Things That Make You Cry/emotional

[Fierce Critter]

(Please and thank you!)

So, what else makes you cry besides movies?

I can't get through the song "When She Loved Me" (from Toy Story 2) without crying. Reminds me of the kitten I lost a couple years ago. I try singing along, and I just lose it.

Weddings make me weep, no matter whether or not I'm close to the bride or groom.

I get pretty emotional during lots of different religious services. I need a half box of tissues at the ready during funerals. I become an absolute blubbering mess, and I get embarassed. I don't do it to call attention to myself, and I try my damndest to stop, and I just can't.

Hmmm...

Extreme amounts of physical pain...

[torn asunder]

i think i can count the times i've cried in the last 2-3 years on one hand, and even then, it's only that one, solitary tear-down-the-cheek that all us manly men do on rare occasions...

[Fierce Critter]

I also mean other strong emotions. Something that evokes outrage, anger, etc.?

Not just talking crying here, though it's what mostly comes to mind when I think about myself getting emotional.

The stupid little copper airplane music box my grandfather left me.

Everytime I hear its little music box music, it makes me SOB.

"fly me to the moon" is the song....just reminds me off all the time I missed with my Grandfather, but also reminds me of the little time I DID get to spend with him.

Anytime I see stuff from the humane society....all the sad stories of abuse and stuff....

I SOB

Anything invloving the 9/11 footage.....SOB.

Sometimes reading the bible makes me cry.

Soemtimes I just cry cause I feel better afterwards.

actually, no, i don't feel any emotions strongly anymore... not sure if that's a good or bad thing, really. on one hand, it could mean that i'm seriously emotionally repressed - on the other, it could just mean that i've finally learned how to experience emotions without letting them overpower/get the best of me, which is the hand i prefer to consider!

Sometimes I get really sad that I am hurt physically... er...

But more to the point... sometimes I look at my wife and feel so happy hat I get choked up... is that what you mean?

when i get really angry i tend to cry. so frustrated and not know what to do so i cry. not as much as i used to but it still has happened.

certain things on tv made me cry (when pg... commericals usually. but only when pg)

some movies make me cry. but not always. i don't cry as easily as i used to. and pretty much only when it involves death.

some songs make me teary. i don't know why, they are not even actually sad songs. just make me teary. cure songs used to make me cry but i got over it

things on the news make me cry. when it has to do with kids dying or other things (ie. kidnapped, raped, hit by a car, left home alone...)

death will often make me cry. even if i am not close to the person. just the pain i know that others feel over the death will make me feel pain too.

over all anything bad happening to elderly people or children really gets to me.

I saw a wounded animal by the side of the road and everyone was just driving around it ignoring it while it kept trying to get back up and whinning.....but I honestly just wanted to shoot it in the head and put it out of its misery.....

Feed the children specials get to me though.

one of the last scenes in "Meet Joe Black" makes me upset.

The scene where the characters played by Anthony Hopkins & Brad Pitt, walk up and over the stone bridge signifying Anthony's character going off to die.

One song that makes me upset, even as Im typing this, is the last track on Black Label Society's 1919 Eternal CD.

It is America the Beautiful done on accoustic guitars, no vocals.

When I hear that, I think of 9/11 and then I start to cry, thankfully Im alone when I hear that song.

I am becoming more aware of the fact that I have an emotional side to me.

Im also aware of the relatively strong control I have over my emotions which has as a result made me a strong person.

I am human though, and sometimes people and or situations affect me in ways that I did not expect/anticipate, and certain emotionals come out.

Extreme frustration has had the effect of eliciting an almost violent reaction from me in the past.

There were times very early in our relationship when we didn't know how to discuss things rationally, and Jon (pre-Effexxor) could get really nasty and turn things personal, while I would be just trying to stick to facts and keep things calm. Sometimes he'd be so stubborn and sometimes even get mocking and nasty, and I'd end up sometimes throwing something (not AT him) or screaming I'd get so absolutely frustrated, it would come exploding out of me uncontrollably.

Thank goodness we were able to learn how to communicate effectively, without getting personal or nasty. I haven't thrown anything in years.

When I was really, seriously hitting rock-bottom from total and complete unhappiness while in North Carolina, I really did reach a state when one of those arguments drove me to slam a metal folding chair down on the floor to the point of bending it out of shape, then when things didn't get any better, I ended up literally pulling my hair out and falling on the floor screaming.

That's when we started to realize that something more than simple unhappiness was probably happening to me. I really was going insane. Thankfully, Jon thought clear enough to check the side-effects of some medication I was on at the time. Turned out one of them was basically short fuse & depression. Stopped that medication, and I got better.

I've often wondered if a near lifetime of pent-up, unexpressed anger and frustration would come exploding out of me in a bad way someday. I think I've gotten better at dealing with situations before they end up roiling and festering inside me. It's pretty hard to get me overly upset about things in an angry or frustrated way these days.

But I still cry at the drop of a hat.

I have been known to be misty at commercials... but a real break down sobbing cry? last week I dreamnt about my Dad. He was yelling at me about something.. calling me his favorite thing... "dumb ass"

Eventually I woke up. I was fine at first. I lit a cig and walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water... smiling... I talked with Dad... then I broke down and cried. Hard. for about an hour. actually... I'm crying now...

I want my Dad BACK GOD DAMNIT!!!

ok... I'm going out side.

I've been crying over everything lately. I've been under a lot of stress the last couple months.

There are a few songs that make me cry, because they remind me of various things.

I also cry when I get really angry at someone I love, because I think I feel guilty that I'm angry at them, then I get more angry that they made me cry. How fucked up is that?

I have been going through this frequently where my brother is concerned.

I totally know where you are at. Hugs.

I cried for a few days when my dog died. And for about 2 weeks after the '04 elections. Losing faith in your country can do that to you.

What makes me cry is still being state side. I'm now in GA and I should be gone next week on my way to Kuwait.

I hate the fact that I am still here in the states and I am alone. I sit and wonder what I could be doing, when I am doing nothing here. I get scared because I wonder if what people tell me is true.

All I have is my cell phone to keep me sane, and let me talk to friends and family. But after I hang up, I'm alone again. Alone to sleep, alone to eat, alone to do anything.

It really takes my everything to not cry. But how can you when all you have is a pillow to comfort?

*hug* Why are you alone? Isn't there any social aspect to your re-training or whatever it is they're doing?
