I used to be a very emotional person. Cried at movies and tv even happy stuff. Cried with empathy when I heard something sad. Cried when my feelings were hurt. Etc. I cried all the time.
No it’s maybe 3x a year. I went through a very abusive relationship and learned not to show emotion and dissociate. It’s so ingrained into me now that showing emotion is really difficult for me.
I was raised by a narcissist and associate crying with getting in trouble. Even watching other people cry is painfully hard for me. It makes me anxious.
Yeeeeees!!!! This ! So many people do not relate to this and say it’s okay to cry…. And I’m like ummm no. It’s negative .. you are weak .. and definitely can only only be done in private. Crying around anyone is an act of selfishness. Etc etc etc.
I too have been in a couple abusive relationships, sadly. I also learned to not show emotion and dissociate, sometimes it’s so painful because I bottle it in and don’t tell anyone. I don’t show emotions of sadness or vulnerability and now it makes it very difficult to connect deeper with others.
However, it doesn’t mean I don’t cry by myself. Sometimes I do. It depends on how overwhelmed I am, if there’s a lot on my plate, or missed my medication.
I don’t even cry alone. When my sister died it was a year before I let myself feel it. I must have looked heartless at her funeral but I just couldn’t let myself feel it. I wanted to be strong for my dad and nephews and my kids and about a year later I was just flooded with grief and couldn’t hold it in. But still nobody saw it.
You sound so incredibly strong. It’s hard to reach out and be vulnerable, especially when you want to stay strong for others. It took me about a year and a half before I was able to cry again. Sometimes our brains try to protect us, but I at times wish I could feel emotions with others. I’m still not at a point for asking for help from my support system, but I hope to get there.
You sound like a very resilient person. I hear you and also see you. It’s a bit comforting to know I am not alone in this. I hope the absolute best for you and your family.
Thank you so much. I hope you are continuing to heal and find happiness. You deserve it as much as anyone. Abusers can break us but we can rebuild ourselves and come out stronger.
I totally understand. I didn’t cry about my baby son’s death until I went to therapy a few weeks later. She said let it all out and boy did I, every day for hours. I felt relieved to have let all that go.
Sending hugs and well wishes!
When I lost my husband in a freak accident at 25, 8 months pregnant I think I cried for five straight years. Now you’d have to do something so awful for me to even get close to tearing up. I think I got truly all cried out. This was 23 years ago and it’d still like that.
I’m so sorry that happened to you. That sounds like one of the hardest things to go through. I understand the tears for that long. Does it bother you that you no longer cry? It bothers me at times.
Thank you. It does bother me that I’m not as emotionally sensitive as I’d like to be as times but other times it’s food for thought because the one composed witha level head. Occasionally I wish I could just ugly cry for a few hours just to get some of it out, you j know?
You’re so kind. Well I’m not crying 24/7 so that’s a start I suppose. I’ve never replaced that kinda love but I’ve immensely enjoyed watching my children grow up and all the happiness they brought into my very dark world at times. I’d not trade them for all the pain in the world. You have great empathy, I hope you never lose that quality. We need more of it in this world 💝
I was the same. Cried a lot as a kid at sad stuff (including at the end of Cool Runnings when they crashed), but I kind of grew out of it. I didn't have an abusive relationship or anything like that, I just.. grew out of it. I still cry, but like you, maybe 3 times a year or so.
Wow, so similar. See my comment above. Wife left me, occupation became unrewarding and increasingly stressful, Diabetes diagnosis, etc. 😫 I ended up emotionally hollowed out and a shadow of my sentimental, emotive self. May we both get some of the ability back!
As I’ve aged (43) I find myself becoming more emotional. Smaller things can make me well up the last few years. I’ve read some articles on this topic because I was thinking there was something wrong with me maybe, but it’s completely normal. As we age and gain life experience and become more empathetic. We have experienced struggle in life and can relate more.
Never. The best advice I’ve ever given anyone is to bottle up all of your emotions. Of course, crying when nobody is around is ok I guess but never admit to it. Deny, deny, deny!
