How often do you cry? How often is too often?

Men can only cry when their dog dies.

I cry usually at church during praise and worship

Man up, Petunia!

I cry all the time. At least a few times a week.

Maybe once you're out of that awful job, John. Now come to bed.

I cry almost every day. Today, I cried after reading an article about Syrian kids prostituting themselves in Lebanon. I laugh every day as well so it's not like I'm a complete mess but in my average day I tend to run the full gamut of emotions. Isn't that normal?

It's normal if you are a lady.

Only sissies cry.

Crying everyday isn't normal... Sorry

Evry night.my mussy so lonely

I cry couple of times a year. Don't remember if I've really cried this year properly. I should, crying releases tension and calms you down.

I do tear up watching certain movies. One of the more satisfying movie cries I had was watching Olympus Has Fallen last year. What can I say, I'm into heroism.

I'm certainly not a stone face but I admit I don't like the feeling of constantly feeling too much. There are periods of time when life is shit and I feel like I'm on the verge of tears many times a day. At those times I'm usually feeling angry a lot. A satisfying cry usually is a good solution although nice workout might do the same as well.

I cried last night watching Finding Nemo, go figure. And i'm not 12.

Only from watching sad movies or tv shows. Almost never for personal/life reasons. I can't even remember the last time that happened.

It's too often if you have stopped experiencing feelings of contentment and have lost your sense of humor OP. Then it's depression. Nothing wrong with crying regularly, life can be very tough and it releases calming chemicals. Just make sure you are also experiencing feelings of wellbeing, and are getting some fun.

As I've gotten older (only 38!), I've started to cry at anything and everything. Movies, tv shows, commercials. I even cry over big sporting events now - Super Bowl, World Series,etc.

I cried more when I was younger (20s and 30s). Then something within shifted and I realized that crying was emotionally and physically draining.

Now, in my 50s, I am more sentimental, empathetic towards people but the crying and physical impact is just too exhausting. I also realized, looking back over my life, that crying over failed relationships was a huge waste of time. I once saw a psychologist right after a break, but was OK even relieved.

The psychologist asked me how I pulled through that and other challenges. I just simply said that every morning when I wake up, "I press the Happy Button." She sat there for a few seconds in stunned silence and calmly told me: "Most people don't realize they have the power to control their reactions or emotions." She told our consultation was over since I didn't need her help.

When I first quit drinking, I cried every day for six months. It was over the top. I wasn't even depressed all the time, but I cried very easily. I guess my body was so used to burying all emotions in liquor that I didn't know how to handle emotions anymore.

I tend to cry when I laugh, I guess there's so little to laugh about these days that I confuse/mix laughing with crying. I just like a good laugh!

I cry whenever I watch the nightly news with David muir - I just find the state of everything so upsetting.

I’m watching great British bake-off on Netflix and I cry at the end when someone leaves.

MARY!!!! I know I know.

It’s called The Covid19 Cries.

it was my father who had feelings, while my mother was callous. he cried not too often but unaffectedly and i get that from him.

Crying occasionally over “little” things is a sign that you’re tuned into and open to life.

Since I was a kid, I rarely cry. I cried on 9/11 - in front of a co-worker no less! And I cried at the hospital when my grandmother was dying about 5 years ago. Then we had a family emergency this year, and I cried then too. So 3 times every 20 years, or so.

Even before all this, I was having a rough time, but for some reason I didn’t cry much. Now, there is plenty to cry about and I think it would help but I can’t get myself there, unfortunately.

Normally I’m a stoic bitch. But I cried recently, when we finished cleaning out my dead mother’s house. And we are going to adopt a cat soon, and I had to stop looking at the websites of cats needing homes, and their individual stories. I’d say every couple of months.

I was going to write something to OP about "Crying in the time of COVID" but then I realized this is a 2015 bump troll thread

r20 OP posted this in 2015

R27 so we don’t cry in 2020?

In 2020, a lot! The world has turned upside down and we're all on edge. Be nice to yourself, honey! A good cry is sometimes the only way to flush out your anxieties.

What r29 said.
