Why am i crying?

[BillyShakes]

My depression is usually masked if I had a good day or two but it only takes a few bad things for my depression to show itself again.
If it's continious or something really bad my depression develops into my suicidal stage.

Yeah, I'm exactly the same way. Anything mildly disappointing sets me off.
My problem is that I'm also highly introspective, and I think a lot about mistakes I've made, or friends I've lost for some reason or another, and that has gotten me to the brink of tears in some bad spots before.

Somewhat on the topic of this thread - Billy Joel music.
I have a playlist of his songs that always bring me to the brink of tears.

you too? It's not necessarily Billy Joel in my case, but anything slightly like it... phil collins, genesis david bowie and petra berger have some songs that make me feel all emotional.

Genesis' "Driving the Last Spike," and "Man on the Corner," have actually brought me to tears on the bus before, when I'm at my worst.
Collin's "Both Sides of the Story," and "Seperate Lives," also can get me down.
David Bowie's "Rock 'N' Roll Suicide," and "God Knows I'm Good," can do me. I find it strange that the latter song can do that though.

Listen to Billy Joel's "Tomorrow is Today," from Cold Spring Harbor.
The single most depressing song I have heard in my entire life.

I cried what I saw the episode of Lost where you find out Locke was a cripple and miserable before the plane crash. Once more when you find out his father used him to get a new kidney then shut him outside his house.

Does that count?

When Turpster and Mike Schramm left wow.com I cried for like three hours. I guess that's cuz I was like Turpster's biggest fan and I loved that podcast :'(

damn... I see what you mean. that's heavy...
The whole feeling of being powerless...
even though I believe you shape your own destiny, and therefore 'know' that tomorrow doesn't have to be today, it still REALLY gets to me.
that seriously brought me to the edge...
guess i'd better go to bed now or I won't be able to do anything tomorrow. bloody paper...

Well, I didn't shed a tear or even fell sad when my grandmother or two family friends died but I am almost driven to tears when watching the intro of old cartoons I used to watch. Nostalgia makes me sadder then death apparently. Crying is good for the body since it allows the release of pent up emotions in a healthy manner so don't be afraid to cry. (nobody begrudges girls for crying anyway).

I have to agree with this. I tear up over what I forgot from my childhood.

Oh, and about the depression people; I wasn't the crying type, I was more the 'I don't feel any emotion most of the time' type.

I don't know your reason for crying... possibly a mixture of hormones and stress. Nothing to be embarrassed about I've cried my self to sleep many of times... not for simple stuff like injuries from sparring or genuine pain but when I think back on things I get stressed and depressed, at times frustrated. I cry about it.Thinking of what happened and what could have been if I wasn't a complete and utter tosser at that time. I feel often that I've wasted 19 years of my life and start weeping or if I'm insulted or ignored I get upset. I get upset when I think of people being inconsiderate or causing trouble for no reason. The feeling of being left out or being treated differently then any one else. These are things that set me off. Some of these things send me into a mix of crying out of being upset or frustrated to the point of anger and rage.

What I do doesn't feel irrational I think most humans do what I do, you probably do... people on this forum possibly do. Most wont admit it but they probably do what I or you do. Even the loudest of people... away from these forums and the internet I have a lot of charisma and I'm the class clown type that well doesn't seem the type to burst into tears over this kind of thing... however the reality is far from the truth.

[Coaxill]

Oh for fuck's sake, this is threadworthy? You're making a thread about crying?

People cry. Whoop-de-fucking-doo.

Supportive, Not-Wanting-To-Get-Banned Me​

...Yeah, I... cried, a lot during my more pubescent times. Mainly during my suicidal phase and it was usually packaged with tremendous guilt, too. Joy! But, I take it that your crying is more... "Waa", as opposed to "OH MY GOD I'VE HAD THIS PACKAGED UP INSIDE ALL MY LIFE AND I WANT TO KILL MYSELF".

Maybe it's a gender thing.

Internet Anonymity Me​

Well, one time I had an argument with a girl, and as I was walking off, I called her a ***** (it was justified. Totally fucking justified). Unfortunately, my mum happened to be working in the canteen that day, and heard. She... actually said that it was fine and that she didn't care, but I was damaged. I went to my room, turned on the radio, and... an ad celebrating mothers was on.