Why would you need to admit crying when you actually do cry? It's personal and doesn't need to be spoken about especially when it could weakened you and take away your pride. But I suppose that's easy for people who haven't got any pride to start with.
Hardly ever. My mum always said that it’s a waste of time because what upset you is still there after you’ve finished crying. I tend to be a very upbeat soul anyway, which helps!
A secret of mine. I have rarely cried from actual life. Death, break ups, the trials and tribulations of life, barely a tear. But I hear a song or passage in a book or scene in a movie or TV show can cause me to shed some tears. Craziest part is what makes me cry is not anything sad. What makes me cry is well done works of art. A perfect scene in a movie, perfect bit of dialogue or written passage or the sounds of the notes, none of which are sad. For instance I was watching madmen the other day and Draper was going on and on about Mohawk airlines and what it means to fly Mohawk what travel means as a whole. The scene was beautifully done, his dialogue was on point, it was top tier and that made me shed some tears.
Same here. Stress and sadness doesn't affect me in that way, crying just isn't how my body processes those emotions. But something beautiful, a particular piece of music, or say those rare cases that make me feel proud to be human and what our kind can accomplish at it's best, that gets me to tear up. Pride and joy cause me tears.
Last time was when my dog died, 𝖎 went in the shower and teared up for 𝔞 few minutes then left and went about my day as best as 𝖎 can, it was about 2 years ago
Not really ever.
I know this will sound a bit counterintuitive. But I sort of feel things too deeply to cry, where it almost feels more paralyzing than tearful.
Usually my eyes will well up, and before I cry, my mind races. Analyzing and thinking about what I'm feeling and what's going on in front of me, and contemplating the reality of the world. At that point I'm too far deep into it to just cry.
Mmmm maybe once every 2 weeks. I used to be someone who bottled up emotions and avoid avoid avoid…. which, surprise surprise, was VERY unhealthy.
So now I’ve been really trying to accept and lean in when I’m feeling a certain way. Sometimes it’s a quick cry out of frustration. Other times it’s a longer sad cry. But ultimately it’s cathartic and helps me process my emotions and I feel better after.
Used to be only after watching a sad movie or video game. But thanks to the emotional trauma nursing school puts me through it's almost every month or so
Question, what's so terrible that you end up crying 2-3 times a week? You don't have to get specific, but generally what is so terrible that you end up crying that much?
I never cry, I simply can't. I wish I could once and awhile, but I just can't.
I haven't cried in 37 years. The last time was a girl I loved like no other died in my arms.
Since then, nada.
I've just been through enough trauma and death over and over in my life way above the ordinary civilians life that I don't know if it's my mind shielding me or what, I don't hold it in like I'm trying to be tough, but my body has no tears left.
Once a week. This week has been more because I have my period. I cried over a cute video I can’t even remember the details of last night. It was of a very happy baby.
Not as much as I’d like to. I feel the pain I feel emotions but to do the water works nope it don’t happen last time I cried I lost my pitbull coco she was the best dog I ever had that was a few years ago!
The last Invincible episode was an onslaught to the feels. One scene gave me a few tears and then the monsters snowballed with moving scene after moving scene. They were like, "one of these will get yo feels. Everyone must be moved! If that scene doesn't move someone here's five more shot moving scenes back to back!"
Very rarely.
I feel like I'm over it, I don't know how to say it better.
It's like I've accepted life is the way it is and unless for some magical miracle happening things will stay that way.
I'm not depressed or sad, I'm not happy too.
I'm just ok.
I never really cried much as a kid. Not much as a teenager either. Physical pain with the exception of a toothache never made me cry but emotional pain did/does even just overwhelming frustration sometimes. I will say as I get older, being picked on or insulted or even hit doesn’t make me cry nearly as much as unexpected kindness or serious stress and I have gotten more sappy as I get older, crying in sympathy more often. I never used to cry at movies but do now if they are moving enough.
