I am a cry baby.
Have been since elementary school. That did not work out well.
I am now 77 and still get periods of weepiness that last for a week or two. The upside is that the periods are more infrequent now. I also seldom get headaches and do not have ulcers. I rarely wear makeup, so that is not usually an issue, either.
Sometimes I wonder if being a "yeller/screamer/shouter" would be more effective with dealing with the rest of the family members. Logic/reasoning/calmness does not seem very effective when "they" are "on a roll".
