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)

Haha, you and your dad are like the opposite of me and my dad! I almost never cry and he's so sentimental. Bless his heart. He was banned from reading that kids book "I'll Love You Forever" to us because he cried EVERY TIME. It takes all sorts to make a world~

Awww. I'll admit that men who aren't afraid to cry are a big weakness for me, so I just find that endearing. I connect with sentimental people, haha.

I don't know that book (it's a Canadian picture book?) but I can see why he stopped. It would be hella distracting to listen to someone read through their tears. (Good thing I never plan on having kids because I would be the same.)

I always tried hard to avoid it in public for the same reason. There was that terrible cycle where frustration made me start crying and then I was frustrated about crying in public and how it wouldn't stop and that just kept the crying going more.

God, yea, I know that feeling. On my end even if frustration wasn't what started it once I was crying I would become frustrated and like you say, it starts to feel like a never ending cycle. That thing has happened around my family more than in public, but it isn't exactly a pleasant experience and it's understandable for you to want to avoid it.

I don't mind crying because of media, but because of real life? I'd rather not, haha. (Not that any of us have much choice in the matter. Unfortunately. We should all have switches.)

That's how I watch media: there are almost always tears involved.

Did you cry at these commercials? I bawled. At the library (long story, media-related project.)

Shittttttttttttttttttt

I hadn't seen a one of these, and I cried through every one. At first I thought I was going to make it through the second one without tears, but nope. The first two are absolutely beautiful film making. I've seen movies less engaging and emotional than those commercials.

That's almost cheating, anon!

DA

If you've never seen this one, you clearly need to. Happy crying.

Holy shit, WHY ARE THESE COMMERCIALS SO BEAUTIFUL?! THIS IS ABOUT BOOZE, IDGI.

But yes, I admit that my heart wanted to burst out of my chest while watching that. There were tears, and smiles! Geez, how many more commercials like these are there? (I sort of want more.)

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

Here, watch my favourite short film, 'Validation'.
