What Makes You Cry?

Everyone seems to be affected differently by events, and they cry differently, and at varied times.
For instance the only movie that I've ever cried while watching was Cats & Dogs, in the scene where "Lou" is thought dead (even though it was obvious that he was not). I've also felt teary-eyed and lump-in-the-throat sort of emotion while watching other movies about animals...
my sister, on the other hand, cries at everything.. romeo + juliet, moulin rouge, a walk to remember.. almost every sad movie she watches.

But what makes YOU cry?

I cry when I'm stressed, when my pets get harmed, when I think I'm about to lose something valuable, when I feel unloved and when I cannot achieve something that I really, really want.

share your story,

I cry when Im tired...its some sort of weird issue I have...if Im tired, anything can make me cry. But I have to be very very tired. Normally (while wide awake) I don't cry. No pain can make me cry, physical, mental or emotional. I used to cry a lot when I was younger because my life is very hard and my heart is very soft. But as I got older I realized that most things aren't worth my tears, and that no matter how badly my life sucks, it cant get worse (and yet it still does get worse, its a rip off if you ask me). I can, however, make myself cry on cue. If I think about it, I can make myself cry for hours.

Guilt, shame, embarrassment and painful memories. also when i'm worried, stressed or scared expecially about the future

I cry when im super angry & out of contol.
Or like the first poster wrote about animals, I cry over stuff like that too.
I dont really cry over many things because tears don't solve anything.
Oh i also cry when i hit my funny bone. hahaa that hurts like hell.

The fact that im an emo kid with no friends, im fat && ugly and i hate myself so much i crie myself 2 sleep at night.

YEP.

Honestly. I only cry when I can't understand something, and it takes me longer than it should to work out what it means, or how it works. A good example would be trigonometry. How much I would love to abolish trigonometry from the face of this earth.

I'm very emotional and ready to cry or laugh at any moment lol.

Onions

I was waiting for someone to say onions. Or I would've :).

Nothing makes me cry more than going to church and seeing people go to the altar when my pastor asks if people want to accept Christ as their Lord and saviour...I'm very religous and cant help but bawl...not sure if its because I'm proud, or hurt that so many people are in need

I also cry in sad movies...just about every movie because movies are so fake and I always wish real life could be a movie with all happy endings....

I cry when other people cry as well...even If I dont know them, I'll cry because I hate seeing people in pain..and if they are happy tears then I cry with them as well because I love seeing people happy

Music is the only thing that makes me cry.

Yeah, I definitely get teary eyed when I'm hearing some intense, climactic classical music - especially when I'm hearing it live. Also - and this is really nerdy - I almost always nearly cry during good, moving, picture montages, when they're set to music. Like they have on lots of commercials, or on shows on National Geographic channel, and the like. I'm like "bugs crawling on a twig! an ocean! a small child! a picture of the earth!" And then I tear up. Yep.

I seriously cry if I'm very angry, or feel like I have no power.

Frustration, onions, or a wash of emotions all at once (like if I'm sad, tired, and frustrated, or lonely, angry, and insecure)

I cried when I lost someone close to me,
when pets died and when my friends are hurting and there's nothing I can do to help them.

I cry whenever i listen to that song: Endlessly by b4-4

I cry when I know the answer and did it wrongly in some part.

I cry when someone is disapointed in me, well i hold back the tear.
i cry when ive had enough of someone (when there bulling me)
i cry when my world turns black (bad lol)

alot of the time i swallow my tears, i feel a lump in my throut and i sorta blink hard and hold them back...

Bees!!! rejection.

I cry when I feel left out

I cry when I feel alone

I cry when I can't succeed something I really want

I cry to get my anger down when I get angry to someone

I cry when I lose someone I value

I cry when I'm missunderstood

I cry when I'm rejected from something

I cry when someone tells me rude and heartless words

Donâ??t get me wrong. I can get teary on very depressing music. However, the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack isn't so much depressing as to make me weep.

I do love 'Elysium' - Lyndhurst Orchestra (Gladiator). I tend to sob dramatically at that soundtrack.
On my last day of school they played 'I Believe I Can Fly' - R Kelly. It was only when I realized I'd be parted from such wonderful girls, I'd fully heard and comprehended the song.

