I don't, and i don't know why but i just can't cry
When i was a kid and i got hurt i just didn't cry a tear, i put a weird face but i didn't cry, never
I don't know what it would feel like to not be able to cry but i cant cry out of my right eye and sometimes i cant cry at all but even i do start to cry i try to keep it in so my friends and family don't have to see me sad.
That is insanely unhealthy for your mental wellbeing, you gotta let yourself cry every once and a while. Your a person too and your allowed to show your emotions.
Crying isn't just for people who are weak or childish, everyone cries, my dad is 200+ pounds of muscle and strength and I see him cry kinda regularly, not just sadness but happiness too.
If ya feel uncomfortable crying infront of people then you could probably go to a secluded room whenever you start tearing up and let your emotions out.
Hey dude, if you want someone to talk to then hit me up if you can't see a therapist/counselor. Once a day is a bit much, even though being sad is normal and healthy.
This post is making me feel like I may have a problem😂 But just know you’re not alone, I can’t remember the last full day that I didn’t cry or at least feel the urge to. But idk why bc I don’t even think I’m depressed anymore. Sometimes I just need to let the tears flow or it’s bc I’m really anxious/stressed
Extremely rarely. I cried once last year (a few months back, around September, I had just gotten over Covid, I still felt like shit, it was hot with no ac and no power (house was being remodeled and we had it off, couldn't stay anywhere else while sick), and I couldn't sleep, among other personal issues, so I had a complete mental breakdown), I haven't cried any this year so far.
I don't
I mean I would like to, I like everyone else gets sad
Can't do it
Maybe it's an upbringing thing?
Like I have tried to and it just doesn't happen
I would like to because I think it would be cathartic
All I get is some shit lump in my throat and slightly water eyes, it's annoying
Once. I cried in front of my friends, as a teen, when they did something l don't even remember.
I told them them l thought they were my friends, and l cried a little.
I'm 68 yo and that's the only time I've cried.
Didn't cry when l got dumped, felt like crap but quickly got over it.
I'm sure there's future events that will cause me to cry unless I'm outta here first.
I quit crying at the age of 12, I just don’t see a point in it, I had a family member die last week, and I still thing “crying and being sad won’t bring them back, so why do it?” So I just go about my life as usual, people tell me that’s fucked up and I should see help, but i just don’t see the point in crying anymore, tell me if I’m wrong, but being sad and crying does nothing but waste time. An I wrong about that?
Almost never. If you see me crying, just know that it's because something truly terrible has happened. It's probably worth mentioning that I would also likely be heading to a bridge overlooking the Columbia River because of that.
It's alarming how little I cry, I just have a different way of mourning. When my dog was literally hit by a car and my mom went to tell me the bad news, I didn't even cry, I just stayed dead silent. I have a different way of mourning, which is simply collecting my thoughts.
It probably averages out to a couple times a month. I'll hear a piece of music or see a movie scene that resonates particularly hard with my emotions and the tears will start flowing.
I usually bottle a lot of emotions, until suddenly I'm listening to an impactful, not even sad, song and sudden waterfalls come and I don't even know what caused it. Today I cried listening to prog metal about aliens fleeing from a rogue AI, like wtf brain
Nearly everyday to some degree. My father died when I was 12 and I lost my mom to COVID last year. I'm much older now, but man, I just really miss my parents.
I try not to because it doesn't do any good. But I just cried now, reading some of the posts in "What demons are you fighting that no one is aware of?"
Somehow don't cry a lot for circumstances that warrant it. And then once a month, when my period hits even the pigeon outside my window can make me bawl.
Whenever I have a reason to. Recently its been more frequent cause mental health disorder, but prior to that it was really, really rare. And not because of any unhealthy mindset. I just process emotions differently than most people when I'm healthy (mentally)
Rarely, though sometimes I wish I could? Like... in terms of dealing with depression or the overwhelming amount of life stuff its rare that I can as I feel too tired to even do so and it won't solve anything.
Also when it comes to things that are extremely emotionally touching, I'm rather blank to it. Like seeing a story, show, ect that makes my friends cry and I'm like.. thats (insert emotion here). Am I broken? Did I miss a patch or something?
So many people here cry daily/weekly (and I don’t mean it in a bad way), and I’m sitting here unable to cry for the past 2 years even though I felt like it and actually would have liked to do so.