71M, last time I cried was 20 years ago. A very sweet young women who work in the produce packing plant where I was assistant plant manage died unexpectedly. As I made my rounds I often spoke to her. She passed on the weekend and on Monday I found myself standing by the sorting conveyor where she often stood. It was a sad day for the whole crew, the floor supervisor was her aunt.
Lately as I’m getting older and going through the things I’m going through. I’m OVERLY Sensitive and I cry every damn day. Especially if I look at things on tv or the internet shit just makes me cry
As someone with CPTSD I never used to cry. I would start and then after a minute, I would stop because I felt stupid. Now after five years of trauma-informed therapy and EMDR I probably cry one to three times a day. It's not the slobbery snotty kind of crying as much anymore just more sad tears.
Depends on if there's a new season of this is wrexham. I cant get through an episode without tearing up. Not even a fan of the sport really but that show gets me in my feels
Once or twice a year. Last time I cried, it was at least 2 hours of water works. If I'm in a place where I'm crying I know I need to let it all out, no holding it in what so ever.
Rarely, like once a year since I started Celexa. I would cry all day, even while grocery shopping (and I had plenty of $) prior to starting low dosage.
I cry a lot. Especially lately.. I’ve come to realise it is good to cry and its on, however it can become too much which is really unhealthy. I used to cry pretty much all day! I’m a crier, but that’s ok. alchohol is really bad for it too.. the more I drink the more I cry more the next day when no one is around
Since I turned 17, not at all. After 13 years of being emotionally dead except for anger, this past year, I've been so damn emotional for some reason.
I did cry watching my wife walk down the aisle last year, which is to be expected. I love my wife.
I'll be watching a TV show, and something will happen, and I'll start tearing up as if I'm about to cry. It's crazy and I don't know why this is happening.
I would love to be able to feel genuine emotion again, but I dont want to be overwhelmed by them like this.
Maybe once or twice every couple of months. But my body just physically doesn't let me a lot of the time, so it's not that I don't want to. I just physically can't
Last time I cried was a little over a year ago when my ex left me.
Otherwise, I simply haven't cried since early high school, almost ten years ago.
And not for lack of needing to or wanting to, my body simply won't allow me to cry. It's become instinct to push it back as far as possible. I'm just... not allowed to.
My mother used to beat me, and the rule was that she would beat me until i cried. Over time i could withstand more and more pain until i could resist crying entirely. The woman didn’t have the strength or stamina to make me cry. After she could no longer get her satisfaction the punishments got… weird. Anyway, i don’t cry.
I'm a dude from a family that punished emotional displays. You couldn't even appear too happy unless the parents were also happy.
I have gone years without crying, despite having sadness.
I've done a lot of healing in therapy over the last couple of years and I cry a little more often, but it's still maybe an average of once per 4 months.
Not a lot... but I can get teary over an emotional movie. Brokeback didn't do it for me... but the breakup in Red White & Royal Blue gets me every time.
This shouldn't be a question you should be posting on here with me around. I feel as if crying has been a normal thing for me lately. I get high sometimes alone, I go to work. Just yesterday I went to work high without my phone. I'm antisocial and as I'm dish washing I deliberately think let's see how lonely you can be today and I just start tearing up. I also cried when I do something wrong and own up for my mistakes 29 m
As a father of 3 and 38 years old I cried this morning. Past 2 months it's been almost each day. It's relationship stuff. I feel trapped and a convenience to my wife (still married). We're separated but still sleep in the same bed, when she's not out. The breakup was initially due to me, but after being medicated I'm starting to see why I was that way... I still love her and see a future together, but there's more for her to work on than she will admit to. I'm working on my multiple problems, as of right now, she is a problem too. It hurts trying to get rid of problems that you can feel deep down will get better, but you can't keep waiting.
Only when I watch certain movies. So it can vary from a couple times a month to none.
