When I was younger than my age today, I felt i never done right things because my parents especially my mother always sees the negative in me, She always point on my mistakes and naggs at me..so everytime i cry, i watch myself in the mirror. I want to see how i cry,if i still look good even if i cry.. funy isn't it? How about you? do you check your face in the mirror while you cry?

eyes  - crying
That might be funny i often cry and my life was made full of cries, few months back i cried so hard there was some problem between me and my guy and i cried a lot and lot nobody was there to comfort me and i prayed to GOD to help me to overcome such situations then after all crying i had to take something from the shelf when i saw my face in the mirror accidently i was looking like a so poor child, yes im short and im a bit plumpy which always make me look more younger than im i dont look like a teen i look like a child, i felt this burden is too much for a teen like me and again i swept for somewhile.. that wasnt anything funny for me because i was deeply moved by seeing myself in the mirror as i always used to smile in the photos and whenever i look in the mirror my eyes were the highlight but that day when i cried my eyes were red.. it showed how terrbly affected i was...

That's kind of weird don't you think. If I'm crying and I happen to be in front of a mirror. Then maybe I'll peak a little. But as of now and trying to remember what I look like when I'm crying, I just couldn't remember anything. Just some imagination of myself crying. I don't know, maybe I just really never saw myself in the mirror crying even once.

Hi,I look at the mirror when I smile and laugh but I never felt like looking at the mirror when crying.Bcoz I would be sad and depressed when crying and how do we get the thought to look at the mirror.happy mylotting.

oh my! how could i concentrate on my crying when i am faced with a mirror?hhmm...maybe possible if i am practicing some lines on a script for a dramatic scenes, but hello!, i am not a star!...or not yet a star..hehehe.(dreaming to become one)..but seriously, when you are crying, you want to pour your heart out just to ease the pain inside, and tears keep falling down your eyes, that eventually blurrs your sight, so how can you see yourself in the mirror clearly then..chances are, you might not like what you see then...the lesson will be: don't cry when u want to look good in the mirror..agree?

Hi there leyla_kaloni! Well, there were times in the past when I would look at myself in the mirror when I cried. I do not do it that often now as I do not really like to see how ugly I am when I am crying. Years back, when I was still active in the theater, I would cry in front of the mirror just to check how I should look like when I cry on stage.

I never look my face in the mirror when i cry. I usually don't cry very often unless my feeling is really hurt badly.

Not really. I don't think I have ever wanted to look at my reflection as I'm bawling my eyes out, lol. It's not something I want to see. It's hard enough to cry because it feels like I'm admitting defeat. I know how you are feeling, though. I'm also having people nitpick about how I want to live my life. But I haven't done the mirror thing.

that's really funny and weird to do! but its your preference i won't argue with that. before i used to do that but im just rehearsing myself for my declamation. i wanted to see how i project myself while crying. but not really when im crying because i have problems or im sad.

I hate looking in the mirror anyway, so why oh why would I want to look in the mirror when I cry!! To see a monster??? Mirrors are not my thnig and I only have small mirrors in the house, mostly tucked in drawers. Only small mirror on display is in the bathroom upstairs. Hate them

My girlfriend used to look at the mirror whenever she cries... The funny part is where ever we are, when she cries, she looks at her foundation mirror.. and talk on herself in the mini-mirror... if ever i'll be crying, no i will never ever look at the mirror... it will just makes me realize of what am i crying for... So that means i'll be more sad... I wanna cry in a dark place or when it rains.. coz no one will see or notice that your crying

no i don't. but i just want to say that my youngest sister looks at herself in the mirror when she cries to get what she wants. so instead of giving in to her wishes, we end up laughing at her and she'd cry out louder but of course, when the crying turns real, we eventually give her what she wants (if it's reasonable, that is)
