i kind of take back my post a little earlier. it's just that i haven't been put in that many real life situations where things like, overpower me. i remember a couple of years ago when my grandad died i listened to this song i recorded a while before when he was first put in hospital and it was kind of about him and at that point i shocked myself by having a big old ball. i dunno i think that is the stuff that makes trying in life really worth it in the end - not grandparents dying! - but to have those kind of moments every now and then where you can't take it in stride and you don't really want to cos it's all beautiful (and i tried very hard to think of another way of saying that). times when you are completely free of all the mundane shit and there's this glow to every thought that comes into your head. maybe this is a bit explotative but i dunno, i'm really shit at articulating this.

steel you should watch an episode of star trek deep space nine called "the visitor". i know how that sounds! but i think you would really like it judging by the post you made. everyone should watch that episode if you are remotely interested in doing so. that episode had me going over and over again. star trek! for pete's sake!!!

i haven't cried since i was ripped from my mother's womb and the doctor slapped my ass but the tears instantly transformed into knives and stabbed in the face.

once every two weeks probably and only when i get into really bad fights with my girlfriend because our relationship is a mess.

also during the scene in hotel rwanda when the UN troops turn back the busload of children i bawled like a baby for like 10 minutes

probably once, twice a year, but I usually get some tears over music or movies when I allow myself to, but only when I'm alone, for some reason I don't like to cry around people, unless it's my bf.
ah, but this year I'ce cried more, but it was because something in particular.

Some scenes in movies make me teary-eyed but I don't remember actually crying in a very long time.

Last time I cried really hard was the scene in "Hook" when Peter Pan found his teddy bear. :'(

no! his wife/gf took his sons away...what if they fall into bad habits? reh dogg asks the questions we're all afraid to think about.

I have become very desensitised to sadness in general because I experience it a lot just as background noise. It's only when I am in the doctors or something and they're asking me the awkward questions that I actually cause thats like a flood gate mechanism. All the rest of the time I just get angry instead.

jesus christ, steel.

the only thing that can make me cry is music and physical pain

I think the last time I really got jerked up was when I got a contusion in my shin from running into a diving board or something lol

jesus christ, steel.

is this jesus christ rehdogg or jesus christ you a pussy because if a man's got cancer i think it's okay that he faces a few personal normandys about once a week.

If by crying you mean drinking like an idiot in a filthy pub, complaining and smoking cigarettes then yes I do that a lot nowadays.

seriously though well made movie scenes and my shitty life reguralry makes me teary.

i very very very rarely cry. like there are times when i REALLY SHOULD cry but i dont. over the summer i broke up with my girlfriend of FIVE YEARS and she was CRYING AND CRYING and i was just... didnt. i really can't think of the last time i CRIED over anything like this. when relatives dies i don't really cry either i just sort of say "ok".

and crying over general stress and stuff i don't understand AT ALL

lots of times i feel like i should be crying or at least displaying some sort of emotion and i just dont. im a robot... 

couple times a year

I'd always cry when talking to someone about my depression and how it made me feel. beyond that I think I've only cried during movies when it's about family, family stuff really gets to me. I'm getting teary-eyed right now just thinking about it. I love my family!!

pidge I don't think he was criticizing you, I think it was supposed to be more of a strangelove story style 'jesus christ you deal with that'

I haven't "cried" full-on since I felt really sick one day last year... I think I had a fever of 103 and I was just really frustrated. I shed a tear or get choked up during some scenes in movies and sometimes during a really beautiful song.

But yeah, don't often have those terribly depressing moments too often. Probably overdue for one, actually.

EDIT: Oh wait my cat died last year, I cried a bit a few times around that time.

Man.  I thought I was the only one who has this.  I actually don't really cry but I need to forcefully restrain myself from doing so.

This is how I usually react to really touching media.  I have had to hold back tears because of art several times that I can remember.  Most recently it was during the second movement of Ravel's Piano Concerto in G at the Minnesota orchestra - that is a really amazing piece of music.

Otherwise  the last time I really cried was when I performed an extremely inappropriate sex act on an unsuspecting girl who was afraid to stop me.  I felt like such a slime when she told me how uncomfortable I made her!

But I don't think I cry very often.  Maybe about 10 times in my life?  I am emotionally moved pretty easily but I can choke back tears like a big boy.