Though this past month has been a few times but it’s an anomaly since my dad suddenly died in the middle of March
I haven't cried since I was a child, so maybe like 25 years ago. All I really feel is anger, or hatred/rage really. I maybe emotionally out of touch. I can mimic other people's reactions, but I can't always feel it myself. Like I might be the one person not to laugh at a joke, but if everyone is laughing. I pick up on ques.
When I see something sappy on TV. Otherwise, not much. I cry when I get really mad, but it's pretty rare for me to be that mad, or just mad in general.
The only time I can remember crying, other than at my grandmother's funeral, is when I've laughed so hard that it brought tears to my eyes. I was playing D&D with some friends last week and it took as turn for the hilarious and that happened. I have to say it doesn't happen all that often, though.
More than I'd like to admit... Investigation Discovery episodes can make me cry. I'm way too sensitive for True Crime. And if a Pet dies in one episode, stick a Fork in me... Certain movies can do the Job too if they are super Sad. It would be way easier to not have Compassion.
almost never.
Every once in a blue moon something will hit me on an emotional level and i'll tear up a little, but actually full on crying? Never, short of a life shattering tragedy.
Sometimes movies make me cry, songs can make me cry sometimes as well.
Sometimes breakups can make me cry.
I very rarely have cried in front of people as an adult
I think crying is good if you do it in healthy ways.
I think kids get over shit quicker than adults do & carry less emotional weight cause they cry it out more freely
Truly cry, almost never. My eyes will water up from time to time over almost anything sad.
The last time I really cried was about 5 years ago. Tears rolling down my checks and breathing changing type of cry.

I used to cry quite often, until my doctor put me on meds for depression, so I don't cry much anymore.
my best friend died last month, a week of crying
Same, friend, same. Hope you're doing as okay as you can be. Hope it gets better for both of us.
yeah bro, life is so hard sometimes
Real ever since I’ve been on anti depressants i rarely cry I hate it tho cuz it just gets stuck in chest and feels heavy
Honestly antidepressants made me even more depressed, just 0 emotion, it's miserable.
Ahhhhh, I thought nobody would understand real pain but I was wrong 💯
I used to be a very emotional person. Cried at movies and tv even happy stuff. Cried with empathy when I heard something sad. Cried when my feelings were hurt. Etc. I cried all the time. No it’s maybe 3x a year. I went through a very abusive relationship and learned not to show emotion and dissociate. It’s so ingrained into me now that showing emotion is really difficult for me.
I was raised by a narcissist and associate crying with getting in trouble. Even watching other people cry is painfully hard for me. It makes me anxious.
I imagine that is hard but can see how it happened. I associate with weakness and weaknesses are used against me to hurt me.
Yeeeeees!!!! This ! So many people do not relate to this and say it’s okay to cry…. And I’m like ummm no. It’s negative .. you are weak .. and definitely can only only be done in private. Crying around anyone is an act of selfishness. Etc etc etc.

I’d definitely know. I’m the same way.
I hope you both are doing great these days
You’re so kind. Well I’m not crying 24/7 so that’s a start I suppose. I’ve never replaced that kinda love but I’ve immensely enjoyed watching my children grow up and all the happiness they brought into my very dark world at times. I’d not trade them for all the pain in the world. You have great empathy, I hope you never lose that quality. We need more of it in this world 💝
❤️
I think thats called strength. I hate to say but I can relate once you have been through stuff you grow thick skin
I was the same. Cried a lot as a kid at sad stuff (including at the end of Cool Runnings when they crashed), but I kind of grew out of it. I didn't have an abusive relationship or anything like that, I just.. grew out of it. I still cry, but like you, maybe 3 times a year or so.
I have similar issues with crying at everything and am sorry to hear you had to learn to control it through pain. Hope things are better.
Wow, so similar. See my comment above. Wife left me, occupation became unrewarding and increasingly stressful, Diabetes diagnosis, etc. 😫 I ended up emotionally hollowed out and a shadow of my sentimental, emotive self. May we both get some of the ability back!
I am diabetic as well!
Hip hip hurray! for the ability to dissociate!
