Do You Cry?

[captaincabbage]

Sure I cry, any normal human does it.

 

[rickthetrick]

I only weep from my penis.

Okay truthfully Up was kinda sad and I did tear up watching the end of the notebook so shoot me.

When was the last time you were saddened, happy or angry enough to shed a tear, if ever? (And are you easily moved?)

The last time I shed a tear was about 5 years ago. I was walking home from... somewhere... work or Blockbuster or something... and the song "Within a Mile Of Home" by Flogging Molly played on my MP3 player. This was "our song" with a particularly special girl with whom I had a bad breakup. For about two years afterward I shed a tear or two every time I heard that song.

I am not easily moved. As a defense mechanism, I take a step back from any situation and look for the humour. Even if I am faced with something that would make most others cry, I usually find a reason to laugh.

Honestly, I cannot remember the last time. Maybe it was when I was a tough, emotionally distant ***** who blew up Megaton with an unexploded nuke just for laughs and watched it from a safe distance while hobnobbing with the rich and powerful at Tuppenny Tower. Or perhaps standing on a platform on an unnamed planet, looking out at the massive army ready to serve my conquering commands as I curb stomped the Galactic Community. Or maybe it was when I watched 'UP' as well.

Why, only just yesterday while listening to Melodies of Life from FF IX. That song moves me so, and I love it so much.

And I can be easily moved, depending on what it is that moves me.

I actually am a pretty empathic person, so yeah, I'll tear up a lot. (Note that this is distinct from "crying" to me, because in order to call it "crying", I consider that you have to shed a decent amount of tears, get your cheeks wet, be all sniffley for a while, etc.)

But the funny thing is, I usually only cry out of evoked sadness, sense of loss, tragedy, or extreme joy, etc. I almost never cry out of personal situations, such as happiness, frustration, anger, or pain.

'Up' : bawled like there was no tomorrow
shattered my arm : didn't shed a single tear
When Aragorn was crowned in 'Return of the King' : a few tears rolled
When I discovered my car had been stolen : not even close

I'm just weird tho.

EDIT: the two times I can think of that I cried over personal situations were when I gave my father's eulogy, and when my wife walked down the aisle to marry me.

Take a guess.

I cry at that moment in "Click" where Adam Sandler keeps rewinding the moment that his father said "I love you, son.".

That was a powerful, emotional scene.
I don't blame you.

 

[Vykrel]

Up almost made me cry... for some reason i get sad when i see sad old people. the end of Saving Private Ryan and the part where the the grandfather dies in Click both made me tear up

 

[Hazy]

Last time I shed a tear was a few days ago at the end of Sideways.

Very moving film, comes highly recommended.

I'm 20 now. I've cried probably two times since I was 12, one was during my uncle's funeral and one was at a parent's evening at my school (one teacher had the ability to make me cry, my grades in his subject, Physics, were so bad - ironically I managed an A at GCSE and did A-Level Physics in sixth form too...). I didn't even cry at my grandfather's funeral, even though I was really close to him. I think my uncle dying earlier that year toughened me up a bit, which is interesting because before then I was a really sensitive kid who'd cry at the first provocation.

So there you have it. Aside from extreme pain or fits of laughter, I've cried twice since I was 12. Eight years without crying is pretty good going, but sometimes I do miss being able to cry when something happens. I tend to let my feelings bottle up inside me instead, which I'm lucky that I rarely have any strong bad feelings to bottle up...

 

[Death God]

Some times. It's not that "men aren't supposed to cry", it's just that I haven't seen very many sad things and I don't usually watch sad things. There are certain times though.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

Hey everone! I just finished watching 'UP', the animated pixar film, and before I start explaining anything, I'd just like to state; Damn, that was one hell of a good movie.

Now, I'm not a guy who is easily moved. Sure, I'm probably in contact with my feelings and all that, like the next guy, but save for one instance in Febuary I have not cried in years.

That all changed tonight though.

I was watching 'UP' and, this not being a sad movie, I was surprised at myself when I found enough water in my eyes 10 minutes into the movie, to actually make tears roll down my cheeks.

Of course I am referencing the scene

Spoiler

where Ellie dies and Carl is left all alone, without them having set out on their adventure together.

So there you have it: I've cried two times in years, when my dog died (rest his Soul) and when I watched 'UP'.

So here's one for you:

When was the last time you were saddened, happy or angry enough to shed a tear, if ever? (And are you easily moved?)

[sub]I'm not necessarily talking about wailing or incorehent speech with puffy red eyes. A simple tear down your cheek will do. As long as it wasn't because of the wind in your eyes.[/sub]

I must say, I like your avatar.

OT though. I cried last month. I'm a fairly hard person to make cry, but a friend of mine, who I hadn't seen in...about 6 years passed away.

I didn't even know what was going on with them, but this term, I recognized his brother in my one of my classes and did some catching up. He told me that his brother, who was 18, had had some sort of accident. He fell and hit his head on the curb. Soemone found him, but no one knows what happened. He was in a coma for a while, but passed away in September.

I went to the memorial service and spoke...or rather, I tried to speak. I hadn't seen him in years, but we were really close when we were at the same school. We were like brothers, nearly inseperable.

I never thought that the next time I'd see him would be because he had died. He was a year younger than me. Even though we had fallen out of contact with each other, it's still hard to believe that he's gone.

Clannad and Kanon you must watch, young padawon.

Sad girls in snow? Seen them.

 

[Nouw]

I cry when I'm alone, I don't like to cry around people.

"DAMN IT FRY I WAITED FOR YOU!"

 

[superbatranger]

The last time I cried was during New Years' Eve. I had a panic attack/nervous breakdown, and I didn't know what to do. Luckily, no one was around to see me...

 

[clockout]

Only in the rain, so none can see my tears =(

 

[clockout]

I cry when I'm alone, I don't like to cry around people.

"DAMN IT FRY I WAITED FOR YOU!"

If you're referring to the scene I think you are, that was one of the saddest things i've ever seen in my life.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Ummm...
Last time I cried was yesterday.
I cry a lot...
I'm easily moved by things, whether they are intended to cause an emotional reaction, or not.

 

[theevilsanta]

If you don't cry in the first 10 minutes of Up something is wrong with you. It's on Netflix watch instant. If your eyes are feeling too full and need a good draining, go for it.

I'm also an incredibly emotional drunk. Almost anything will make me tear up if I've been drinking. It's really embarrassing, because I'll do it in public. Otherwise I actually cry for real reasons very rarely.
