I know this is a bit gey, a man should never cry. But for some reason i missed it. You know, when you were a kid and cried yourself to sleep and that amazing feeling when you wake up. But for some reason i can't cry anymore... I might get teary at times when watching "certain" movies. But even then i can squeeze no tear from my eyes. :\
I missed crying...
- Thread starter Nack
- Start date
neither can I ... and I also miss it very much.. I guess r so down that u can't even cry, u cry to get stuff outta r system, but u can't get this outta r system, the pain is to big, and r to use to it. u cry when something bad happens to u to get it out.. but when s**** happens to u everyday u get use to it and it just goes into the big whole u have, waiting for more pain... and u know that crying won't solve anything, like when u were a kid, so therefore u can't cry... don't know if u understood me, and I know it doesn't help r situation

I have no problem crying at ALL, my depression + sad movies take care of that. I have the following levels :
Level 1 : Teary eyes.
Level 2 : Tears running slowly down my face.
Level 3 : Steady stream of tears from both eyes.
Level 4 : "The Waterfall", I can now barley see anything.
Level 5 : "The Waterfall" + sobbing + complete loss of control. (a bit scary)
I actually grade sad movies on IMDB depending how high I get
Movies that trigger a high level for me, are movies where kids die :
Hotaru no haka (1988) (my only Level 5 so far)
My Sister's Keeper (2009)
Freedom Writers (2007)
The Ultimate Gift (2006)
Bridge to Terabithia (2007)
or where people are dying for someone/something they love :
The Last Samurai (2003)
Man on Fire (2004)
Léon (1994)

From the mighty Internet :
Tufts Daily - New research questions benefits of crying
"The University of Florida study also indicated that individuals with mental health problems such as chronic anxiety are unlikely to experience benefits from crying.
Willard agreed that for those with more depressive tendencies, crying might not bring any long-term relief."
Hmm, interesting, I don't feel any better after crying, I just feel empty. Maybe I'm an emotion junkie ?!

The only time I ever reached a "Level 5, was when my dad was in the ICU." "when my dad was in hospice care at home and I was saying my goodbyes." and "when I had to come to the decision of putting my dog to sleep." I totally and completely lost control of my emotions. Yeah, it is very scary to loose control.... and also being that sad. Being that sad makes me think of suicide allot more too...
Also, you forgot in your list of movies: "Titanic" and "The Notebook"

The aftermath of crying is embarrassing for me. I always, without fail, cry so hard that I exhaust myself and need to sleep for at least an hour or so. Which results in fluid building up in my eyelids and then when I wake up, I look like Disney's Quasimodo cause my lids are swollen and lumpy. And usually, I have to go to class or work so I have to hope it's not that noticeable.
Crying in front of people is embarassing, too cause like I said, when I cry I always cry really hard and I can't stop myself. So not only is everyone seeing me look like I'm in complete agony, they get to see how red my face turns, cause I'm so pale.
