When do you find yourself crying?

Some people tear up when someone says a nasty comment to them. Other people cry and cry watching a sad film.

It used to be that nothing really made me cry, you had to try really hard. I'd just kinda sit with the anxiety until it ate me up. Pretty self destructive time. After some recent events I'm always crying dude. I guess it all kinda ties into that event, but sometimes it's just as simple as, "Damn, I find people overwhelming but I also feel like I'm coming off as taking there kindness and compassion for granted.". Maybe thats not simple, but it's a very consenstant thought. I've been feeling like I have to relearn how to be a person again. Right now I just feel like a ball of anxiety and cry baby tears.

Watching a sad movie. And when I have reached the limit and can't carry the pain anymore. This happens after days of feeling like I can't pull through the day, but somehow managing, then someone doing something really humiliating or hurtful which happens a lot with the people I live.

@YinYangPanda yes when we feel people do not like us that can be very sad.

Anytime I think about the fact that the miserable lonely life I lead is actually better than being a participating party in a society that practices violence and hatred while somewhat aligning with tolerance yet preaches acceptance.

That simple but very realistic truth makes me cry.

@soulsings I am not a person who cries much. I had not cried for about ten years and then my dad passed away. The night he passed I cried my eyes out. He has been gone for 9 years. Last year my 19 teen year old great niece died in a car accident and I cried again. So, for the most part crying has always been around someone passing away. But here in the past week I have been very tearful. I have been working on abuse from my childhood. I was able to hold it back for a week but then I walked into my therapist office and lost it. There was no holding them back and I really didn't try to keep myself from sheading them. So, this is where I am at with crying.

@worthlessbeing08 when things are going well I usually do not cry unless something moves me a lot.

i sometimes cry when being yelled at or just getting overwhelmed by bottled up emotions and I have noticed that it’s because of my past that I react this way I do want to find ways to move on from it

@amusingJar1048 I used to bottle up the emotions and then they would explode. Rather than do that I try to observe my thoughts and avoid angry thoughts and words so the emotiions are not getting bottled up.

I cry when think of all the things i have messed up in my life and can never fix. I also cry when i think of the future and all the failures I have ahead of me.

@Gettingbettertoday I have remorse over mistakes I made too and sometimes it is hard to shake those.

But when I make a determined effort not to repeat them and I understand what the mistake is I have some success.

When people say i'll be fine. When people say my hair is pretty but never anything else because nothing else about me is pretty. When teachers ask why i don't talk to anyone when it's neutral and no one talks to me. When i go to bed after a day of feeling dead inside.

@DarkSoul2625 I am not excited about people white washing over problems but sometimes it feels good to get compliments.

It used to mean a little. But there's nothing special about it, it's a little long and usually a bit messy. I'd rather people continuing to ignore me than give me the same half-hearted compliment.
