I have. I cried after sex once, and I know most people would probably find that hideously dud, but at the time my emotional state was a mess, so being happy was just too overwhelming.

The guy kinda lost interest after that happened too, unsuprisingly.

I cry after sex quite a bit. It's all just one big release, you know!

I cried during sex once, but, uh, not cause I was happy.

I cry at tv and movies ALL THE TIME.

When I was a teenager, I cried whenever I talked about myself--and I mean every time I talked about myself.

"I listen to college radio all the time--sniff!"
"I like Rice Crispies in the morning--sob!"
"I like to play outside with my dog after school--wah!"

Yes, it was that bad. And I almost got sent to an institution for it. Fortunitely, it went away when I turned 16.

I cried again this morning, reading about Katherine Hepburn. I'm like a leaky tap at the moment. I wonder how long it's going to last?

I cry sometimes - usually in cases of high emotion or heavy stress but one thing always guarantee me to get properly choked up are old war vetrans recounting tales of there friends passed - im useless after that, during band of brothers i was particularly rubbish for a good ten weeks or so - then i got the DVD and can still turn on the water works at a drop of a hat

but i like it - i like that intense feeling of relief and warmth after you have cried - as though something heavy has been lifted a touch

having posted yesterday about not having cried much at all recently i had such a horrible nightmare last night about the destruction of a place i really like and nasty, mean people that i woke myself up crying. bah. i shall now shun sleep as well as soppy films (or maybe not).

I had a very incongrous (and tiny) cry last night.

I cry quite easily and I wish I didn't. Or at least I wish I cried differently. It'd be really cool to be able to that thing where you look perfectly dignified and a single tear runs down your cheek. With me though, I become a mess and my nose starts running and I can't talk and...icky

I can't remember the last time I cried in front of anyone but Matt. He's horribly used to my ugly snivelling face by now.

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.

I just find those BB notes so honest and passionate and hopeful. It was weird; I must've read them half a dozen times before and never had it happen.

Jesus I cry all of the time. I get choked up at songs, I cry on my b/day cos I get overwhelmed, I have cried during/after sex, I cry at sad films, I cry when I am happy, I cry when I am feeling frustrated or hopeless, I cry with relief, I cry loads when I argue with my boy, I cry when other people close to me are hurting, I cry when I worry about things that may never happen, I cry when I have a crisis of appearance, I cry for no reason at all. So yeah, crying is classic def & that's all there is to it! *sniff*

(Hey archel, hope you're feeling better today.)

Hey, thankyou I am. Hope your receptionist isn't causing you any grief today!

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 09:36 (twenty years ago) link

Nah, I slapped the bitch upside her head & I think she is now clear where we both stand! ;-)

On the whole, I think that crying is an emotional catharsis, and it's better off just doing it than holding it in.

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.

Totally OTM about anger. I cry when I'm angry too, red hot blazing tears from the fires of HELL, but people don't seem to realise that.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 10:37 (twenty years ago) link

If I cry as a result of anger, then I am a completely different person. I can be in a flaming rage with big, fat tears rolling down my cheeks, but I don't think anyone is under the impression that I am weak!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 10:41 (twenty years ago) link

I cry at demonstrations. It's a weird thing that I can't quite explain, and I think it's more a physiological conditioned response than an actual emotional response. Every time I see a large crowd of people gathered in protest, I have the overwhelming urge to cry.

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

I like it when males cry since it apparently isn't as acceptable for a man to be all emotional than it is a woman. It is as though they are supposed to be all macho, manly, as though crying is a "womany thing". YEAH RIGHT. GIVE US A BREAK.

I cry far too much at the moment, through anger and frustration and general unhappiness. It's got a lot worse recently. Crying used to be cathartic for me, and it's just a pain in the neck just now, as it's just something I do periodically, like yawning or sneezing :)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 20:59 (twenty years ago) link

i can't cry. very frustrating, actually. sometimes i honestly try. but it never happens. the last time i cried was when i was like eight?

― doom-e, Wednesday, 2 July 2003 21:01 (twenty years ago) link

Sometimes I hate how much I cry because it's just one more way I make an obnoxious spectacle of myself without wanting to: I'm a LOUD crier. Other times I feel like it's the most human and maybe even spiritual thing about me. But I still wish people wouldn't stare or feel uncomfortable as a result of it.

― jewelly (jewelly), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 21:55 (twenty years ago) link

I cry - I find it to be cathartic - it helps me to shed negative energy and to recenter myself. I've a little sketh on my wall, and the accompanying text reads "She said she cries a little each day, not because she is sad, but because the world is so beautiful and life is so short." That pretty much sums up a lot of things for me.