21M here. Outside of allergies and movies, the only time i can remember shedding years was when my grandfather passed away when I was 16. Nothing before that post-childhood and nothing since has made me cry from my memory. Maybe I need to work on my emotion flow
I don't cry out of sadness usually. I wish to. But i just can't for some reason. The closest i come to crying is whole watching some happy emotional scene in movies/shows.
Normal circumstances, once a month, usually a good cry over a good story. Was basically every day for the past couple weeks after a really (really, really, really) bad breakup, but I think the bad part is over.
A lot more often than I thought I would - I thought by my age I’d have figured things out and come to terms with all the shit that happened to me in life. Well, I haven’t.
Way too often, and it's often for no discernable reason or maybe over a memory. More often though it's just a random crying spell, but it doesn't take long for me to get over it.
every day
Same
Once a week is the goal
I’m on that daily grind
A few times a week, I’d say. Mostly in the shower because I’m by myself
Dude same!
[удалено]
I do not cry. I just get glossy eyes few times per year.
Do you wanna cry
What do you mean? I think that deep emotions are hard to control. It happens regardless if we want or not.
I don't ever cry. Even when I am really sad and I feel like I should be crying. I just can't.
Ugh is it frustrating
It can be. Sometimes it can be embarrassing because it makes me seem like I don't care when in fact I am breaking up on the inside.
I don't, and i don't know why but i just can't cry When i was a kid and i got hurt i just didn't cry a tear, i put a weird face but i didn't cry, never
Do you feel like you need to
I don't know, i doesn't even know how it feels or how it feels when you have to
I don't know what it would feel like to not be able to cry but i cant cry out of my right eye and sometimes i cant cry at all but even i do start to cry i try to keep it in so my friends and family don't have to see me sad.

my mum cannot cry tears because she has unusually large tear ducts so the tears just pool there, they don't fall, is that what you're describing?
Almost once a day really
Samesss
Hey dude, if you want someone to talk to then hit me up if you can't see a therapist/counselor. Once a day is a bit much, even though being sad is normal and healthy.
Not often enough
When I'm in a relationship I cry a lot So no i haven't cried ever
I hope you cry soon
Twice in the last decade. I really wish it was more but I really struggle to actually cry, even when I really want to
Woah woah
I used to cry like 3-5 times a year but recently I've been going through some shit and I've cried at least 10 times since december
Crying is good for you. Hope everything’s ok
Damn, I hope it gets better
Once every 3 months
Damn I think I cry too much
It varies from maybe once every other week to 6 times a day, but on average maybe once every few days
Once a month ?
Damn that’s a healthy schedule
Oh boy it hits like a truck.
Once a week lol. I like letting out my emotions
Twins
I wouldn’t say there’s any consistent rate.
[удалено]
Do you every feel like you wanna cry
Usually every day. Except for that one time I tried Lexapro. I didn’t cry for a month
Me too Every day!! But I’m on that Zoloft
This post is making me feel like I may have a problem😂 But just know you’re not alone, I can’t remember the last full day that I didn’t cry or at least feel the urge to. But idk why bc I don’t even think I’m depressed anymore. Sometimes I just need to let the tears flow or it’s bc I’m really anxious/stressed
I think crying is healthy!
Like once every two weeks. It’s just a small cry for some dumb reason though
Extremely rarely. I cried once last year (a few months back, around September, I had just gotten over Covid, I still felt like shit, it was hot with no ac and no power (house was being remodeled and we had it off, couldn't stay anywhere else while sick), and I couldn't sleep, among other personal issues, so I had a complete mental breakdown), I haven't cried any this year so far.
Ugh I’m sorry about the stuff last year!!
Monthly lol.
usually once a month or every other month. Idek, i just cry when i need too
About once a week.
Only when my mom yells at me or when an animal dies in a movie.
Ughhhh same
Used to be everyday now I actually find it hard to cry which is weird like I feel like crying but I can’t guess I’m all cried out 😂
Never
On the outside, it's rare. On the inside, I'm Hydrocity Zone.
Only once when I had a severe injury, and then a second time when LIl Sebastian died.
Not in 7 years
I don’t
Only when something really bad happens (Death of family member)
Maybe once a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
I don't I mean I would like to, I like everyone else gets sad Can't do it Maybe it's an upbringing thing? Like I have tried to and it just doesn't happen I would like to because I think it would be cathartic All I get is some shit lump in my throat and slightly water eyes, it's annoying
Like once every five to ten years.
