How often do you cry? And is it usually in public or private? I've often wondered if I'm unusual in that regard.

Being really sad or touched doesn't make me cry, and I've never wept at a movie or what have you. I generally only cry once or twice a year, always a hearty sobbing and almost always in public (because I have to be thoroughly stressed and frustrated to cry and I don't usually get that way in the comfort of privacy). 27y.o. female, jsyk, and it's been like this basically forever.

usually less than once every two month, but i was under a lot pressure recently where i had a cry streak for like three day. entertainment can, but i tend to avoid heavy stuff. i've cried in public before, but it's super embarrassing so i try avoiding it at all costs. i used to cry all the time as a kid, like at least weekly until i was seven.

female and 20 if that matters

I cry all the time lol (at movies, songs, books, whatever). It's pretty much always in private though because even though I'm a crybaby, I'm still kind of emotionally repressed and can't handle the idea of people seeing me cry (example: in my YA lit class a few months ago we watched a JK Rowling interview where she talked about how the idea of the mirror of erised came to her because she was thinking about the fact that she would give anything to just see her late mother for even a few minutes and I'm pretty sure that the effort of keeping my tears in nearly gave me an aneurysm even though it probably wouldn't have mattered because a couple of other people in class teared up)

Like...twice a year at most. I hate crying.

I love sed to not cry much, but with all my family's health problems lately I had my first bout we f stress crying in ever. I just walked in, sat down and started sobbing.

I cry at movies, shows, games, and books all the time, usually from a character death. I'll also cry due to stress, anxiety, or from being yelled at, but if I'm in public I'll do my best to avoid it.

Funerals and other tragic events don't do anything to me, though. I just seem to lock up and not react to it. I might cry later, after the fact, but at the event I can't.

I wish I'd cry less. I'm not particularly sentimental, though I'll tear up at a moving film or whatever... but I also struggle with depression and approximately zero self confidence. Any sort of confrontation, even if it's not negative, can leave me on the verge of tears. I hate it, so much, in my head I think of myself as a pretty down-to-earth person, but when the anxiety comes (and it'll come out of nothing), the tears come too.

I wish I could... not. I can't even meet a professor alone without that ball in my gut and my throat going dry. My voice was cracking and I had to book it out of there just because my professor was giving me (great, well-needed and appreciated) constructive criticism about my research proposal. He was perfectly friendly and pleasant. I think I should like, chug a glass of wine or something to relax before I have to go through confrontation of any sort, because embarrassment over feeling like crying just makes it harder to get a grip.

I'm FAR more likely to cry because I'm anxious/angry than because I'm sad.

Depends on if I've been taking my meds regularly. I cry ridiculously easy without them, any time I'm frustrated. Otherwise I don't cry much at all. It's weird to realize that actually. I was always known as a sensitive person who cries over everything and now that's not really true anymore.

I'm just a naturally weepy person; I cry a lot. Like, most movies/shows/games/fics that are the slightest emotional will make me cry. I'm sure I've even cried at commercials, though which ones I can't remember.

I try not to cry in front of other people (unless we're watching something together in which case, whatever, it's basically a lost cause and trying to stop it just leads to further embarrassment), and if I'm in a situation in public where I feel I'm about to cry I try to control it or take myself out of it. That doesn't happen often, but I don't want to start because I have trouble stopping.

But I've always felt odd to be like this, because my dad is a damn rock and almost nothing can bring him to tears. I think I've seen him cry about five times in my life (once was during LOTR, which cracks me up) so I always feel overemotional.

Over 20, female, since you shared.

Edited (Others reminded me that sometimes stress makes me cry. Or, well, being depressed but that's kind of a given.) 2015-01-26 00:15 (UTC)

I cry a lot more now than what I used to do. I used to be Little Miss No-Emotions for years when I was really depressed, and after getting some help all the emotions I had suppressed just came out.

Crying in private varies a lot on my mental state. At times I be a weeping mess for days, but other times, like now, I haven't really cried in weeks. I cry about 50 % of the time I talk to my father on the phone though due to some stupid, um, daddy issues, I guess.

I cry very easily when it comes to books and movies (or any other media really). My friends joke that you can tell whether a movie is good or not based on me crying. Other than at the cinema I very rarely cry in public. A couple of times on the bus and once at a bar that I remember.

