I am struggling with my emotional state here recently and would like to have a good cry.. but I seem to be detached and unable.. its been 10 or more years and I really would like to just let it out.. I always hold myself back..

So I dont want to fake cry :crying:

I want real tears of the sadness that is simply locked within.. any advice would be sweet... thanks!

:confused:

Let the tears come naturally. Don't force them out. You can try watching a sad movie or reading a sad book that mirrors your life. Maybe this can serve as cathartic release for you.

I surrong myself with sad, yet not a drop will fall..
Pain that sears from many moons past echo through my haunted mind,
without one single salty tear flake..
I think it is a defense mechanism, have to be strong and all..
I am sick of being strong, I wish to be weak
if even for one turn around the clock..

This occasionally happens to me

It's never a sad moment

It's when certain difficult events pile up and compound

The root of crying is when I foresee and predict the consequences

when I know I'll be absolutely alone in my suffering

I cry real sodium chloride tears and laugh at it with personal applause and deep smiles
something touches a nerve. I find the inner stamina and I'm always well-prepared for bad things.

I think the true origin was at very young age I had the glossed-over confidence to impress people. I was very slightly aware of my weaknesses which I was lucky
never to get criticised for. I knew it
I started with more than average normalness and acceptance from others. I was a magic self-diagnosis I just didn't think of. I progressed to an OK life. It took a while to recognise the way everybody began deserting and turning their backs on me. Months in hospital at school did firm my esteem muscles.

Desperation of loneliness has made me laugh at myself. :perfect: it's my biggest stronghold lookout. Loneliness does provide something a bit wholesome. The perception of progression or gain is unrealistic. I cling onto one thing - a star shining from inside, which I understand than normal people don't have a smidgen of appreciation. I am unique in my opinions and attitude, and so is everyone. But there's a different level between everyone

My encounter with simple plankton people yesterday has stirred my afterthoughts, while I held tight in my demeanour and didn't turn any desks upside-down. I learn. It's important. It drives me. I won't meet them again. That makes 'em very lucky indeed. :sarcastic:

Putting the reasons for crying aside for the moment, we might concentrate on the correct way to cry, which be it understood, means a weeping that doesn't turn into a big commotion nor proves an affront to the smile with its parallel and dull similarity. The average, everyday weeping consists of a general contraction of the face and spasmodic sound accompanied by tears and mucus, this last toward the end, since the cry ends at the point when one energetically blows one's nose.

In order to cry, steer the imagination toward yourself, and if this proves impossible owing to having contracted the habit of believing in the exterior world, think of a duck covered with ants or of those gulfs in the Straits of Magellans into which no one sails ever.

Coming to the weeping itself, cover the face decorously using both hands, palms inward. Children are to cry with the sleeve of the dress or shirt pressed against the face, preferably in a corner of the room. Average duration of the cry, three minutes.
