ranch dressing is disgusting.

I will just guess that the last time you cried was when you accidentally got Ranch dressing.

Hummmmm last time I cried was Sept. 9th @ 2:13pm when I watched my grandson being born. Is that specific enough?

no.

what kind of cry?
for how long?
what hospital?
room?
were you standing?
what were you wearing?
haha.

I believe the people who say they haven't cried for years.

Some people almost never feel the desire. And others want to, but its much easier to not cry. I've faced some really emotional situations where, even though it was intense, and even though it would have been healthy for me to cry, I still had to try really hard to connect with my feelings in that way.

In certain kinds of situations, I really enjoy being free to cry. But if I had some incentive, any incentive at all (including some kind of self image thing) to not cry, I could have easily gone for a decade without crying.

I'm glad I haven't had that incentive.

i don't think crying can be controlled.
maybe that's just my stupid tear ducts though.

there was a time when i was 18 or 19 years old, something sad happened, and i cried a great deal. at that time, under those circumstances, I had no control over my crying, at all.

but thats the last time that happened, that i remember. ever since then, i can choose to not cry, instead, most anytime i feel like crying (not counting the effect of wind or onions - i mean emotional crying). i can change how i relate to my emotions, so that they don't effect me the same way.

you've gotten used to it.

I've gotten used to the feelings of sadness, and now they don't lead me to tears? That doesn't sound quite right to me.

I also don't think I've felt such extreme sadness as a result of events in my personal life. Now it seems I'm more likely to have sadness for other people, than for myself.

I emotionally prepare myself for inevitable sad events, so they don't hit me suddenly, blindside me.

I make choices that make some especially hurtful kinds of sadness less likely - including how I choose my friends and my partners. There is more.. 'getting used to it' might be part of it, but its not the full story.

I feel like we have certain inner, subtle emotional responses to events which are then going to require some kind of further processing - that processing can take the form of crying. For better or worse I've also learned how to not cry, and yet find other ways for processing those emotions.

In a more recent situation where I felt it was necessary to 'break up' with someone (transform our relationship from one kind of friendship to another kind of friendship), I had a lot of sadness. I would go out this huge field in the middle of the night and sit there under the stars for long periods of time, alone. Without crying, it was healing in the same way that crying can be healing.

I think crying is healthy, and people shouldn't doubt themselves when they feel moved to cry. My point is just that, for better or worse, there are other ways of processing those emotions.

Porque yo no puede cantar.

Thats all I have done this summer is cry. And most times at the littlest things, his favorite meal I made for him, watching his boys play hockey and he is not there, watching our favorite tv program without him. This afternoon was the most recient. Out of work, only 6 months past my fiance's death, down to my last bit of cash and my rear struts broke. Tears of frustration.

Now I get to choose,pay the rent so I can have a roof over my head, fix the car so I can go to a job I have interviewed for or food. Sheesh.

):
i hope things get better for you.

Lost my father a couple months now ..next week. I can't stop the tearful moments.
