever and pain and altering interpersonal feelings.

I find that I sometimes have strong feelings that I do not really understand and cannot classify or describe. Sometimes these states prompt crying.

The other day I had a stressful post-work social event that exhausted me and I was surprised to find that when I lay down to rest after getting home, I cried.

I can cry or come close to crying when I feel completely alienated and out of touch with humanity.

I cry all the time. It takes very little to make me cry.

I cry embarrassingly often. I especially hate it when I cry out in public but when I do, I just can't stop.

I haven't cried over anything in a good long while, to be honest....I don't cry at funerals (not because I don't care, but because I see it as the end of suffering for the deceased), but I did cry back in 2011 when my old PC crapped out on me and I thought I lost everything on it.

i dont

When a pet dies and when I want to manipulate my parents. I haven't cried over anything else in a long time.

I wish I could cry more often.

I think it's an inherent problem of AS. We're either OFF or ON. Crying is in response to emotional pain. As you acclimate to higher amounts of emotional pain, lower amounts don't "trigger" a response. I've been very sad the last couple of weeks, and why crying won't make it "better" the release would help, but no matter how bad it hurts, it's not enough to get anything to happen.

Sadly no matter how much i want to cry, when i feel i need to it just wont happen so not very often i feel it but nothing comes out but when i do manage to i cant stop.

I still do not understand if my not crying is just who I am or something that needs to be corrected. Does it really make you feel better?

I hardly ever cry. Maybe when I'm overwhelmed with intense emotions, which is very rare. I didn't cry much as a little girl, either.

I cry sometimes when I watch shows with characters that I can relate to and when they die off I cry.
