When was the last time you cried?

Question

ArztSchlachthof · Accepted Answer

You might find this funny, but I "cry" (it's not like I'll spend an hour crying, but the tears are visible - I never cry extensively, though) all the time - today's morning when I heard a song about Ciri (Witcher universe), for example. It's not like I'm hurt or depressed, but I find some things so beautiful (it can be "happy" or "sad") the catharsis pushes my tears out. Be it the "I haven't done enough" scene (Schindler's List), the death of Patroclus (Illiad) or Hephaistion (Alexander the Great), the story of Davy Jones, when I'm looking at the stars, having a walk in a forest during nighttime and so on.

I wasn't always like this, though - men are always told not to cry and be strong, but this is so infantile and counterproductive. You have to be sensitive in order to fully acknowledge the reality around you and change the very rules of it, thus make yourself stronger. I became an artist (abstractly said, although I am writing poems, so I am an artist, technically) after embracing this, it has developed me a lot and I'm glad for it.

If your question was targeted more at the "depressive" type of crying, it was like a month ago. Realised I love someone that cannot love me back. The girl was a one of a kind that has raised my standards a lot, which made me even sadder. Tough luck, but it's gone now ;) Usually have such "a great depression" only once a year, so the prognosis for fall and winter are looking great, haha!

Earlier this year when I felt trapped & misunderstood. Didn't help that this song was playing in the background:

There was no stopping the tears. So I layed on my bed, put the covers over my face, and just let it all out.

I think I cried in my dream this week because I slacked off for a few years in my 20s where I was neither working nor going to school nor volunteering nor caring for children or seniors and I realized I was behind in life because I did not maximize the time I had for a productive purpose, one of my previous friends has two Ivy League degrees and if I had lived a better life, we could be married now, I cried in my dream because he was no longer in my life.

Yesterday, in the washroom at college. The reason was the fucked up University doesn't have special treatment for students suffering personal problems such as phone anxiety. I'm sure I'd feel better if I ever get to ruin authority figure.

Jouth · Answer

When my ex broke up with me. But it almost felt forced. I felt like I had to cry because I loved her and she broke my heart. The time I cried before that was when I lost my best friend of 3 years, we'll call her Sarah. She didn't die, but we had to go our separate ways and no longer exist in each other's lives. I had fallen in love with Sarah and it broke me when she was gone. I felt guilty that I cried over losing Sarah and didn't feel like crying over my ex dumping me, which is why I forced myself to, and that's perhaps the saddest part if all of this.

Well, honestly I don't remember but it was long long time ago and I was in my teenage that time. Now I am 34 years old.

For your updates. Really it is an excellent way of offering support. If your profile age is correct which means you are just a teenager and you are offering support it means you really care about people, their feelings and it matters to you.

That's good.

I don´t know years ago. I´m not crying very often because I don´t let many things touch that much that I have to cry. Because I´m not talking much of how I feel I easily forget about that.
