troutman Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 QUOTE (Workaholic Man @ May 31 2012, 05:49 PM)QUOTE (troutman @ May 31 2012, 08:33 PM) Personally I think it's healthy, Regardless of one's situation. Happiness, pain, hate, suffering, a loss ect. I think after a bit of time. A person depending on there being. Feels better and relieved. JMO of course. Crying is the body's built-in pressure relief valve. If you don't open up the valve from time to time, you'll explode for real....and it won't be a pretty sight..... You stated it perfectly!

laughedatbytime Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 QUOTE (ILSnwdog @ May 31 2012, 11:09 AM) I've only cried once in the last twenty five years. I had to put my cat Mao down back in November 2010. I cried for about 20 seconds. I've put other animals down, and never cried. I never cried when I lost my grandparents either. So, other than the Mao thing...I don't do it. My wife on the other hand. You had a cat named Mao? I can see others naming their cat that, but not you!

invisible airwave Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Closest I came to crying last time was yesterday when I saw War Horse. Was sad to see the young man say goodbye to his horse when the war began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unattractive Truth Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I wasn't much of a crier, until both my mother and sister died. Those events seemed to open a valve or something. Now, I cry at lots of things. I mean, I'm not boo-hooing all the time or anything, but things move me much more deeply than they used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still be tough, but cry. I used to never cry. It's like laughing. I don't laugh much anymore, I used to be a laugher. You don't see anyone making fun of anyone else for laughing, but cry and it is a different story. Whoa! Where've you been? Long time no see. (Or am I simply not lookin' in the right forums?) Anyway, nice to see you again! Heya Jack!!! I stop in from time to time. I see the majority of TRF peeps on Facebook. I can't stay away from you all for too long.

BeOhBe Bob Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 OK to the non criers in public because everyone else gets so emotional Did you feel as if maybe because of their "big show of tears", did it take away from your own feelings? When my Mom died it felt like that to me, my sister all blubbery and wailing, even my father, and wow what a hypocrite, all I ever heard from him was how much of a POS she was... Then when my first wife passed..my brother in law, hell wailed like a baby (another hypocrite..big public show)..sister in law Spock-like in public, but threw me a guilt trip like no other...not even my own mother! And it just made me feel as if my own grief was unworthy. Alone yes I can, sometimes with Diane I need to stifle...as Archie would say but then I hear her sniffle too...

I don't mean sociopath in the terms of, say, "psycho axe-murderer". There are very mild forms in which people can have the disorder yet still be pretty much fine. It simply stems from an emotional problem, usually a trauma suffered early in life. Lots of people suffer from it without even realizing it.

IMO, it is completely irresponsible to associate a person's lack of crying with a psychiatric disorder such as sociopathy. Many people don't cry.....and for many reasons. From my experience, it's primarily because the people simply don't want to show their strong feelings in public - nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely looks like English, but I can't quite understand what the heck you are trying to say. Yeah sorry maybe I rambled or something, didn't think about WHAT I was writing as much as REACTING to what you guys already wrote. Plainer and simpler. Do other's reactions to the whatever bad news is happening...especially if they're insincere...does it somehow in your mind diminish the validity of how you feel, or "dampen" how you feel? Or maybe even completely change how you feel. With Mom passing and my older sister bawling her eyes out dear old Dad doing the same business, made me feel as if I had to "be strong for the family" and again with my wife.

I didn't cry at any of my grandparents' funerals. Sad movies or videos don't really make me cry, maybe tear up a bit, but I don't bawl my eyes out for anything really. There's a few random things on the internet that always make me tear up, and the "I waited for you, Fry" episode does it to me every time Hell, I can't even remember the last time I really cried. And I've been in some terrible, hurtful relationships.
