how many times do you cry during the week?

[joyce]

first poll just asking how many times you cry during the week

 

[Felgen]

Very rarely. I have other ways of coping with my problems.

 

[PunkRotten]

Maybe once or twice, if I can. Sometimes I can't even if I try to force myself.

 

[Forgotten-Children]

Depends on the situation, but I think I cried atleast two times this week trying to express my emotions one of those times being today but it was a mild cry. I was just tearing up.

 

[Blaze]

I don't cry as much as I used to. Once every two weeks or so. Depends really.

 

[NathanielWingatePeaslee]

Is it possible to amend the poll options? I haven't cried since my friend died in January. It's very rare for me. There's no option for less than once a week.

 

[Snowdrop]

I cry maybe once every week or 2 weeks, whenever my thoughts cross to something really negative and I can't help but cry. I don't like it but it's become a habit of mine...I only do it when I'm definitely alone though or I know no one will hear

 

[EscapeArtist]

I try to force myself to, but after much effort and facial disfigurement it just doesn't work anymore. The times I cry are short when they are true, because the guard re-erects itself quickly after I realize it is down. About once a week I am able to cry

 

[Sial Axetder]

none. Was brought up crying is weakness.

 

[EscapeArtist]

Ah, yes Sial, me too. I DO see it as weakness, as 'giving up' or losing hope. But I feel that is irrational to think, yet I believe so. If somebody would like easily to persuade me otherwise I would be delighted by the way...

 

[Mokkat]

There needs to be a "none" option. I was raised by parents/society/myself to bottle up tears. Im a guy :S

 

[PunkRotten]

I wish people would be honest.

 

[Yes We Can]

I don't, and haven't in many years. I was brought up to believe it was a sign of weakness, but I actually don't see anything wrong with it as long as it's within reason (ie.. appropriate time, place, etc.) then again who determines when that is? Maybe it's partly an age thing as well. Years ago I gave myself permission to cry should I feel the need to, I just haven't cashed in on it as of yet, but hey who knows. I also think there should be a none option on the poll.

 

[NathanielWingatePeaslee]

I wish people would be honest.

Well, now and then my eyes will go watery at some cheezy Disney movie or something. I might even shed a tear or two, but that's still very rare. Certainly less than once a week.

 

[joyce]

After crying i usally fall asleep so yeah 0_O

 

[CosmicNeurotica]

Interesting question.
I actually find it hard to cry a lot because I have to accept things for what they are. And I just don't care enough to cry.
But when I am able to, it's pretty deep. I'll cry in the dark and think about the past, unable to fall asleep. Wondering when a girl will fall in love with me. How they can. Wondering what happened in my life that I'm in this situation.
Sometimes I wish I could cry more because crying makes me actually feel something.
In every day life, it's hard to really care about anything.

 

[CosmicNeurotica]

BTW, anyone who says crying is a bad thing is completely wrong.
Why would anyone raise their child to think that baffles me.

 

[Aussie_Lad]

I am a man. Real men don't cry, or at least that's what a lot of us are told from a young age.

I find myself tearing up more from an emotional scene on tv, than I do from sadness or happiness in my own life.

 

[CosmicNeurotica]

I am a man. Real men don't cry.

Real men do cry. If you're a man and don't cry, you're not a real man. It shows you're a human being.

 

[KiaKaha]

I haven't cried in a few weeks... I am probably about due. Crying is a good release and I am not going to suppress it because of some kind of macho nonsense. I have no shame in doing so if I need to.