I totally bawled my eyes out. Seriously, I hadn't cried like that since... well, the previous year, but last years spray barely counted.

There.

[sub]Thank God for the internet.[/sub]

this post deserves recognition for its awesomeness in terms of formatting and content
RECOGNIZED!
I'll +1 the 'Manly Me'
but my supportive, no-wanting-banhamma-me would be more of a hey, it's not thaat big a deal, I'm sure you can hold it together if you try enough, at least until you are in private, when its perfectly okay.
BUT i nod in shame at your conduct for internet anonymous-you.

D'aww, thanks for the recognition, buddy. A mate can always appreciate that kinda thing!

[sub]Did you see WHAT I DID THARRR?[/sub]

Because you didn't capitalize the 'I'.

Hello, octopus guy! Congrats on your cumulative 51 posts.

Oh yeah... I noticed that too.

Grammar. It counts.

 

[Defyant]

Ugh...some of these posts...

Get over it.

Either help or fuck off.

 

[Booze Zombie]

People cry over the strangest things, I cried at the end of the first Blackadder series... but everyone died and they had someone singing a mornful melody, so I think it's justified.

 

[IxionIndustries]

When I look at the scenery around me, like when it snows at night, or around Halloween, I start to tear up, simply because it's just so, not really pretty or beautiful, but cool looking.

 

[Darktau]

Because your a sad panda /reference

OT: Hormones

 

[Tonimata]

I used to be rather emotional. After realizing it's not worth it I simply stopped crying, and well...
Started kicking ass.
AT ALL TIMES.

 

[ffxfriek]

i dont cry but i get waves of feeling like crap and not wanting to do anything (male) which happen more frequently lately. meh wat can ya do?

 

[Gorrister]

I haven't cried in a long time. A long long time. I'd still like to say I'm in tune with my emotions, such as I get all gooey when I see a dog/puppy. I may also be appointed Godfather to my friends baby, when she has it so I'm getting OVERLY excited about that aha. And thats another thing, she's due in like a week, so I'm really really excited about that.

I've came to the conclusion that you absoloutely have to take the good with the bad, as cliche as that sounds. If I had a quid for everytime I had a good experience result from a neagtive one, I'd have about £23. And with that money I could buy abottle of Jack and drink to forget the bad times anyway!

Jokes aside, everyone has their own way of dealing with emotions, and theres absoloutely nothing wrong with being overt with it, regardless of your gender.

 

[Yog Sothoth]

Are you a woman?

*Edit*
Yes you are. And a cute one too

Hey, he's right, you are pretty.

Are you guys actually hitting on her...? On an internet forum...? What's wrong with you people?

First, don't put my name on there when it's not me you're quoting, lol. Second, nope, I am not "hitting" on anyone, merely stated an observation. Is there something wrong with that?

Yeah, I noticed a bit too late that I'd misquoted you... I did point it out earlier, and I do apologize.

Now, I'm not gonna split hairs with you, but to the casual observer it would appear that you were indeed hitting on the OP... That may not have been your intent, but that's what it looks like. I just calls 'em as I sees 'em...

 

[Layzor]

Nope, happy literally every second of every day, whether i'm playing games, snowboarding, I'm even happy when I should be sad like if #I get dumped or spmething.

When you get sad, stop being sad and be awesome instead.

 

[Woodsey]

"Ok surely im not the only one who randomly finds something to cry over."

I think most other women are like you. Can't say many men are though.

 

[Floppertje]

Ugh...some of these posts...

Get over it.

you do understand that there is a difference between actually having emotions and being able to talk about them and being emo right? If you don't, I feel sad for you because you're not just a douchebag, but a douchebag with no understanding of how people work. going around with an attitude of 'emotions are for wankers' is just a sign of insecurity.
and yes, linkin park DOES make me sad. the kind of sad where I start to wonder what the music industry has come to and the kind of sad that makes me want to turn off the damn radio.

ontopic: go watch the fairly odd parents episode. /thread