Oh. Now I'm all teary again.
:(

I cry when ever old people cry from being hurt emotionally... Some songs make me cry. And seeing my guy friends cry makes me tear up. They have it hard. Grls can cry more openly than guys. And us grls can talk about everything. Guys are sort of shut off.

When the people I love are in pain. WHen I Loose people I love. Pain, thougths of not making it, and sadness.

Oh, now I have to confess how truly emotional I am.

Let's see...Lots of music makes me cry. Jeff makes me cry. My parents make me cry. My sister makes me cry. Hearing about other's misfortunes can make me cry. Cute, baby animals make me cry (Jeff makes fun of me whenever my eyes start watering because there is some adorable animal with huge eyes starting at me...), umm. I'm going to say...that's about it.

But really, do you know anyone else who cries when they see an adorable animal? Hahaha, I crack myself up. I can't stop smiling, my eyes water, and I can't speak except for sort of...squeeking.

And I guess sometimes Jeff makes me cry in a good way, because he can make me so ridiculously happy.

Okay, I did it. I spilled the beans. Come on, guys.

Well I've found out that I probably have a few mental/emotional disorders (thanks to people of course) and I think they have caused me to become hypersensitive. It doesn't always make me cry but a lot of things hurt my feelings. I never understood why I cried so much until I did some research. I use to be very sad during my 7th-8th grade years. I cried at least five nights a week. I lived a sad life then. Now I'm better. MUCH better. I have Kip. :) That's all I ever wanted. I realized that some of things that make me cry or hurt are because of some of my OCD. I feel very insulted if one of my parents takes the window seat in a restaurant and won't move when I tell them I need to sit there. They understand now but a while ago my dad wouldn't move so I was miserable. No this isn't a snotty kid wants the window thing this is a kid feels the need to sit by it because it's away from other people, she's use to it, it's closed in. It may be hard to understand because it's hard to explain. Oops gotta go I'll be back later. :)

Alright I'm back for a short bit. Well anyways to help explain a little more....For any of you that know anything about OCD you should understand that there are certain rituals that I do. The seat thing was one of them so I kind of flip if one of my rituals changes. It's very strange to me. I get very upset if people are yelling. It doesn't even have to be directly at me. I'm very sensitive to bad vibes. My brother is usually in a bad mood (I swear he has a disorder of some sort) so I feel uncomfortable with him just being on the same floor as me. Seriously. You wouldn't believe how uncomfortable he makes me feel. But that's another story for another fourm. :) My OCD makes me have uncontrolable thoughts so I often picture murder scenes in my head over and over again and picture bad things happening. I don't mean to it just happens. That makes me cry. I'm much better than I use to be though. Much better....I also use to put myself down a lot. I'd think of wonderful things that I want to happen and then of course the other me has to come in and say why are you even bothering thinking of this it will never happen. So that made me cry.

I always cry when i am frustrated or tired. also the usual happy and sad

Jennifer, I have OCD too. I used to think everyone had uncontrolled, flash images of killing each other, murder, rape, etc...Then I talked to a therapist.

Ha ha. Small word.... :) Yeah I've done a lot of research on it and now I understand why I was so messed up as a child! It even states that it often starts during childhood! I was so bad then....with the imagery part. I'm still bad just in a different category. :) I hate when people talk about it in health class because a lot of people don't really have a clue about it besides the clean and organized part which isn't always true and can also be the opposite.

Ha. :) I've read and heard that if you chew gum whilst chopping onions that your eyes shouldn't water.

Sad movies. And sad songs. So basically, anything sad.

Anger
panic attacks
my dad
frustration

Lots of things make me cry,but very few make me cry in front of anyone.

Eh,only emotional pain.
Physical pain dont make me cry anymore.

Explosive diarrhea.

BlankIllusion! How did I not add you to the mandatory member list of THE CLUB? Oops...well, you're on there now. You better apply!

Or I will cry...

When I'm really angery, misunderstood, or frustrated (like with my evil math homework) also some songs and some movies as well as having people and pets close to me die.

The Fox and The Hound.

that movie always makes me cry.

Reality vs. fantasy

Listening to my mum cry, watching my mum cry, Hitting my toes really hard, frustration, over tired, emotional pain that keeps stabbing at you, strong physical pain, friends, family anything and everything seems to make me cry recently

Relizing you still love somebody when it's too late. . .
