how often do you find yourself crying? are you the type of person (like me) who cries at absolutly anything or are you tough as nails and it takes alot to make you cry? personally for me i find that anything makes me cry. i aint too bad with moves anymore but alot of songs make me cry alot and if something happens then i tend to cry rather than put on a brave front. im not very good at being brave =]

I'm a cry baby too . I didn't use to cry so easily, but now I cry really easily. I cry when something is sad. I cry when something is really happy. I have even cried watching some Oprah shows. It is kind of pathetic really. I am not good at putting up a brave front anymore either. Oh well crying is suppose to be good for you. Though, it would be nicer to have a bit more control.

I will say that I don't think I have never cried happy tears at anything real in my life. But, lately I have at people I see on TV that have something really great happen to them. I will see them get so happy and excited and cry and I will start to cry. I guess I have never had anything so happy happen in my real life to make me cry. Maybe someday. I wish us both more reasons to have happy tears!

i found my self crying every once in a while when am stress and feeling the pain i guess its good to cry it has so much great functions like the tears will wash your eyes and crying let you relax and express your self,but also crying can damage your eyes and let you feel depressed"S so its good to cry but not all the time

I don't cry uneccessarily. I do cry when i am really very sad and if anyone angers me. But a cry i get some relief from my pain. I usually cry in privacy.

sometimes all it takes for me to cry is a kodak commercial! oh and when it is coming to "that time of the month" all someone has to do is look at me the wrong way and the tears come a flowing.. sometimes it is just hard being a girl happy lotting to you!

I'm an emotional person but sometimes I'm discreet about it. Some people think of it as over reacting but that's just how other people are. I'm not really brave either but there are times that I am, unexpectedly.

I cry a lot specially while watching movies as i am very emotional type of person. In real life too i cry whenever i see people cry even though i don't know why they are crying, it sounds funny but i pity that they are crying because they are hurt emotionally or physically. And i have some friends like me too who are very soft in our hearts. There is a friend of mine who cries a lot while watching movies but in real life i haven't seen her cry. So, there are different kinds of people in this world.

I cry very rarely, about 1-2 times a year I think. Maybe it's because I don't have very much tragic occasions in my life or because I'm not a melancholic type of person. But sometimes I just feel I need to release my emotions or something what is built inside me. I cry rarely, but I think crying (not too often) is good. Anyway, if you feel you need to cry, do it. You'll feel much lighter after that. People are different and so are their habits. Some cry more and some cry less. Wish you more happy days! :)

Awww its really sweet that you cry like that. Well, even though I am a girl I don't cry too often.But then there is a reason behind that I guess. I had an aweful relationship a while back and I used to cry so often, that I think now I have become a little stronger or stone hearted. :| At times,I do get teary eyed if a movie is really sad or romantic. Happy myLotting!:)

Hello,chillpill90! To be frank with you,I was easy to cry for many reasons when I was in elementary school.As I'm growing up,I gradually develop a strong will.So I seldom cry unless I can't help crying.For instance,when I was badly misunderstood,especially by my close friends,I felt so oppressed and disappointed that I wanted to cry to alleviate the bad mood.When I'm deeply touched by a movie or something,I also pipe my eye unconsciously.

I'm the type of person that can't cry even when they want to. My vision will get blurred and I'll struggle to just release the emotion but my composure never falters enough for me to let go like I really want to sometimes. As I've gotten older I wonder if this is bad for me or if it's just the way I am. I'm not cold but I just seem to have a problem crying. I don't think I like to feel vulnerable.

they say, its therapeutic when you cry because it releases the negative energy. i cry just about anything. The recent one was i had an argument with my brother 3 nights ago. i cry when i watch tv series or movies or even news! I used to cry a lot but i told myself i had to control it and not get carried away by things.

I've learned how to keep myself from crying and I'm not really a crier. I avoid showing emotions to those around me. I cry when no one's around and when I feel overwhelmed with sadness or anger.

There are some movie/ tv show endings that make me cry, but not as much as I used to, either. However, when it comes to an animal movie, I will bawl. Awful to say, I cry more when pets die...lol I also cry when I am mad, or angry, and feel the person that I am talking to just doesn't get it... But I don't think crying is a bad thing. I wouldn't want to wake up one morning and find that I don't have any feelings, or tears left. I want to be able to feel and relate to people, have compassion for someone. Tears enable us to show just that.

I find myself crying at odd things - forexample, I cry at movies or TV shows that are sad, such as the season finale of Grey's Anatomy. I cry when I think of my children being hurt, I cry at times when i'm frustrated or stressed out. And ofcourse, I cry when something sad happens to me or a loved one.

I never used to cry at anything, but in the last year or so I've gotten more emotional and cry a lot more often. If I see a movie, or listen to a song, or anything with people in emotional situations and I mentally put myself into their shoes and think how they must be feeling, I start to tear up. I don't like showing my emotions that much so the crying is sort of a pain for me.

i am actually like you...as much as i want to put a strong face, i simply can't.Back in my teenage years when my parents admonished me for a behavior of mine that they didn't like i already find tears rolling down my cheeks and i hate myself for being so weak. Oftentimes i tell myself to be brave and stand up and reason out but i couldn't.Big lumps form in my throat and it makes it double hard to speak. In short i think we're very emotional people, a simple dramatic scene on TV or movie can make me cry, a simple sad song can make me sob as well. I actually admire those people that even in the middle of crying they can speak-out well without breaking their voice. i know a friend who's also emotional like me and easily breaks into tears the moment she shares her problems but is very good in speaking without having difficulty at all. Unlike me who can't finish a single sentence without half a sob!grrr...
