People respond to situation differently. And people express their emotion in different manners that they are comfortable with. People have different characteristics that make them unique. I am a cry baby. I cry in almost all situations... be it a happy or sad situation. I cry when I am watching a movie or a play. I cry when a friend will tells me a sad story or a happy one. I cry when I am angry or when I am emotional or when I feel loved. Are you a cry baby? What makes you cry?

No I don't usually cry. The only time I have had tears flow out of my eyes in recent memory was when I was extremely angry and I couldn't do anything about it because it was my dad who was making fun of me. Lol after a while I realised I was getting angry for no reason because he was just making jokes and we were all doing it before to everyone else. I was acting pretty imature lol. I was just 15 at the time so... I guess girls show their emotions more than guys because I can hear the saddest story and feel pretty sad but I never actually cry.

Yes, girls are kinda more emotional. And there are girls who are really tough too. They won't cry no matter what. I can be tough too when I wanted to. thanks.

I cry whenever I feel sorry for other people even when watching drama. I thought in the past it was a weakness because people can always take advantage of me but I realized by reading the Bible it is a blessing to be merciful because those who don't know mercy cannot expect mercy from God come judgment day. Usually when I cry it is related to pity. On the other hand, too much joy can also make me teary eyed. Especially in cases like I thought it is already hopeless but all of a sudden, my problem is solved.

I love the feeling of shedding "tears of joy" it was so relieving. And yes, sad movies are so moving to me, specially the "Maalaala mo kaya". lol

I cry or have to hold my tears back very often, so I guess I am a crybaby. I cry when I am angry, when something or someone upsets me, when I lose a loved one, sad movies or books, I have even been known to cry over commercials. There are so many things that make me cry, I cried when my kids and grandkids were born, I cry when one of my kids is hurt, I cry when the car breaks down, I cry in church, when I hear a sad song. Well, yep, I am a crybaby.

OMG the tears flow for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! I cry when my family members or friends are upset, when I am soooooo angry that I cant speak, when i am watching real life documentaries or movies, I have cried when I have heard about someone I don't really know being hurt or dying. I do cry lots but I don't see this as a bad thing, I am just a sensitive soul!!!!!!

I cry whenever I feel like crying- happy or sad situations- I do. If I am touch with an instance, whether it's a song, a story, a movie, a book, goodbyes, heartbreak, when I am hurt- if I can't help my tears I cry. Crying is a way of humans to deal with their emotions, it can be the ultimate way on how we can express what we feel inside.

i get teary eyed easily but i dont cry easily.. i wonder if there is a difference between the two. Things that make me cry are as follows: 1. too much anger 2. too much sadness 3. sensitive topics discussed - my family and what we have been through. 4. sad movies 5. scary situation - like a flying cockroach... believe me that could get me to cry.... 6. simply anything unusual.... or out of the ordinary feeling

No, I'm not a crybaby. I don't cry for no VALID reason at all. I'm not sensitive. I think I'm pretty cold, anyway. But, when I cry, the tears are really flowing! It's hard to make me cry and if you made me cry, you're really awesome. So, I give thumbs up to the stuffs that make me cry--from the movies, to people.

I used to by like you, speicaly when i was a teen. It could happen only small thing and I would start to cry like a baby, but I was very senstivie. but since 19 i am on my own and i have been through a lot of tough time and realize that crying is not gonna do anything. i think i am just harder then i was and just stop to crying over thing, but try to fix them.

I'm a cry-baby in all sorts of ways. From tearing up watching Ty Pennington and hundreds of community members shouting "Move that bus!" or seeing a kitten walking along the roadside, or even when throwing my hands up thinking "What's the point of it all?!", I am a cry-baby. Happiness, sadness, confusion, anticipation, forethought and even hindsight, pain, fear, uncertainty, compassion, and self-doubt are all reasons one might cry. Surely, there are many more reasons, but alas I ran out at 11. Anyway. Crying is a natural thing and whether it actually comes out in tears is dependent upon the person. Regardless, the feeling has to come out - it just does. Did you ever know anybody at the workplace who always complained? Someone who got a bruise and was sure to keep you updated on how it was healing? Maybe the readers themselves have cursed at their computer screens for whatever reasons. I think it's all under the headline: Crying. So, in a way we are all cry-babies I think. But that's still no reason to go around calling people cry-babies. Hmm, maybe the term "cry-baby" needs some kind of politically correct term; I'm opting for Emotional Experience Specialist of the Self.

I was a cry baby,I cried when I was upset about something bad happened to me?When I cried out I would felt better.But now I seldom cry,I don't know why,don't know if it's good .Maybe it's because I am grown-up now,maybe it's because I am stronger than I used to be. Crying is good ,let you feel released .Then you can be happy again. I like baby girl.

I cry . but depends on a situation. When I'm so down, family problems makes me trigger to cry. Sometimes I can control not to cry in a crowd place but. I remember that It happens on me twice that I cried. When I was riding a bus from hospital to go home and When I am at the mall with my partner.
