Never really cried ever

[Emme888]

[I]I know they always say [B] BOYS NEVER CRY[/B] , but I'm a girl and I never really cried emotionally. Yes I cried when I'm pain, like when I get hurt. But I [U]Never ever[/U] cried at a movie, funeral, wedding, birth, anything. I may feel happy or sad but I never cried from saddness or joy. I don't know if I just don't want to cry or if I don't let myself cry.

I have a great tolerance for pain, my doctor even remarked at it, I don't know why. But maybe this had something to do with it. I don't get it, my mom cries at movies all the time, and I never can. Oh, well.

Does anyone else never ever cry?[/I]

I will remain with a high tolerance of pain, and never cry. Am I a robot...........?

I don't cry out of pain ever. The last time i cried out of pain was when i was like 8. I didn't cry when i snapped my fore arm and i was surprised by that. But i did cry when my great granma died. But thats cuz i was really close to her. So, yeah, but i havn't cried ever since.

[Guest dayday]

I wenr through a few weeks without crying and it freaked me out since I cried everyday. Most of the time I would make myself and then keep on walking. But at funerals and such I always just stare blankly. I want to cry but I don't like to cry in front of others. It makes me feel weak and girlish then everyone tried to comfort me. I hate that.

Different people, different emotional behaivours. Not crying doesn't mean you're insensitive or anything... you just deal with your emotions in a different way.

[Dragonballzman]

Well, these days I usually end up screaming swear words instead of crying, it seems to work pretty well...As for emotionally, no, never done that before. Reminds me of my Year 6 Leavers Assembaly, where we all did a play before going to High School...When we were singing the last song, everyone I could see was crying besides me...Even the school bullies were blubbering everywhere...Kinda made me feel a bit heartless inside. o.O;;

I cried at a good friends funeral a while ago, but not since.
At least not that I can think of or would willingly talk about.

I'm a pretty emotional person. Sadness-wise at least. People try to comfort me and I get in their little faces about it later. I'm not really one for comfort.

[Guest Forbidden One]

[color=blue]Well there's only been two times I've cried, when my aunt and uncle passed away. Besides that generally it takes quite a lot to effect me I almost never cry wether I break a bone or have a broken heart. *pounds on chest anime style* I'm a pretty sturdy person you could say.[/color]

[Fall]

I'd say a few times, though I tried not too. I don't often cry anymore. When I do, it's usually emoional, and not usually physical.

Well, good for you. One of the main things that can get in the way of several things is emotion. Nowdays, you have to be tough. Wimpering is looked down upon, even if it isn't wimpering. But it does have some bad side-effects...

I could never understand cryiing at a movie. To me, all I see is actors, and fakeness. At a wedding, it is a happy time. I have never seen a man cry at a happy time. Only women. Then again, women are very understanding with these things, and are not so much afraid to hide their emotions, and express it in many ways. Almost makes me envious.

A funeral never effected me either. Most of the time, I'm thinking: [i]O.K. did he/she go to heaven... or not?[/i]. I don't see death as something to be feared. Chances are, your going to see that person again anyway, so whats the use crying about it?

Then again, people tell me that I am emotionally nuderd.

Not really for pain either. After a certain point in our lives, we quit responding to pain through crying. We usuallyl respond to it with anger, or suprise.

The only time I ever cry is from severe anger. You see, when I get angry, my eyes burn, and it makes them water. But that is what I mainly use for an excuse. I actually am crying. You see, if I don't cry when I am madly in anger, I feel rediculessly depressed all day. You see, when I get angry, the chemical in my head, such as certonin (sp?) I believe get jacked around, causing me to be depressed and sad. I usually just silently let it all out when I'm in bed. I cry for about maybe half an hour, then I don't feel bad anymore. I feel just fine. I go to sleep, then forget about it.

Now, some side effects of not crying is severe bitterness, anger, depression, and in worst cases, hatred. The only real side effect of crying is depression, usually temporary, and mabye minor dehydration.

Remeber, there is nothing wrong with giving your eyes a little leak now and then. You girls got it off easy. You aren't supposed to be strong, brave, and cold to emotion.

[color=blue]The only time I can remember crying properly, emotion-wise anyway was when I found my brother doing drugs...Kinda tore me apart. he just seemed so childish and innocent, because he was so high, but it hurt me even more because he knew what he was doing. A few days later I told him that if I ever saw him like that again, I would knock the **** out of him...[/color]

[ladyscorp2006]

The last time I really cried I was 5. I don't remeber what happened but since then I just don't show emotions anymore.

[color=blue]That was very well put, so that's what happened to me. Instead of crying I became a ball of severe bitterness, anger, and hatred. :devil: [/color]

[size=1]I swear, this whole stereotype actually gets on my nerves.

You'd be surprized. There was a recent study done [I read it in the Bulletin] that showed that women were less likely to cry than men, especially in times of pain. In fact, it remarked, that women felt pain more highly, expressed it less, and the drugs they were given for pain were usually 'dainty drugs', rather than morphine and such.

The point of the funeral is to comfort the relatives, not the dead person. People may tell you that it's about celebrating life and so on, but when a person dies, the relatives need a way of letting go. That is what happens at a funeral.

