What kind of things make you cry.. Are you easily moved or are you thick skinned and nothing shakes you. Me ..I am one big crybaby.. I cry easily ..I get moved by sad movies or sad stories.. I am sensitive if people speak harshly to me or if I see someone mistreated..Most anything can cause me to tear up. What about you?

I'm like this too, i'm easily to get touched, even by watching movies or stories. My father is also like this, i think i follow him...hehe... If i talk too aggressively (when i am treated unfair), i will also cry afterwards.

Easily touched is a very nice way to call .I cry for having cried and then cry when I see others cry.

I get shaken up by sad stories on the news. Usually of little children being hurt or families being torn apart. I have a real problem with the way media handles these stories. usually I find that they sensationalise the story so that they can make money off of it. That in and of itself does not make me cry but it makes me very angry. Capitalizing on others pain and misery is a sin in the truest sense of the word and I think should be made illegal at the least. I cry for the pain of others.

I am like you. A movie, a story , someone who tells me something about their life. a commercial lol And if I get yelled at even though i try hard not too I end up crying. There are certain subjects I stay away from because they always make me tear up.

I gave up trying not to cry; I know I am just a super sensitive person .. It's who I am and how God made me I guess..Sometimes it's a blessing to be sensitive and at other times it's a cros..

I cry when I am mad. I don't know why but it's one way for me to release my emotions. Some situations like having an argument with my parents and my boyfriend. Or just crying because I feel like I am pressured to do something that I'm not supposed to do.

I think ..crying might be one of the better things to do if you are mad.. It releases all that built up tension and might save you from saying too many unkind things.

I'm not all that emotional, I'm just kind of a softie for some sorts of things. Yeah, movies and sad stories and tragic events in my life triggers the tears to fall. So what if people call you a crybaby, it's a natural thing. Others can really hold it in very well while some other people just need to cry. And crying is a good thing. Helps you build your strength (emotionally) so when you think about it the next time, it won't be as bad as the first. Everyone's different. Built differently so we all think differently, dress differently, look differently, etc. If everyone in the world was the same, wouldn't you think it would be a boring place without all the differences? it would be so dull that the life expectancey rate will be lower than the average expectancy rate is already is. Since they won't have the feel of what life is worth living. That's why we all got goals in life to try to. So don't be ashamed of who you are, be proud of who you are. If you cry, CRY! If people make fun of you if you cry, they got nothing else better to do than bring others down lower than their level to make themselves feel better while feeding off their victims disliking upon them. Best solution for that is to walk away or give them a lecture about something they've probably never experienced, that's so tragic so they can cut you some slack so they can empathise with what you're going through. Some people I know would cry a lot to the extent where they're depressed and wouldn't really want to be around people because of a certain something. Seeing a specialist wouldn't really help much if it is only something minor. A close friend or relative should talk to them about it just to help lift their burdens or relieve the tension of what is bothering them. Seeing a specialist is a waste of money sometimes, people just need to be there for others just for some moral support. The only time people will ever need s specialist is when they got nobody else to turn to and it would feel to them as if they're lost and hopeless. But then again, who'd recommend them to those sort of people? Councilor? A friend? Some family member? At least one of them would actually care to talk to the person and try to negotiate and talk to them about what's been bugging them. Not unless the other person is insane enough to recommend them to a specialist to the point where they have to go to some place where Britney Spears ended up when she totally lost it. In conclusion, just cry. It's natural (to an extent).

You are very well put together for such a young lady..I hope you go into some field like Psychology or other areas where you can counsel others.. I agree: crying releases your stress and not letting out your emotions can turn you into some kind of basket case. I am not ashamed and I have come to accept the fact that I am a very sensitive person.
