Is it normal not to cry?

    I havent cried since the 9th grade and Im recently going to college. So technically its been 4 years. Its something wrong with me? People hav died, my parents fight a lot, my sisters and I sometimes argue pretty bad and my friends sometimes lie and my romantic relationship is nonexistant. All of this and not one single tear falls from my eyes. I mean seriously, is something wrong with me??!!

    I don't know. I am the same exact way. People think I am heartless or unfeeling or something. I don't show much emotion at times. For me it's a psychological thing. My dad always beat me and he'd do it worse if I cried and I was so afraid that I never cried or anything when he was gone. So nearly a decade after he started beating me (which lasted until I was thirteen when he died) I still can't cry even if I try. I am starting to be able to show emotions again but I still can't cry. Even in the wake of death and heartwrenching break-ups.

    Crying is good for you! But it doesn't mean anything is wrong with you if you don't cry...I mean my dad died and I didn't cry until like months after it happend..
    Its okay to cry! But don't feel bad if you don't, you may take it differently and express yourself another way rather then crying...It just all depends on the person...So you are fine...I think >> lol jk

    I still feel heartless coz Im a girl. Were supposed to be more emotional. When somebody is crying in front of me i get all awkward coz I just wanna get the heck out of there.

    It's alright. I think that there might be a subconcious reason for that. But I never studied psychology so I couldn't tell you.

    I dont cry either. I mean I do inside, but I just dont seem to have tears or something. I think its fine. It helps a lot in my situation because crying does not help little kids feel safe that I have to make little kids feel safe all the time. The way I see it, if God wanted you to cry then he would have made you more emotional.

    I didn't cry for a while, about 3 years? From like 5th grade till 7th. It was pretty depressing, sometimes you just need a good cry.

    This is not healthy at all. I know im a very happy person sometimes but othertimes im very sad or confuse 2. But i think i know why we dont cry. I think is because we dont want to show weakness. We feel that by not crying we are strong. Am i right?
