I am a huge crier. I cry over everything. My dad was a very emotional man and it embarrassed him to no end. I think it's harder for fuys. My son burst into tears when he saw his wife to be in her wedding dress at the wedding. I was doing fine until he started and then look out. Yesterday when Diane posted about her DH drowning, I was bawling like a baby. Sometimes it annoys me.

must be hormones
i only cry once in a while. i had to toughen up for a few years to get through some stuff..
i cry at watching movies..brians song..forest gump etc..and yes it feels good to get it all out. it is a release.

Most of my adult life I coiuldn't cry worked in a prision and had to appear tough. Later I was very depressed and cried if someone spoke to me took depression pills and learned to control my emotions than when I had triple by pass was told to be prepared for my emotions to run away with me. I thought I was too tough for that but I cant control my crying anymore. Somrtimes I cry for no reason at all, but mostly cry when I am very mad or tired sometimes I let a sad movie get to me. Usually I find crying very cleansing

I cry at anything Patriotic. And watch out if it is about a military person coming home and it shows the reunion with family (especially if children are involved) and I mean heaving sobs. My kids laugh at me.

I sure am a crier....God said in his word he bottles up our tears

Way too much !!! Commercials, any thing. Think I need to get my hormones in check !!

It is so nice to know.... I'm not alone!.... in this crying thing I do. Oh my sister does too! I guess we've always figured it was just a family thing we had in common! Apparently our "family" just expanded to everyone on this board that cries!

At most funerals I don't cry I sob. My face gets all red and puffy. I also cry at weddings. In order to not cry I find something to think about and don't listen to the words. I use to cry a lot but not so much any more. It could be life is better, not so much to cry about or I know crying won't make the problem better. I am pleased to say I didn't cry at my daughters wedding last year. She was already crying when she was getting dressed. I had to just stay away from her and not talk to her or both of us would have had major water works. I missed having a special time with her before the wedding but I had to do it.

Not usually, not even after "surgical menopause" when I was 36. It takes a LOT to get me to cry, and I'm more likely to cry from frustration than from sadness.

That said, there's one thing that'll push me over the edge every time: animals being mistreated. I can't even watch that ASPCA commercial with the "Arms of an Angel" song. Tearing up just thinking about it. :cry:

I have cried more in the past 12 months, since my brother died, than I have cried in the previous 50 years. I cry for his children who will never know (as adults) what a really good bloke he was.
