How often do you cry?

[Amelie]

Bit of an odd question i know, but yesterday i felt really pissed off/sad for no reason- then when i thought about it i realised that it had been ages since i had cryed. I picked the boyf up from work and told him that i felt like having a really good cry and an early night. Naturally, not being the owner of a womb he thought i was metal- to want to cry when nothing is wrong. But you know, sometimes i think a right good cry every couple of months helps you get rid of built up emotions that you might not know your building up, and, because my life is generally ace i don't get the chance to cry anymore. I am not that happy that i am walking around crying tears or joy (that would be daft), nor am i unhappy enough to ever really get that sad- a bit of me has started to think that this crying malarky is summat to do with release. or letting go from time to time.

Does anyone else think crying from time to time is theraputic, or am i mad as a bag of spiders .

TBH - I can't remember the last time - must have been a little nipper.
Don't know why just an emotional cripple whos probably forgotten how to.

Never at Funerals of family or friends
Never at the Birth of my son
Never at some shock win results from Hibernian FC

Am I human?

some music can draw a tear

I cry all the time :$ Not coz I'm sad or down - it's just overwhelming feelings I get like when I hear a certain piece of music or certain bits in a film or seeing someone go over to their Mum n telling them they love em n that. I am very emotional me... n I do love being this way.... good or bad... just so long as it's strong... Nowt worse than apathy or indifference....

I've always had mad urges to phone people up n rave on about the fact that moon is hoooowge n beautiful outside my window or during a mad thunderstrom or like today when I came out of work n passed a bit of the site where it was covered in blossom n there were baby cygnets with their Mum playin by rabbits lol

I feel sometimes like I'm looking at the world thru the eyes of a 2 year old - everything is exciting to me...

I'm weird lol :$

Anyway I've meandered enough... as you were

Only ever through some kind of sadness for me though- it can be so beautifull that it sorta makes me feel all mortal and sometimes almost hollow. Usually deep cello does that, i find it hard to listen to Handels Sarabande without a heavy heart. I can't explain it, certain sounds just make me feel so much that i feel so alone.

LMAO

I yam what I yam

On the flip side of that is that I love being amongst chaos n violence

I love football violence, I was @ the Poll Tax riots in 1990 & I love a fuckin good mosh when you think you are gonna die but somehow miraculously survive

Not really much of a cry-baby to be honest, especially not considering I'm a girl. (sorry didnt mean that to sound horribly sexist..) and it tends to make me angry with myself if I cry in front of people, not necessarily because I think crying is bad, in fact I think its probably good to get it out of your system ; More because I hate to think I'm putting people on the spot / making them feel awkward seeing me like that :S
Its more often due to frustration for me, when things just all get on top of you and eventually you crack :S and the last time I cried for this reason was at the beginning of the year kinda time when everything was just going belly up over and over again and I was very very stressed. Before that though, the time that i can remember the most was the day I left Leicester to move to Brum, very emotional day .

Big sobbing session about 3 weeks back when I found out one of my best friends mum has incurable cancer . Was in bits. For her, for him. For the injustice of it all


I can be known to 'fill up' now and again, for happy or sad reasons , or sometimes for strong evocative memories , but this conveys emotion rather than weakness IMO


Tell ya one thing I was in absolute bits over : Did anyone ever watch that documentary on telly a year or two ago? - "The boy whose skin fell off"? O my God, I was a blubbering wreck, so sad and so humbling

Another observation I have made is that I seem to be getting softer / more sentimental the older I get :S

It busts me up big-time seeing people I care about cry Sometimes seeing them starting off starts me off :$

Strigs are the worst, when they get really high, and you feel them in your chest- then they soar evenh higher then plummet- it makes me sooo sad as its so lovely.

I also love real heartfelt emotion in someones vioce when they sing- you can tell when they mean it.

Strings rock my world as does heartfelt vocals.... particulary soul, gospel & opera...

You got mail I've got some for you too

Powerfull music in an emotional film like Shawshank Redemption can really tug at the heartstrings, but I don't think music can make me cry on it's own

nailed on fact

I agree with music being able to inspire it sometimes, sometimes its certain lyrics, things it reminds you of, or just that its a beautiful piece of music.

These are some of mine , may not necessarily make me properly cry or whatever, but usually either make me fill up / get me to that 'wibbly' lump-in-the-throat stage (and yes, you may laugh at some of them but who cares) :$

Moby - Why does my heart feel so bad
William Orbit - Barbers Addagio for strings
Coldplay - Trouble
She's the one - Robbie Williams
Against all odds - Phil Collins
The Verve - The Drugs dont work
Cafe Del Mar - Energy 52
REM - Everybody hurts
Mike & The Mechanics -The Living Years

One I'm not even going to type as it crucifies me to hear it! :S

I honestly can't remember the last time i had a really good cry!!!! Certainly not since i've been single again i know that much

I get the odd tear every now and then for little things quite regularly but that doesn't count. I'm more likely to cry at something on TV than anything in my own life, it's just too darn good!!!

One theory about why women live longer than men is that women cry more easily, both because crying is a physical realease of toxins and also and emotional release which if left to build up can manifest into physical illness and disease.

here here Shabba!

I totally agree...I havent cried since I have been single neither! I CRIED ALL THE TIME WHEN I WAS WITH MY X AS HE USED TO MAKE ME CRY and then tell me to shut the f..ukk up and stop whining !! Charming hey! infact I actually spoke to him the other day for the first time after 3 months and he was so nasty - wudnt let bi gons be bi gons etc...and I cried again. Thats what made me realise that I actually hadnt cried in such a long time !

Now I certainly dont have anything to cry about...

gospel

I really like Gospel music used to say I wouldnt mind them at my wedding (if I had one of course which is probably doubtful)
