Weird moments you feel like crying?

Post Reply New Topic

i have found that [and this doesn't take too much imagination, real life helps out a lot] if i mentally picture the authority figure as having poor body hygiene [often they do!] and BO and bad breath and such, it takes much of the psychological sting out of their bullying castigation of me. i just see them in the correct perspective, as stinky bullying barking alpha mongrel dogs, to be withstood or tolerated for the time being.

I'm a crybaby by nature, and the weirdest stuff will trigger me. One surefire way is to see suffering dogs and/or cats. That's likely one of the more normal causes, though.

I have that too at times. When I'm tired I'll sometimes start crying for no reason and then think about all the things I'm not very good at, which make me very frustrated and I'll cry more. I also have a tendency to get watery eyes if people express concern with me, even though it's completely unnecessary for them to feel sorry for me as I have a pretty swell life.

I hardly ever cry because of sadness, it's usually out of anger or frustration or a combination of the two.

I feel like crying at times, but then I cant.

Guys, it's weird, but I don't cry when I feel hurt; I cry when it's safe to feel hurt. By that I mean I'm not afraid of what anyone will think of me for crying, but every time I cry I end up giving in to something that I believe to be totally unacceptable, like some rotten rule or norm. Crying produces endorphans which make one happier, but, well, happy people are more likely to give in!

I have experienced this. Back when I could still tolerate the smell and taste of alcohol, I had a few times when I drank enough to make myself able to cry. It made me feel like I'd rebooted emotionally or something. I did it every few years, it seemed. But I can't stand alcohol anymore. I guess my reboot method is gone now.

I feel like crying when gender stereotypes are shoved into my face by traditional type people. I don't do it in front of them, because it's pointless. I do so in private and rant rave that at least I look like a man that I look up to as a role model. At least my real gender isn't that noticeable to a lot of people.

-thinking about the past
-having something really embarrassing happen to me
-getting too stressed out at work
-being extremely depressed
-people yelling at me

Actually things like that don't make me cry, they make me rage.

I cry when there's to much emotion. Like if I'm feeling to much of a emotion or if someone has to much emotion talking to me. If I ask someone a question and they try to explain it and I can't understand it and they keep trying to explain, I get frustrated then I get really upset and will have to keep in tears. Sometimes I get mad first and have to keep my self from yelling at them, so I end up saying something mean. If someone is yelling at me then I always get the urge to cry, so I start yelling at them then crying.

Things that make me cry are
-frustration
-feeling overwhelmed
-someone yelling at me
-being corrected by more than one person
-not being able to explain myself
-talking about myself (deeper things, not like my favorite color or something)
-having to do something that I really don't want to do
-big changes in plans that I have made
There's more obviously, but those are big ones that I can think of.

A lot of the time I start crying and I don't know why, it's very confusing for me and for other people - I think it's usually when I am feeling overwhelmed.

Recently I've started crying when I see people out in the park with their dogs, or pictures of people cuddling their cats or other pets, because I am pet-less.

Yeah I get that. I just play a little animation of me crying in my head. Or spitting out streams of obscenities and smashing up imaginary furniture or whatever the case may be. I'm sure it's not quite as cathartic as actually doing these things, but if you have a good imagination, it is cathartic.

I'd also be very upset if somebody in my family told me to do that. That would make me cry for sure. I have gender issues, so that would also make me feel very angry inside.

When I read the thread title and then clicked on the page, what I thought was ... what makes me cry and thought to myself "frustration" - And then the first sentence I start to read once the page has loaded was ...

So ...

This is heartbreaking and exactly what I contend with on a daily basis. Insecurities suck.

I know that all to well, my emotion are 100% based on an emulation controlled by Logic. As such I run everything through the emotional emulation process and it tells me what I should be feeling ... in order to appear NT. It makes it very easy to control my emotions and to be completely honest I hardly ever cry. When my grandmother passed away last year. I received a call from my mother telling me she had died. Then my voice told me my emotions before I knew them, because my voice broke several trying to speak during the conversation (I've never done that before). After hangin' up, I cried for 30 seconds and then I was done.

Usually only one thing can bring me to tears. Beauty, but not in the way you might think ... because it's not like, "well the dress my GF wears make her look beautiful". No, it's when people risk their life to save other people (that is the only instictive emotion I do have). Because it reminds me that it's the most redeeming feature of Homo Sapiens as a species. That s**t is so beautiful. It's human nature to come to other peoples aide in a time of crisis. Just look at how the people of NY acted on 9/11.

My favorite drama series for years has been "Third Watch", because during the course of following police officers and paramedics ... it just happen so often and then my tearducts will start trying to produce a tear ...

... but then my emotion emulation kicks in and works overtime to try and kill it. Making my tearduct actually spasm ... which is one of the most unpleasent things I know, because I do really what to cry because of the beauty. But I simply can't ... not even when I want to
