for me there has to be a big reason for crying.
but even then, at times you have to fake the 'being in control' thing bcz if you cry then ppl around you will be affected (at least that's the case for me) and I don't want that.

I think belligerence is probably the way I deal with really stressful situations.

The last time I did my little crying thing was when I was at the waiting room of a local hospital late at night waiting for Dad to come out of the emergency room, who was bleeding profusely out of a place he was operated on earlier that afternoon. I was trying to keep this person alert and conscious and I kept on trying to get him to stay awake. I struggled and fought and toward the end of it (before he was taken back to the emergency room) I could feel myself getting all broken up and my speech starting to sound shaky. I think I shed maybe two tears, and then looked down at my hands and felt awkward.
Maybe my mental state in general would be better if I could cry more easily. I certainly envy those of you who can cry when the mood strikes you. Crying = classic, especially as a catharsis.

I have cried at sleeve notes relatively often - there's that elegiac feel to them when the artist is dead and stuff has been re-released, or there's just an emotion there that isn't often present in criticism.

However, what pisses me of is this: I cry not just when I am sad, but also when I am very ANGRY. This really annoys me because anger should be a source of strength, and crying (in response to being overwhelmed by the emotion of anger) makes it seem like a weakness. It is easier for people to dismiss it, "Oh, Kate's just upset." No, Kate isn't upset, she is ANGRY.
However, whoever said that thing about the sniffing and the nose-running is OTM. I can just about hold back tears, but the moment I'm upset, I become an undignified, snotty mess. Yuck.

My angry tears are more like tears of frustration. I hate them, they make me FEEL weak.