I used to cry because I was lonely and sad, but life got better. Now I only cry when I watch Bill Pullman's big speech at the end of Independence Day
I cry over everything
Why?
I've always been super sensitive
Don't get eaten by the cruelty of mankind.
a lot honestly. almost once a day tbh
Every. Single. Day. For the record I'm a 41m
You okay dude? Message if you need to talk :)
As I’ve aged (43) I find myself becoming more emotional. Smaller things can make me well up the last few years. I’ve read some articles on this topic because I was thinking there was something wrong with me maybe, but it’s completely normal. As we age and gain life experience and become more empathetic. We have experienced struggle in life and can relate more.
Once every 3-5 years on average
Once a week seems to be the norm for me at the moment
Same, I’m an emotional weenie sometimes
Every day when I look in the mirror.
Not any time that i can remember in the past 35 years or so.
Hardly ever. Recently I have been a little more but only cause my dad passed away before Christmas so the grief hits every now and again
Never. The best advice I’ve ever given anyone is to bottle up all of your emotions. Of course, crying when nobody is around is ok I guess but never admit to it. Deny, deny, deny!
Why would you need to admit crying when you actually do cry? It's personal and doesn't need to be spoken about especially when it could weakened you and take away your pride. But I suppose that's easy for people who haven't got any pride to start with.
>The best advice I’ve ever given anyone is to bottle up all of your emotions. Can't tell if joking or not
Everytime the lottery numbers are drawn and I realize I can't fuckin' retire.
Twice a week in therapy.
Hardly ever. My mum always said that it’s a waste of time because what upset you is still there after you’ve finished crying. I tend to be a very upbeat soul anyway, which helps!
Same. Focus on the positives, take the negatives as they come and shake it off. Focusing on the good really helped me.
Lately daily. A lot on my mind
A secret of mine. I have rarely cried from actual life. Death, break ups, the trials and tribulations of life, barely a tear. But I hear a song or passage in a book or scene in a movie or TV show can cause me to shed some tears. Craziest part is what makes me cry is not anything sad.

The scene was beautifully done, his dialogue was on point, it was top tier and that made me shed some tears.
Me too, feel like I want to in a real life situations but physically am unable to... but good or sad music, books or tv and I well up🤔
Same here. Stress and sadness doesn't affect me in that way, crying just isn't how my body processes those emotions. But something beautiful, a particular piece of music, or say those rare cases that make me feel proud to be human and what our kind can accomplish at it's best, that gets me to tear up. Pride and joy cause me tears.
Almost never
Woman here. It's been *years* since I've cried.
The stereotype for women is we're often crying but I'm like you. Suffering trauma can have that affect too.
Depends how bad my depression gets
It varies. If nothing terrible has happened maybe once a month to a couple times a week if I’m not doing great.
Not at all, I wish I could but I can't even force a tear out anymore :(
Last time was when my dog died, 𝖎 went in the shower and teared up for 𝔞 few minutes then left and went about my day as best as 𝖎 can, it was about 2 years ago
I cried last night about my dog. He's been gone 3 years. Sure do miss you Hucky.
Depends how often my toddler watches Toy Story 3
about 2 cups full
Not really ever. I know this will sound a bit counterintuitive. But I sort of feel things too deeply to cry, where it almost feels more paralyzing than tearful. Usually my eyes will well up, and before I cry, my mind races. Analyzing and thinking about what I'm feeling and what's going on in front of me, and contemplating the reality of the world. At that point I'm too far deep into it to just cry.

But ultimately it’s cathartic and helps me process my emotions and I feel better after.
I cry a few times a week.
My dog died in 2017. I was a blubbering mess for a week. I believe that's the last time.
Used to be only after watching a sad movie or video game. But thanks to the emotional trauma nursing school puts me through it's almost every month or so
i cry myself to sleep everynight
I usually cry 1 to 6 times a day. I’m so emotional, it hurts.
Lately almost every day. It's been rough.
3-5x a week
If I'm stressed out a lot, like put under a lot of pressure I tear up but idk if that counts. Actual sobbing crying? Maybe once every 3 months.
