What was the reason for the last time you cried?

Question

We’re only human. Everyone cries, or at least everyone should; some more than others, and sometimes for very different reasons.
I’m unusually accepting anonymous contributions to this post because not everyone receives the same permissions to cry. So please be honest and respectful of others. Don’t bother to respond if you aren’t capable of that.

What was the reason for the last time you cried?

Screenwriter · Accepted Answer

The most recent time I cried was with a young man who regularly walked his two dogs in my neighborhood. One of the dogs was missing and I asked where it was. It had died over the weekend from some pancreatic issue that popped up suddenly. He burst into tears and I hugged him and cried along with him.

He seems a sweet man and his dogs are his thing. The dog that died always bayed when it saw me because I'd given him dog cookies in the past. That dog NEVER forgot that and always was looking for more! It was funny.

He said the dog loved me. I said, no, it was just the dog cookies and he said, same thing, which was a funny comment that made me laugh. But it was terribly sad how heartbroken he was.

I usually cry with anything animal related. I've even been known to cry over dead frogs in the road.

I have fairly frequent bouts of eye leakage.

The last time was in the past week, lasting only a couple of seconds, while talking with a loved one about my dad, who passed at age 42 in 1970, when I was 11 years old.
That's now over 55 years ago.
I loved him dearly.
I'll always be an 11-year-old boy whenever I think about him.

Love ya, Dad.
Love ya, Mom.

As for me I made sausage, peppers & onions the other day & while cutting the onions my eyes started watering so I guess that could be justified as crying.

When my youngest graduated from college. We had a party for him and my other two kids were there and they all looked so happy and it was such a long slog to get the three of them through college. i recently had a hip replacement and I was just overcome with everything. I had to go and hide in the bathroom for a while.

A lot of times the older I get, it’s because of nostalgia or missing old times… I hear music or think of certain memories and it just makes me miss those times and certain people.

I visited California a couple years ago for example, and went to a place I used to frequent with my dad, who passed away a few years ago, and it was actually a pretty emotional experience for me. I held it together but man, it really hit me in a way I didn’t expect…

FreyaRed · Answer

Maybe 30 seconds next day after my mother died and I had to order funeral, cremation and urn for her. Otherwise I didn't cry a while before and after, maybe as I cut fresh onions or wind blow some stuff in my eyes.

2 days ago. I get major trauma flashbacks once a while that would leave me non functional. I would cry all day and hog the bathtub for hours. If there’s no baths in my current place i’d be sitting on the back porch or the balcony all day getting stoned. And if i had to function that day, i would have a shitton of caffeine and cigarettes before showing up at work.

It was a few days ago when I was interacting with someone who comes from a very humble background and seeing the happiness on their face with something as simple as a pyjama.

I tear up sometimes even today but i usually don't cry very loud. Some of it has to do with my health issues and a near death experience i had years ago.

fishcake_buttie · Answer

I cry frequently because we could all love one another and create a paradise without hidden hands that sow seeds of division and hatred. I also know something most people don't and know why it will never be like that here and that there is another world for those that are willing to give up the ways of this world.

Honestly? Around last year, Because out of all my friends I’ve always been the one that’s single. Over time it gets worse and worse, but I can say that I’m slowly becoming numb to guys not wanting to be with me or thinking I’m pretty. I hope by the age of 25 I master being completely numb to it.

OneViewpoint · Answer

I don't remember the last time I cried. I'm usually too busy dealing with the fallout of every sad situation I encounter to waste any time indulging my emotions. I've seen a lot of death and suffering. I guess I've become desensitized to it.
