Are you an emotional person? Someone who feels crying can reduce pain and stress? Do you often cry, even at small things? Or are you someone who stays strong and brave and avoids crying for as long as possible?
I’ll cry if I’m really stressed out, but I’ll usually keep working while I cry to be more efficient? I guess I also cry if I’m really upset or laughing too hard. One time I made a pun so bad that I had small tears in my eyes!
I have slightly more emotion than a Borg drone, but only slightly. Generally I am not someone who expresses my feelings. Feelings for me are more an internalised struggle that my mind frequently attempts - with varying degrees of success - to rationalise away. I don't think being openly emotional is weak, though - far from it, in fact. It can take an incredible amount of bravery to be honest with your feelings and trust others not to exploit your vulnerability. That's just not the way I choose to live my life: I like to keep people at a distance. Honestly, explaining emotions to other people who pick up on them is an exhausting activity that is fraught with misunderstandings, and I just don't have the time or energy for it, so it's easier if I don't let people see if I'm upset.
I don't like to cry, but I do occasionally, though only when it's horrible will I actually shed tears. (Yes, I am able to cry without tears. It all links to the emotions I feel at the time of crying.) But other than that, I cry long and hard. It doesn't reduce stress, but it allows me to sort of empty the space that should never be filled. Emotions control people, and I don't like to be controlled by something that is out of my control. They just swell up, and crying is the only way to release it. (Why do I think of Mob Psycho when I say that? I'm not psychic in any way) So, yeah, that's me in a nutshell. I cry, just not very often. It's all emotion driven and if I have an overload of other emotions.
Will you tell us the pun? It's for, uh, scientific purposes. I am an emotionally driven person, but I hardly ever cry (though I get to the brink of it pretty easily when it's an emotional reason), and never for pain or my own misery (I'm confident I could get shot and then have the bullet removed without anesthesia without shedding a tear of pain or even vocalizing more than restrained grunts and moans). The last three times I did cry, which are all spread apart over years are the last funeral I went to, the wedding of my ex girlfriend who I still had feelings for, and the Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue". If you've seen it, you know exactly what part I'm talking about. I think I need to find a reason to cry soon, just for the emotional release. I've just had a recurring thought over the past few months of "I could go for a good cry", but even then what kind of cry? A cry of sorrow? Of joy? Of beholding beauty?
The four times that I cried was when I was having mental breakdowns right before we leave school for a football game or a competition and that was happening...over a year ago. Yeah, I don't cry too often and when I do, I'm seriously stressed or something.
I'm definitely a very emotional person, and probably tend to cry more easily than others. Wouldn't say I do it often though, but what can make me cry probably wouldn't make most others cry. Having anxiety and being a generally sensitive person is pretty much asking for it, haha. (⌣_⌣”) It's hard but I make do. Am good at keeping it in though, and fortunately have never cried at work or another public space.
I've learned how to express a wide array of emotions over the last seven years, after their being stunted by my depression since the age of 11. I still find it difficult sometimes, but I can now express them when appropriate while still staying true to myself and not needing to worry about forcing them.
I don't feel like I cry all that much, but I do cry if I'm really emotional and feel like I'm not being listened to, or when I'm stressed and don't understand something, or when I'm feeling anxious, or overwhelmed, or when my favorite character in a show or book gets treated horribly...okay, wow, I kinda cry all the time, apparently. So, yeah, I'm definitely not afraid to express my feelings.
I'm a weird crier? I rarely cry when I'm actually upset; feeling that way usually means I'm feeling emotions that don't signal "crying" to me. I also used to be very good at not crying at emotional but fictional things; now, pretty much anything can make me tear up. Just today I had to compose myself in the middle of reading a Harry Potter AU. Those things never phased me and they still don't, but for some reason they trigger a crying response in me now. It can be a little embarrassing when it happens in front of people, haha.
I Am Into Half, Half Type. I Am Emotional Person But Always Hold On To It Most Of The Time. And When I Can't Hold It Anymore, I Was Simply Just Into Despair Mode Automatically. I Also Cried Out When I Stressed And Don't Know What To Choose. Here Is A Little Secret, When I Cried-How I Able TO Hold Is I Imagine My Favourite Spacecraft Singing To Me With Its Lovely Singing Voice. It Actually Melts My Heart But Also Heal My Heart. I Know, Cassini Can Sing In My Imagination.
I am a really emotional person. I cry often. Not at really small and stupid things tho. But, I cry very much. And, sometimes I'll even cry in front of others.
I was very emotional as a kid and cried a lot. Even as a freshman I cried a lot- at band camp freshman year I cried at least once every day from frustration. And it was a 2 week thing. It wasn’t until the second semester of my freshman year that I started toughing it out if I felt the need to cry. I usually think of something funny to take my mind off of something making me sad or frustrated. And yes, I’m still a crier, but not as much. Generally I cry if I’m too stressed or if something really bothers/frustrates me to the point of tears. Ironically, I don’t really cry when it comes to emotional parts of movies, games, or songs (unless it really hits me hard in the nostalgia and feels).
Uhhhh, the pun was seriously bad. Like not-worthy-of-being-spoken kind of bad. It wasn’t even punny. But it went something along the lines of “If the government has branches, I guess we’ve got to learn about its roots in histo-tree.” There. I said it. I might cry again. Look what you’ve done!! Ah, in all seriousness, I think in freshman year I would pick one day of the week to cry. I got so stressed out back then about my grades. Now I don’t have to do that any more because I’ve got things worked out, but I would still say I cry more than the average person! It’s just how I work through things. Sometimes I’m not even that sad, but I’m just overworked and need to go to bed. If I feel ridiculously upset for no reason, that’s how I know I’m just tired and should go to sleep instead of wasting my energy on crying.
I'm a rather emotional person, I'm easily stressed out, like very easily, and I usually call myself a total crybaby, but I don't actually cry that much (it still happens from times to times, but it's pretty rare), instead I shout out how I feel, I let it all out (which is actually embarrassing me because I feel like I'm annoying people by always complaining, but it feels great not keeping how I feel for myself)
I cry under great stress, like when my parents fighting gets really bad. It's worse when they involve me. That said I almost never cry from pain
I don't cry all that often, but there are times where I will cry when I'm just experiencing too much stress in my life.
I rarely cry. Maybe three or four times a year. The last time was when my cat died (which was 8 months ago). Not once have I ever cried for a film, TV show, or game. Instead I get an emotional, dread-like feeling. The only two pieces of media that got me close to crying was Anohana and Flowers for Algernon.