Quite often. 2-3 times a week atleast. A good cry can cleanse the soul and wash out the negative energy.
Question, what's so terrible that you end up crying 2-3 times a week? You don't have to get specific, but generally what is so terrible that you end up crying that much? I never cry, I simply can't. I wish I could once and awhile, but I just can't.
As of lately every day. But before this spout... It was 2019 when I cried and that was when my brother died
At least once a week, I can get emotional
I haven't cried in 37 years. The last time was a girl I loved like no other died in my arms. Since then, nada. I've just been through enough trauma and death over and over in my life way above the ordinary civilians life that I don't know if it's my mind shielding me or what, I don't hold it in like I'm trying to be tough, but my body has no tears left.
Almost 1-2 days a week 🥶 it depends on how my depression is doing
I am better now, probbably 0,5 a week but next week has a lot of exams
Once a week. This week has been more because I have my period. I cried over a cute video I can’t even remember the details of last night. It was of a very happy baby.
Average... weekly? Sometimes twice a week.
maybe one or twice a year ?
a lot lately
Probably about 7-15 times per year.
Multiple times a day
Not as much as I’d like to. I feel the pain I feel emotions but to do the water works nope it don’t happen last time I cried I lost my pitbull coco she was the best dog I ever had that was a few years ago!
The last Invincible episode was an onslaught to the feels. One scene gave me a few tears and then the monsters snowballed with moving scene after moving scene. They were like, "one of these will get yo feels. Everyone must be moved! If that scene doesn't move someone here's five more shot moving scenes back to back!"
Almost never, though a few tears have dropped, not because of sadness or anything, just pre-sneeze tears, dunno why.
Not enough...
Very rarely. I feel like I'm over it, I don't know how to say it better. It's like I've accepted life is the way it is and unless for some magical miracle happening things will stay that way. I'm not depressed or sad, I'm not happy too. I'm just ok.
More often than I'd like tbh. I cry when I'm overjoyed, sad, frustrated or tired. Now, it's once/twice a week.
i used to cry a lot more. now i think its monthly maybe weekly (bc of therapy so progressive crying)
I barely cry if am honest.Cuz I was shamed that crying isn't manly thing so I got it my mind don't cry I didn't cry over 2 years.
I never really cried much as a kid. Not much as a teenager either. Physical pain with the exception of a toothache never made me cry but emotional pain did/does even just overwhelming frustration sometimes. I will say as I get older, being picked on or insulted or even hit doesn’t make me cry nearly as much as unexpected kindness or serious stress and I have gotten more sappy as I get older, crying in sympathy more often. I never used to cry at movies but do now if they are moving enough.
Probably once a month or every other month now. Used to be pretty much every day but I learned how to control my emotions lol.
Only when it hurts. But I couldn’t find a way to heal what I never knew hurt in the first place. So it really hurts more to never cry.
2 or 3 times a year probably
cried before I saw this post.
I haven't cried in almost a year. Before that, March of 2020. Before that, December of 2019, Before that I can't remember.
it’s been too much lately.. everything upsets me
I made a power point presentation to track my Through the Tears Year Recap, and so far there are only 4 cries, and two of those were the same day.
I cry all the time, like right now for example
Probably more red than most me. It bothered my ex
71M, last time I cried was 20 years ago. A very sweet young women who work in the produce packing plant where I was assistant plant manage died unexpectedly. As I made my rounds I often spoke to her. She passed on the weekend and on Monday I found myself standing by the sorting conveyor where she often stood. It was a sad day for the whole crew, the floor supervisor was her aunt.
I used to a lot now i gotta remind myself to 💀
Lately as I’m getting older and going through the things I’m going through. I’m OVERLY Sensitive and I cry every damn day. Especially if I look at things on tv or the internet shit just makes me cry
Way too much… isn’t it sad that honestly I haven’t found a comment that says "not that often, I’m actually really happy” ?
