If I find something sad enough, I'll cry. If I feel depressed, I'll cry because it relieves the depression for me. If someone I love is crying, I will cry with them. I've had times where I'll cry simply from how overwhelmed I get.
I think I do. That's not a bad thing to me though.
My dad's nickname for me as a kid was "crybaby", but as i've grown older I've learned to hold back from crying. So I tear up fairly often, but don't cry.
I did back in 6th grade because of my hormones and then when I was put on birth control, it stopped.
I don't cry much anymore. I only cry when I get really upset or when I have meltdowns. Sometimes sad things make me cry. Movies have made me cry like The Lion King when Simba's father died and Titanic when Jack died. There was only one book that made me cry and it was A child Called It.

I don't cry much but when i was younger i use to be more sensitive. I think things changed with me for some reason cause i was just thinking that today how i don't cry much. I have more anger though due to being overstimulated or annoyed by other things.
I almost never cry, I wish I could sometimes but it just doesn't happen. This leads me to seek other ways to release my emotions and they are not healthy.
From what I read either people cry way to much or not at all, no middle ground?

So I was curious does anyone else cry easy?
I do. It's not because my feelings are hurt. It's just because I feel overwhelmed. Fireworks, sappy movies, those old Kodak commercials, etc. I try to hide it but I'm a big cry baby.
I really wish i would cry more appropriately. I wish i could cry when i'm sad, but i just shut down. Or when i'm hurt, i mean my feelings are hurt, but then i meltdown, and it's mostly the agressive mix of shutdown AND talking, (i should really remain silent when i start shutting down) so still not crying until i am enraged. I only cry when i am very very mad at someone actually.
