Do you cry?

[theprodigalrebel]

During movies, yeah. During real-life events, sometimes. I cried when my brother moved. I cried the day after my sister's wedding. When I see my Dad break down in tears while talking about his treatment. When I had to take my Mom to the hospital (she thought she was having a heart attack).

It's alright. It means you are bloody human and not dead inside.

 

[jonks]

When we put my dog to sleep. Not that I'd call that crying per se, it was more of a total body collapse. And then I cried when I watched it reenacted in I Am Legend.

I usually hold it together well until someone close to me starts, esp. if it's my mother/father. Just depends on the situation.

Not yet. I wear briefs and boxer briefs, so they're usually cooped up pretty close to me.

Anything regarding unwanted happenings to my balls has the best chance for some eye water.

i really don't want to but damn..what is a mushroom slap?

Slapping of the balls.

Sometimes when I pull a nose hair.

yeah but thats not because of pain. when i had nose surgery a few years ago the doctor said that pulling nose hears trigger the eyes to tear up.

holy shit that is fucking hilarious

My father trained me to hold them back. I remember as a child certain phrases like:

"Are you a man or a mouse?"
"Do you want me to give you something to really cry about?"

My wife will get teary eyed in sad movie scenes and thinks it is weird I can look her in the eyes (while she is crying) and not cry myself.

I can't hear that without thinking about the cheesy metal song by Dream Evil. Lost all meaning now :music:

From Urban Dictionary:

To slap someone across the face with one's penis.

You cry looking at art?

I'll edit and say something that actually has a point. I grew up moving from house to house between two sets of grandparents and never cried when they died. Never cried when other family members died. Never even got emotional when my gf of 5 years and I split. I'm not a hardass, I just don't cry. I can't tell you the last time I cried. I can't tell you the last time I wasn't the person to remain calm and calm everyone else down when something tragic has happened or others are in need. Nothing that is supposed to hit my like that ever hits me that way.

When I was a kid my dad explained to me one time that crying is an instinct, a visual representation of how you feel inside. It shows others around you that are you in need of something. Babies cry because they feel as though they are in distress. Crying is a selfish act to get attention from others around you and has no other value. Therefore, crying only has worth if you need pity. Crying alone? Even more worthless.

Cellular made me cry. I cried tears of joy when the movie ended.

 

[aphex]

i've cried a few times this past week, for reasons i'd rather not discuss.

 

[RKS]

I cried (and prayed) when the doctor told me my father would not make it through the night after a bypass-related mistake and I also cried after my first son was born (and my father was there to hold him).

 

[BigJ]

Boys don't cry. You don't have to listen to me, The Cure said so.

 

[GeekDrew]

I do... rarely... but much more often than some of you hard-asses claim. I can distinctly remember the last few times I've cried... probably once or twice per year. Death has never really bothered me, until my grandparents passed away... I broke down like a baby. And otherwise, I have one or two triggers that'll cause it, if said by certain people.

/me is weak

 

[Nitemare]

No, because all my immediate family is alive and I haven't had any pets die yet.

 

[gamepad]

I cry at work at least three times a week in a bathroom stall. It's very good for relieving stress and other baggage.

I often impute a bad day to not having cried.

 

[antyler]

I think a few tears came out at my wedding. Thats about it.

 

[Lola]

I am a girl... I do a lot. When I am frustrated, sad, hurt angry and over-joyed and blessed.

 

[coldmeat]

I don't remember the last time I cried. That's probably because nothing has really happened that would make me cry. Besides my grandfather dying 6 years ago, but I didn't cry then.

 

[RESmonkey]

I haven't cried in years

 

[jaqie]

Oddly, when I am depressed I don't cry, I just kinda cut off all my emotions...sort of a trained-in automatic safety feature that I have no conscious control over - Ive got chronic depression. However, when the depression isn't pushing me down, my emotions come back on and I cry just like most other women; "a good cry every now and then".

For whatever reason I thought you were talking facetiously about sitting on your balls. Guess I shouldn't have stayed up so late last night.
