Weird moments you feel like crying?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi,

Tonight I was on the phone to my sister. We were discussing me going to do work experience next week and she got really personal. Now, I CAN'T STAND that sometimes society is shallow, basing everything off of looks. I think it's wrong and I do not change my appearance to please others. I never will. She told me I should get my hair and eyebrows done and I said no. She said that people have to 'prostitute themselves' (not literally) to do well in their career and I got really angry and upset at her trying to convince me to conform to a disgraceful 'norm' in society. She then went on to judge not only my appearance but other things. She says I apparently don't say please and thank you. I don't know if this is because of my AS or what. I'm not sure why she'd think I'd be rude to people I don't know. I never am. Or I don't think I am. I almost couldn't talk from emotion. After the call I just sat there fighting my tears.

I also feel like crying a lot when I'm worried or when I'm stressed. Is anyone else like this? What moments make you almost crumble?

Just exactly what you have described. I can totally relate.

Yes I cry when I feel people are abandoning me and feel real alone and when I think about other people especially NT people having the things and succeeding in ways I can not seem to get ahead in like relationships and such.

I tend to get angry, frustrated, or distressed when I feel misunderstood.

I'm likely to feel as though tears might well up if I'm just being honest with someone about something positive, but I don't feel like crying in those moments, so I don't know why my eyes feel that way.

I might feel like crying if I see something emotional in a film or TV ad, but that might be hormonal. It seems to get worse over time, and I'm in my 40s now.

Being sad doesn't usually make me feel like crying, though it sometimes does. But those are generally very private moments.

I used to cry more when I was a kid, but I think I'm now long used to the feeling that crying will get me smirked at or mocked. That tends to be a tear killer. So is fear of vulnerability in front of someone you might one day discover you can't trust anymore or someone you think will lose respect for you if you do it.

I did cry on more than one occasion after my mother died, though, almost 12 years ago. I still miss her, especially as I continue to deal with the issue of possibly having Asperger's.

I've been crying on and off all week. The fact that I don't go out clubbing has been bothering me a lot lately. I think it's because one of my cousins has turned 18 this week, and he's already going out with mates tonight, and so now that's all of my adult cousins that go out clubbing at week-ends now, except for one who is with a control-freak and nobody sees her anyway, but if she wasn't with him she would probably be out too. And my younger cousins are all NTs and seem extroverted so I know that as soon as they reach their late teens they will be out clubbing too. So that just leaves me, and it's just got to me lately. I shouldn't let it bother me, but I do.

The reason why it's been getting to me so much is because I have been asked to go out, but the thought of it just makes me clam up with social fear, so I have to avoid going to loud disco places with rowdy youngsters, but at the same time I don't want to be introverted and socially anxious and Autistic. I wish I wasn't like this. I hate it. So this is why it's getting to me so much. I just think, why me? I feel like Autism has made me the victim, and it makes it worse when all your family are NTs and you're not and never will be. It's terrible. I hate it, and I've been so miserable all week.

I cry all of the time. Often, I'm completely unaware of the emotion that led to the crying...it's like my tear ducts know I'm upset or emotional before I do.

My crying is really is a big issue for me, because it can be really embarassing...and it typically stems from frustration, and I feel frustrated A LOT. For instance, last week at work, I had my bangs tucked back behind my ear, but one piece of hair kept coming untucked and falling across my forehead. It was driving me CRAZY. I finally had to re-tuck it behind my ear so many times that I started to cry.

I cry when playing Devil May Cry...On NORMAL MODE. I also cry when listening to a good song.

I feel this way a lot when I try to interact with others, like now. Not sure why but can be distressing and probably why I avoid it. I also feel bad when I waste time and don't get thing done. I feel like I should be working all the time.
