What's the dumbest thing you've ever cried about?

[Headsprouter]

I'm so jealous of people who don't cry or seldom cry. Crying is the most pathetic display.

I've met worse than me, but...let's just say I'm a spineless wimp.

FML. I should have been born a beautiful, redheaded female. The all of my shortcomings would be excused, and I'd work harder.

Example: I cried (well...my eyes leaked a lot of water, no noise) at the end of Bioshock 2. I identify with monsters. I...I'm not sure what that means.

That right there is a crying shame.

Doesn't really qualify, but I paced around for nearly half an hour, trying to calm my nerves, so I WOULDN'T cry.

Why? It was a point of pride, I simply wanted to be able to tell my friends that Mordin's death in ME3 didn't cause me to tear up. Of course, I would posit that pacing back and forth like a fool is close enough...

Most recently it was the Reichenbach falls episode of Sherlock even now, I can't watch the end of that episode without tearing up a little, even though I have now watched the entirety of season 3. I am quite a big Sherlock fangirl. I have always loved the Sherlock Holmes stories from when I was very young, (my dad used to read them to me as part of my bedtime routine), and I think Benedict Cumberbatch is a pretty, pretty man so it is a combination of my favourite things.

I think the most ridiculous thing I ever cried over was being 8 years old, taking this cheap transformer knock-off toy to school, letting someone else play with it during class and having the teacher confiscate it as a result. Sure, kids get emotional over stupid stuff, but even my 8-year-old self was embarrassed by that.

I think it's too bad that people are listing movies and games here - I think it's ought to be a triumph for a game or film to get you to cry. That's just art - no shame in falling for it!

Spoiler: That goddamned vollyball.

Also I get emotional when I hear the song Landslide.

I'll cry over really manipulative, melodrama. Even if I know it's meant to be over the top to elicit a laugh. I just can't help it. It's bad. The Anti-Thinker's park story caused me to tear up.

Spoiler: That goddamned vollyball.

Hey hey hey, there is nothing wrong about crying to that so don't feel embarrassed. When someone laughed at me and commented saying, "why are you crying, it's just a ball", I pretty much lost it and it went something like this;

"Just a ball? JUST A BALL? That was his only friend... his best friend on that island for 4 YEARS!! They shared the hard times together, the highs and lows and they are blood brothers right there. Just a ball?? Shut Up!
WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOON!!!!" *cries in a corner to the rest of the night*

Okay maybe I did overreact a little. LOL

Depression does fraked up stuff to your emotions.

That it does... :/

Case in point, OT: standing behind a mother and her two (very well behaved, I might add) young children at the supermarket...

...

Yeah, makes more sense when you know my state of mind at the time.

I've only cried like 7 times during the entire course of my life, the most embarrassing one was when I was 15 and everyone was making too much noise in the classroom, I kinda broke down right then and started yelling at everyone to shut up while crying and then I just started punching the first person that got close to me and I also started laughing, which is something else that I rarely ever do, so basically I went completely bonkers, I dropped out of High School not long after that.

Still pretty embarrassing to do that in front of so many people, they stopped bothering me after that but I could see in their eyes that they thought I was going to kill them or something, which I really couldn't stand.

I cried when the ant got killed in Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Oh, plenty of dumb things. I can give you a list of random bollocks that have done it recently:
- Doing something wrong at work, even the tiniest thing like breaking a plate
- People not texting me back
- Not tidying my room after telling myself I need to soon (this is actually universal, I'm the king of putting things off)
- I scratched the lens on my phone's camera the other day

It's this kind of unimportant crap that puts into a mess most days. It just puts me into a bad mood, then spirals down from there until everything is completely unbearable and I have to go outside and take some deep breaths. Pretty sure it's not normal so I'm going to see my doctor, but at the moment I don't really know, I might just be a douche.

Third grade - not having some of my friends on my car on the trip to Chuck E Cheese my mom was helping chaperon...

 

[Spade Lead]

Being bipolar really sucks.

I have cried because it was 12 degrees (Fahrenheit) outside and I had no Dr. Pepper in the house, and didn't want to walk to the store to get more. In the middle of a House marathon.

Actually, that sounds like a perfectly normal reason to cry.

 

[DementedSheep]

Realizing there was no milk so I couldn't make pasta . It's even stupider because there is a dairy less than 5 minutes from my house.

People not replying or me interpreting an innocent statement wrong. The mental gymnastics I do to make a simple thing into evidence that someone actually hates me and is just trying not to show it is amazing.

Embarrassing things I did 10 years ago that no one else remembers.

Thinking I have illness and I'm going to die when don't have any solid reason to actually think I have it.

I cry over of lots of stupid shit and things that aren't real but oddly when its things I SHOULD cry about (like people I know dying or being very sick) I don't. It's not that I don't care, I just can't bring myself to cry.