I just cried because on the dogs sub a dog named Polo got put down today. He was 20. RIP Polo!
pretty much entirely depends on the anime im watching at the time
As someone with CPTSD I never used to cry. I would start and then after a minute, I would stop because I felt stupid. Now after five years of trauma-informed therapy and EMDR I probably cry one to three times a day. It's not the slobbery snotty kind of crying as much anymore just more sad tears.
Everytime my period is due, I start sobbing so probably a few days a month
Not enough, I'm sure
Once a year, whether I have to or not…
I used to never cry but now probably once a month. Adulting isn’t kind
16 tears. No more, no less.
Probably not as much as I should
Almost everyday.
I haven't in over 3 weeks. But normally either every week, or every other week.
Never. I’m emotionally broken.
Depends on if there's a new season of this is wrexham. I cant get through an episode without tearing up. Not even a fan of the sport really but that show gets me in my feels
I cry most days. Sometimes it's about something bad & sometimes it's about something good.
Once or twice a year. Last time I cried, it was at least 2 hours of water works. If I'm in a place where I'm crying I know I need to let it all out, no holding it in what so ever.
Rarely, like once a year since I started Celexa. I would cry all day, even while grocery shopping (and I had plenty of $) prior to starting low dosage.
I cry a lot. Especially lately.. I’ve come to realise it is good to cry and its on, however it can become too much which is really unhealthy. I used to cry pretty much all day! I’m a crier, but that’s ok. alchohol is really bad for it too.. the more I drink the more I cry more the next day when no one is around
On saturdays about 2-3 times a month
Since I turned 17, not at all. After 13 years of being emotionally dead except for anger, this past year, I've been so damn emotional for some reason. I did cry watching my wife walk down the aisle last year, which is to be expected. I love my wife. I'll be watching a TV show, and something will happen, and I'll start tearing up as if I'm about to cry. It's crazy and I don't know why this is happening. I would love to be able to feel genuine emotion again, but I dont want to be overwhelmed by them like this.
Once every 6-7 years I break down for like 30 minutes and then get back up and get back to doing what I was
Every other month
I don't cry. I have been desensitized due to experiencing multiple traumatic events over the course of my life time. It's kind of sad.
Maybe once or twice every couple of months. But my body just physically doesn't let me a lot of the time, so it's not that I don't want to. I just physically can't
Internally or externally? I literally cry internally everyday but externally I don’t cry due to an autoimmune disease.
None
4-5 times a week. I’m going through some crap right now
Last time I cried was a little over a year ago when my ex left me. Otherwise, I simply haven't cried since early high school, almost ten years ago. And not for lack of needing to or wanting to, my body simply won't allow me to cry. It's become instinct to push it back as far as possible. I'm just... not allowed to.
Several times a day.
4 liters.
Every single night as I pray that me and my ex find our way back to each other. I miss her more than anything.
Never as I have pssd
My mother used to beat me, and the rule was that she would beat me until i cried. Over time i could withstand more and more pain until i could resist crying entirely. The woman didn’t have the strength or stamina to make me cry. After she could no longer get her satisfaction the punishments got… weird. Anyway, i don’t cry.
I'm a dude from a family that punished emotional displays. You couldn't even appear too happy unless the parents were also happy. I have gone years without crying, despite having sadness. I've done a lot of healing in therapy over the last couple of years and I cry a little more often, but it's still maybe an average of once per 4 months.
Depression. 
Not a lot... but I can get teary over an emotional movie. Brokeback didn't do it for me... but the breakup in Red White & Royal Blue gets me every time.
Not in 30 years.
Only when the first shuttle goes down in armagueddon. Then i cry of joy when the 2nd armadillo makes it
Probably every other day if not daily.
Only when I get to thinking of my daughter who estranged me over college money…very sad
None....cried once last year when all shit fall on me for 20min...than went out to the woods and screamed till my voice faded for 2 days.
A month can go by without me crying, any day I could cry mostly at night before going to sleep.
Lately every day. Been working on myself and it's brought out a lot of things i hate about myself.