I'm one of those people who almost only cries when angry, which is really annoying actually. Especially in fights.

Well, and I cry when people die and awful shit like that. Very rarely during a movie, but that is more an exception.

depends. Sometimes not much, but once I cried at least once a day for like a month straight. I never cry in public EXCEPT I did cry in one of my college classes once because a professor said some shit to me but that is the only time I can think of. (She was saying that people were just pretending to be my friends when secretly they didn't like me and were talking shit to her behind my back. Turned out this was a lie but yeah.)

I cry a lot though, is the point. Not at books/movies usually, I just get overwhelmed easily. Its a problem and I would like it to stop.

For statistical relevance: I am female and 21

I cry whenever I see an advert/show for an animal charity.

Also whenever I have an especially terrible driving lesson. Otherwise not at all.

I don't think I have ever really cried. I get teary sometimes, but I've never sobbed.

I bawl pretty often. One of the reasons I cut my testosterone dose was I lost the ability to cry and it was GODAWFUL. As a kid, I was a total crybaby, and I thought that was bad, but it does not COMPARE to the horrible sensation of being unable.

Depending on how well I'm doing, it can be once a month to multiple times weekly. (And during the REALLY bad years, I would cry every night.) I am okay with this, except in the way of, "If I'm crying every night, it's time to get my meds adjusted."

I cry really easily. Actually, I can fake cry on demand. But I'm a woman, so...would probably be harder for a guy.

I cry only for media-related reasons, which makes me seem like the most stoic person ever, and I'm really, really not. I don't cry at funerals, I'm not good at seeming sympathetic, but I cry during almost all movies so long as there's an epic climax. The movie doesn't even have to be sad!

I also cry when reading fanfiction, so really, I think my reasons for crying might just be based is backassward's land.

Only a couple times a year for my actual emotions plus some times more due to hormones now that I get my period nearly every month. I hate hormonal crying so much and I really miss when it didn't happen. Those are the only times I cry at media, too. (I'm a 28 yr old woman, by the way.)

I cry for everyone. I feel too many ~feels~. I cry probably every other day? I mean, I don't bawl out into a huge cry fest, but if I watch something touching or sad, a few tears will come out. I've cried at work, at the movies (the most hilarious and embarrassing one was at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), in public places, in the privacy of my home, in my car, in the closet, in the shower, you name it. I try not to cry in public because it's pretty damn embarrassing, but sometimes, I can't help it. But I guess I cry so that others don't have to. I've never seen my dad cry, I've only seen my two best friends cry a handful of times and we've all known each other basically all our lives.

I hardly cry at movies or tv shows, mostly because I find most of the dramatic/sad scenes hilarious, rather than heart wrenching. The closest I've come to crying was during Guardian of the Galaxy, that scene between Groot and Rocket when Ronon's ship blows up. Damn the little racoon tears. *sniff*

Books sometimes make me tear up, but I haven't cried over a book in years.

Otherwise, I hardly ever cry, and when I do, it's mostly due to frustration. I cry when I'm angry of frustrated, which can turn into a vicious circle when people try to comfort me because they think I'm sad and don't get that I am just really fucking livid. And then the consoling makes me even madder and I cry even more.

At the risk of being a walking stereotype, when I'm PMSing I can cry at overly sentimental grocery store commercials.

Otherwise, only usually during panic attacks, the frequency of which depends on my anxiety levels in general. Can do it several times a week, then a gap of many months. Being that the panic attacks give no fucks at to when they happen or where I am, it can be private or public, depending. Before my panic attacks started, I was much more self-conscious about crying in public, worried what people were thinking etc. Now, not so much.

I don't cry. I don't think it's bad to cry, I just... don't. It's not something that's in my emotional repertoire. The closest I come is sometimes I get a little misty at books or movies I really, really, really like. But that's all.

For reference, 25 yo dude.

I cry at sad movies, for sad parts of stories, for things that are just really touching, for the really emotional happy things, even pictures and sentimental cards, sometimes when singing/listening to songs (Ordinary People, those damn coffee commercials, when the mom gets home in Home Alone, any reunion of a soldier coming home and his/her family, etc.).

I also cry when I'm really upset - frustrated, angry, disappointed in myself, scared, etc. - when the emotion gets overwhelming, it comes out in tears.

At least once a day.

I cry a lot.
