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:

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.

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.20 years ago when my wife woke me up told me Craig had kissed her and then said she wanted a divorce and walked out the door.
My life ended that day.I'm in my senior years, and many of my friends and relatives are passing away. After many of these funerals of close friends the crying becomes more often.
it was earlier today (oT-T)

bad stuff I've experienced
with my frienddYesterday.. when I was watching a film. I immediately get teary eyes if any emotional scene occurs.
30 seconds ago, it’s been a year since my canine best friend died and I’m not taking it so well

Today actually, I was laughing so hard at a stupid ass liberal I had tears coming outta my eyes.
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.
I visited family for the first time in 18 months (after covid) last week, met my new niece for the first time and got to hug my parents, now I'm too proud to say I cried but I definitely had something in my eye! lol
It was days ago when I listen to certain music it makes me sad or see something sad on TV
It was at the funeral of a friend who was killed in a car accident, about 14 years ago. It was a hit-and-run - the person was never caught.

This afternoon. I live with insane people who ruin my days and my well being.
Last time I really cried for more than 10 minutes was 3 days ago.
I will not divulge this. I will say that I have cried 3 times in the last 5 years.
When i was around 10.
Promised myself not to give them the satisfaction of tears while they beat my ass. Got a nickname "the boy who never cries" shortly after, they did try.
I won.If you mean emotionally I kind of forgot. But not an emotional one, happened like 2 days ago because I have a runny nose. Tears just came out
Last week. I cry because of my insecurities for being single.
When I found out my sister has cancer back in April