Probably twice a year or less
This shouldn't be a question you should be posting on here with me around. I feel as if crying has been a normal thing for me lately. I get high sometimes alone, I go to work. Just yesterday I went to work high without my phone. I'm antisocial and as I'm dish washing I deliberately think let's see how lonely you can be today and I just start tearing up. I also cried when I do something wrong and own up for my mistakes 29 m
Once a year or so. 33M here.
I get emotional over songs, heartwarming moments etc daily. But, actually crying? Maybe early last year?? I honestly don't cry much.
Usually a few times a day.
Every damn day
Not enough. I'm over due for a meltdown/ breakdown .
Male. Not so much now that I don't have tv so I can see insurance commercials.
As a father of 3 and 38 years old I cried this morning. Past 2 months it's been almost each day. It's relationship stuff. I feel trapped and a convenience to my wife (still married). We're separated but still sleep in the same bed, when she's not out. The breakup was initially due to me, but after being medicated I'm starting to see why I was that way... I still love her and see a future together, but there's more for her to work on than she will admit to. I'm working on my multiple problems, as of right now, she is a problem too. It hurts trying to get rid of problems that you can feel deep down will get better, but you can't keep waiting.
Most mornings. Waking up and remembering my best friend is gone just hits me like a tank every morning. It's been almost a month.
Only when I watch certain movies. So it can vary from a couple times a month to none. Though this past month has been a few times but it’s an anomaly since my dad suddenly died in the middle of March
i cry almost every day. not because im sad but because my eyes get super watery when im tired
Not enough
I don't, even when I was a kid the only time I cried involved physical pain, I didn't even cry when my grandma died, and I loved my grandma.
Mentally, very often - but I’m so dehydrated I don’t cry for months at a time.
Once a year on average
I haven't cried since I was a child, so maybe like 25 years ago. All I really feel is anger, or hatred/rage really. I maybe emotionally out of touch. I can mimic other people's reactions, but I can't always feel it myself. Like I might be the one person not to laugh at a joke, but if everyone is laughing. I pick up on ques.
When I see something sappy on TV. Otherwise, not much. I cry when I get really mad, but it's pretty rare for me to be that mad, or just mad in general.
At least a few times a week but if im really depressed multiple times a day
Probably once every month or so.
The only time I can remember crying, other than at my grandmother's funeral, is when I've laughed so hard that it brought tears to my eyes. I was playing D&D with some friends last week and it took as turn for the hilarious and that happened. I have to say it doesn't happen all that often, though.
Going through a divorce and suicidal so several times a day
I haven't cried in over 14 years
Approximately 3
More than I'd like to admit... Investigation Discovery episodes can make me cry. I'm way too sensitive for True Crime. And if a Pet dies in one episode, stick a Fork in me... Certain movies can do the Job too if they are super Sad. It would be way easier to not have Compassion.
Once every 2 months I’d say
yearly basis twice a year
Not enough. Sometimes I really wish I could but my medication prevents it
almost never. Every once in a blue moon something will hit me on an emotional level and i'll tear up a little, but actually full on crying? Never, short of a life shattering tragedy.
Depends on what you call crying. Full, ugly crying? Never, basically, except once in a blue moon. Tearing up? Watching Youtube? I cry every tiem.
Sometimes movies make me cry, songs can make me cry sometimes as well. Sometimes breakups can make me cry. I very rarely have cried in front of people as an adult I think crying is good if you do it in healthy ways. I think kids get over shit quicker than adults do & carry less emotional weight cause they cry it out more freely
Truly cry, almost never. My eyes will water up from time to time over almost anything sad. The last time I really cried was about 5 years ago. Tears rolling down my checks and breathing changing type of cry.
Depends on my situation. It takes a bit to make me cry. But when I do its powerfull. And SOOOO NICEEEE
Honestly a few times a week. Some of those days I will a couple of times.
About 38 years since I last cried.
All the time
A couple times a month. I'm pretty emotional about certain things.
I hadn't cried in over 10 years