We cry at funerals because you just can't stop thinking about the person. You can't stop thinking about how just a while ago, they were smiling and laughing. And now, you'll never see their smile again. It hurts inside -- the best way to let that out is cry.

A lot of people cry from frustration.

That's what most people do. They cry to relieve emotion inside them -- if it wells up you you have to let it out, or you will break down in a big storm of crying. One of my friends has done that.

[quote]You girls got it off easy. You aren't supposed to be strong, brave, and cold to emotion. [/QUOTE]

See, this is what annoys me. Girls are taught from an early age [i]not[/i] to cry, or complain of pain, because someone will automatically reject it as 'being sissy' or as 'being a girl', or 'being weak'. We're taught that we have to be strong, brave, and cold to emotion -- and then people complain that we 'got it off easy'. While you may go through some pretty horrific things, have you ever been present at a childbirth -- seen the pain on their faces?

Now, I have a high pain tolerance. I broke my ankle, and then walked on it. The doctor didn't even think it was broken. We had an x-ray 'just in case', and lo and behold, it was broken. I didn't think it was, and I hadn't cried.

I cry often. Possible once a week or so. However, I have not cried in front of a person in years. I'm not going to say something like 'I haven't cried since I was 4' because I have. I cried at my father's funeral, I cried when my grandfather died, I cried when I graduated from primary. However, I honestly cannot remember crying in front of a person since then. Want to know why? Because I -- possibly because I'm a girl -- have come to realise that crying in public is noisy, messy, and unflattering to you, your manners, or the person that raised you. Now, whether or not it's because my [b]brother[/b] cries at the drop of a hat, or because I'm just a cold person in public, I don't know.

But girls certainly don't have it easier than boys. Just because there's a stereotype doesn't mean it's correct.

I think it may be because you restrain yourself emotionally. Some people do that automatically, some people do it consciously.

And by the way, who are [b]they[/b]? How do [b]they[/b] know everything?

Eh, what can I say? I'm raving on, and I don't think I'm really coherant. Which is understandable. I'm currently ill.[/size]

Actually, what this said is wrong. Men can cry at a wedding all they want. I have seen more men than women cry at the last one I went to. And I saw everyone from where I was standing. Some men like to express their emotions wildly and do it front of large crowds. While some woman, like me who's not exactly a full grown on, like to keep others from knowing if something is wrong with them. Although they can still open up whenever they want.

Girls do not get off easy. They experience severe pain through life. Some like to be cold to emotions. I myself am. I make myself cry just by singing a sad saong to myself, but in a quiet place where no one is. If I am at a funeral I won't cry. Most of the time it's because I'm not sad. People have to face that the other is gone. I might drop one tear and that's it. But most of the time I have a pack of tissues in my pocket for other people. Even if I look at the bodies it seems like they're still alive. Just imagine they are moving or sleep.

If woman cried everytime they saw a sappy movie or are happy about something, then we'd be drowning in tears by now. Most people don't like to cry or don't know how. You can do as you please since everyone in life has the same problems. Everyone is not the same, but they might go through the same things sometimes.

I know I'm talking about myself a lot but it is the same for some other people. I try to get comforted in church. My mother was touched and passed out on the floor. They layed a cloth over her face and kept going on with the service. My grandmother turned around and told me that she was going to be alright. I was 8-10 when that happened. I can't remember exactly when. I knew what was going on but people treat me like a child even though I wasn't that old. That's why some people don't like to cry in public cause everyone will try to comfort them and it gets annoying. I wasn't even crying when it happened. I was half asleep.

[Spikey]

Some people cry just because they get there feelings hurt easily or something in that nature. I have cried at funareals and when I was real little at scary movies. But usually nothing else. I'm not in pain a lot so. I haven't cried in awhile really but it could happen. I'm hardly ever in pain.

[Semjaza]

I've never really cried about anything since I was a child... and even then, I think it was just over stupid crap like candy.

When my father was killed, a friend that was staying at our house told me. I just went in the bathroom and sat there because it just didn't seem real. I didn't cry. It wasn't in me.

We went to the funeral, I still didn't cry. It was rather surreal. I don't remember what I was thinking totally (I was only like 8, almost 9), but it wasn't really an overwhelming sadness. It was a slight confusion, but with a strange amout of calmness.

I still have no idea why. A lot of people I tell this to seem to think it's very strange. To this day, I've still yet to cry about it. It's not like I'm holding it back, or that I didn't love him. I did a great deal. It's just not there.

I guess back then is when I figured out that death just happens and it's not something I can see mourning over. I still don't. Death isn't something I think about, nor is it something I am scared of. I don't react in the "normal" sense to it.

So anyway, in summary... I've not either heh. At least not over something like that.

[Queen Asuka]

[color=hotpink][size=1]I cry. And it feels much better afterwards. I actually cried a few days ago. It was a very emotional/frustrating moment and I got very upset. But once you let it all out, you feel better.

It's also nice to have someone to comfort you when you cry. It makes me feel a TON better.

And I like guys who can cry. If they didn't, I'd be a little bit worried.[/color][/size]
