Crying

[Vegan_Doodler]

Well I'm an emotionally repressed Brit (we just write slightly miffed letters) so I can't remember the last time I really cried at something in my life but the last time I shed tears was several days over the past few week when seeing THE AVENGERS (5 times so far), that bit where Cap says "this might be a really great time for you to get angry"
B/H: That's my secret captain, I'm always angry"
And then Hulk HERO PUNCHES THE GIANT ALIEN SNAKE THING, AND THEN IRON MAN IS ALL LIKE, TAAAAANK MISSILE, AND THEN THE THINK BLOWS TO HELL AND ALL THE CHITARY ARE LIKE, SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT, AND LOKI'S JUST LIKE "SEND THE REST", *cough* yeah I love that part, god that film was worth the wait.

Either yesterday or the day before. I broke up with my girlfriend 5 months ago but I still miss her, and thus I cry quite often.

Things have been better

I was crying by number 28. I'm impressed by and/or frightened of anybody who makes it through the whole thing without goin' a little blurry in the vision.

People react differently to stuff like that. I am able to see that they are powerful pictures, and sometimes a little sad, but they are nowhere near making me cry. I don't think I am particularly "cold" when it comes to feelings, but again, everyone reacts different. Some are very open about their feelings, other are not.

I'll spoiler it, as it's rather personal, long and heartbreaking, if you're one of the types that adore animals/pets.

May of last year a stray cat we had just taken in had kittens, 4 wonderful little things. Love at first sight. I've never seen the birth of anything in person, so of course we took the whole family in and became utterly attached.

Well, we've always had cats here, we're out in the country so we get strays coming around every few years and tend to take them in. As we've only really ever had cats that know how to survive outside, they were always good about staying safe when crossing the road and such... Well, when these kittens were old enough for it, we'd supervise them outside with their mum, they always loved it. So as they grew older, of course they always wanted to go out. We still made sure to watch them and make sure they came in before dark.

Well... In October of last year, one of the male kittens (5 months at the time), Mozi, wanted to go outside during the day... But I got this absolutely dreadful feeling after I opened the door for him. Absolutely terrible feeling, and I instantly went outside and brought him back in.

Well... that morning, someone opened the door to let the dogs out, and little Mozi... he snuck out with them.


...After searching all day for him... we found him in a ditch on the other side of the road... 5 months old... I sobbed for hours every night after that... It's been 7 months, and I still weep weekly... I can't look at his siblings without thinking about how he should be here with them.. I can't think about him without breaking into tears. I'm bawling now. I've dealt with past pets dying before, but all of them had wonderful long healthy lives... But for little Mozi just.. not to have the chance to grow up with his brother and sisters... He deserved a wonderful life.

The Last Airbender.
Season two.
Tales of Ba Sing Se.
Iro's tale.
That feel hit me hard, out of no where.
A single tear was shed.

 

[Lord Garnaat]

I can't quite remember the last exact time I openly cried, but the closest I've gotten recently was a few days ago. I decided to sit down and listen to a reading of a story called "My Little Dashie", with the understanding that it was regarded as very sad.

After finishing it I realized that that was a massive understatement: it was like getting punched in the stomach with a fist made of pure melancholy. I felt as though my gut was tied up in knots for hours, and even now, after almost a week, I still feel emotional about it.

The movie The Iron Giant almost made me cry. What it's sad.

 

[Rose and Thorn]

I was sitting in a park with a creek running through the middle of it. There was a gang of bullies across the creek and they were harassing all the younger school kids that went by, and then I also saw couple of Robin birds land on a rock in the river and playfully drink in the creek along side each other while whistling joyful sounds. I had Laura Marling playing from my iPod while I witnessed all this.

My eyes teared up and I may have let a tear drip down my face. The reason for this is that though the world is mean and cruel because of the people I share it with, there is still so much beauty and love in this world that I would rather be in this world, rather than not being in it.

They were happy tears.

Captcha: remain calm

 

[Psychedelic Spartan]

Watching Dobby die in HP 7 part one. I didn't actually cry but I was convinced someone was cutting onions in the room.

 

[RatRace123]

Earlier today when I plucked a nose hair.

Not everything needs to be emotionally powerful to get one to cry.

 

[DarkRyter]

Spoiler: This always fucking gets me.

Also, Fry's dog.

 

[JokerCrowe]

I think I almost cried when watching Bleach in the episode when they go and visit Ichigo's mother's grave. I think the last time I cried actual tears, was the last time I saw a couple of clips from CLANNAD I've saved on my youtube profile. They are all Very moving.

Spoiler: Warning, there is a video here, that, if you haven't watched Clannad After Story will spoil pretty much Everything in it. It will also make you cry. A LOT.

"I'm only laughing on the outside,
My smile is just skin deep,
If you could see inside I'm really crying,
You might join me for a weep."

- The Joker

The last time I had a good cry was after I'd run into my then freshly ex-girlfriend. Just seeing her smile was enough to make my efforts to get over her all for naught.

 

[VeryOddGamer]

I for some reason don't show emotions all that much, so I don't cry a lot. Though I came pretty close to it in "I am the very model of a..." Also, I remember getting teary-eyed when the Ninth Doctor regenerated. Hey, I was a kid back then. Also, they never aired the second season until right now, actually. *sniff*

 

[orangeban]

I literally cannot remember the last time I cried. Partly because I'm am the toughest, manliest bastard and never cry, not even manly tears of steel. Mainly because my memory is atrocious.

It's a safe bet that I cried the last time I saw The Lion King though, that film always gets to me.

 

[BlackStar42]

The last time I cried was 2 days ago. I'd just learnt to play Little Soldier Boy, and the emotion got to me while performing it. I'm not ashamed either, that song is a very beautiful, very powerful piece of music. If you've seen "The Tale of Iroh" you know what I'm on about.

 

[Beautiful Tragedy]

I cry alot. Sometimes from sadness, sometimes joy... mostly overwhelming emotion. My life hasn't always been easy, and i cry when i think of my past as well.

 

[Terratina.]

Deep depression, a couple years ago.

The thing that was upsetting me seems silly now.

True. Once you get out of depression, you have changed and probably have a much thicker skin. During that time though, you don't have that. But anyway, probably when I watched Grave of the Fireflies last week.

 

[Palademon]

Crying during my now almost completely passed 6 week illness.

During that time I turned 18, and I entered that age feeling the least independent I had in a while, with my mum having to look after me.
At one of the moments where she had to leave the room for half an hour to make dinner I started crying, wondering what I would do without her.
