I'm SUPER sensitive my family says something and I start crying. I take everything they say rudely! I've made countless topics of my family saying things and me taking them rudely or wrong and I cry getting upset. So I was curious does anyone else cry easy?

I haven't cried for a long time, but I can get a few tears in my eyes for small reasons. Sometimes small things can give me a tear in my eye, but it's a struggle for me to cry.

I haven't cried for years. I only cry on the inside, and that's only when I'm watching a group of people interact easily and having a good time. Sometimes I'll watch a movie and I'll cry. But as for really breaking down and crying, it's been a while.

no.
I do not cry easily. I find crying and accessing tears to be very difficult.
I did cry about my diagnosis with AS about a month ago - which was almost a year and a half after finding out I was on the ASD spectrum. Synchronised emotional and cognitive comprehension is not my strong point. I have VERY delayed emotional reactions to things UNLESS they are sensory related and pertaining more to sensory overload and meltdown.
The processing of feelings about things is a rudimentary and difficult exercise for me, most of the time.

I used to be this way but I got stronger. One of the reasons was due to hormonal imbalance so birth contol sure helped and then I was less emotional. Now I am fine on my own without it.

I cry easily, sometimes. A lifetime of unendurable hardship makes that fairly inevitable. I have also been told once by a mere stranger that I carry my heart on my sleeves. I think he was just a patronizing bastard who didn't really know his ars from his elbow. He recognized my sensitivity though if the truth be known and wasn't kind about it either. I was just bewildered in that instance and mostly non-communicative. I get overwhelmed easily too and sometimes it can result in tears.

Yes too easily! When at home anyway. It's basically the only reaction I have to some emotions, sad, angry, frustrated, things aren't my way, all make me cry.
My two main reactions are this, smiling and crying. Aren't I complicated :P
But when I'm out I can be pretty tough and don't show much, as soon as I get home it all comes out.

I suppose that I should be embarrassed as a 32 year old man, but I do cry often, and I don't think I feel properly chagrined about it. But I am not sure if I could call it crying easily. I don't cry around other people and over what I would consider simple things. But I have had a very rough life by any measure, and the memories are often too much for me to handle. And sometimes things like movies and songs will remind me of that. So, I won't be crying over those specific things, it's more like being overwhelmed by influx of those things when they hit a very raw area. I don't cry over anger or frustration or happiness (although I certainly wouldn't mind that :P ), I only cry for sadness or longing or desperation.

I used to cry a lot. But after so many years of school, I've had to force myself not to.

I cry very easily. I take things that people say to heart, and if somebody raises their voice at me, I take it personally, and I start to cry. However that doesn't happen at work. It only happens when I'm not at work, as I'm the happiest at work. I used to tell my mum that I wish that I would never cry at all. She asked, "Do you wish to be an emotional cripple and feel no feelings, at all?" I should have told her, "When I'm around you, I do. You're embarrassed to hear or see me cry." That was before I was living on my own.

Usually I don't cry easily. When I watch a good film that is poignant I do cry easily. When I hear about something sad in the news, I sometimes do as well.