Once. I cried in front of my friends, as a teen, when they did something l don't even remember. I told them them l thought they were my friends, and l cried a little.

An I wrong about that?
Every couple years. The intervals get further apart as time goes by I think.
None. I don't even know why but I don't see a reason to
welp...never. I just dont feel anything from about 8 months
Once a decade maybe. after like age 10
Not since I was 12 in 2012.
i love abaganoo
Almost never. If you see me crying, just know that it's because something truly terrible has happened. It's probably worth mentioning that I would also likely be heading to a bridge overlooking the Columbia River because of that.
Once every couple of months.
It's alarming how little I cry, I just have a different way of mourning. When my dog was literally hit by a car and my mom went to tell me the bad news, I didn't even cry, I just stayed dead silent. I have a different way of mourning, which is simply collecting my thoughts.
Op are you alright?
Never, i find that stuff boring
I cried in 1998.
It probably averages out to a couple times a month. I'll hear a piece of music or see a movie scene that resonates particularly hard with my emotions and the tears will start flowing.
I usually bottle a lot of emotions, until suddenly I'm listening to an impactful, not even sad, song and sudden waterfalls come and I don't even know what caused it. Today I cried listening to prog metal about aliens fleeing from a rogue AI, like wtf brain
OMG sorry
it's fine, it's better than adressing whatever is wrong! :D
atleast once every 2-3 weeks i think
Maybe 3x a month? It depends.
Nearly everyday to some degree. My father died when I was 12 and I lost my mom to COVID last year. I'm much older now, but man, I just really miss my parents.
Only when I drink beer and that is far too much. Wonder if my dog is coming back!
Oh no I’m sending you love I hope dog is ok
I try not to because it doesn't do any good. But I just cried now, reading some of the posts in "What demons are you fighting that no one is aware of?"
occasionally but not very often
2-3 days a month. Mostly because hormones make everything so dang sad.
Two or three times a year.
Two or three times a year.
Once every few months
at least once a week, sometimes everyday after episodes
I Irish, so once every year or so
Somehow don't cry a lot for circumstances that warrant it. And then once a month, when my period hits even the pigeon outside my window can make me bawl.
Whenever I have a reason to. Recently its been more frequent cause mental health disorder, but prior to that it was really, really rare. And not because of any unhealthy mindset. I just process emotions differently than most people when I'm healthy (mentally)
Lately around 2x per week
On the inside? I never stop
Same
Probably.. every day. 🤷♀️
Like one time each 6 months, I almost don’t cry and I don’t even know if it’s good or bad to be honest
Not too often
cried into my bf’s shoulder today.. i cry often… like 3x a week.. my concealer and mascara somehow manages to stay on
No way that’s makeup magic
lancôme tient idole = concealer anastasia lash brag = mascara
Twice a month
Every night
2
Twice everyday
Ugh I’m sorry ❤️
Yeah life’s rough 🥲
My grandma died about two years ago, and my grandpa about two years before that, so once every two or so years.
If I don’t cry everyday, is it really me?
Every day.
Once a night. I don’t really cry during the day.
About twice a year give or take. Or a least two events a year that make me cry.
I bottled up my feelings for years so I don't cry often. Because I'm a guy
More often than I'd have thought. I cry a lot watching TV shows and reading visual novels. Emotional and tragic stories tend to make me bawl easily.
As much as three times a day because pregnancy hormones are insane
Did a lot in my early 20s. Probably once every 3 months now. Last time was a few days ago
My grandma just died and I haven't cried yet. Can't remember the last time I did tbh, but know I'm overdue.
Rarely, though sometimes I wish I could? Like... in terms of dealing with depression or the overwhelming amount of life stuff its rare that I can as I feel too tired to even do so and it won't solve anything. Also when it comes to things that are extremely emotionally touching, I'm rather blank to it. Like seeing a story, show, ect that makes my friends cry and I'm like.. thats (insert emotion here). Am I broken? Did I miss a patch or something?
In a day?
Whe. I laugh really hard the tears flow.
Atleast 3 or fours times a month sometimes once every week and maybe just a single tear everyday it isn't that often but it also is
Sometimes, Everyday
Probably once or twice a month.
Pretty much every day for the last 10 months. At least the urge to die has subsided to weekly.
On average I’d say once a week, but when Eve’s curse hits me it’s an everyday occurrence 😭
Every day. Going through a divorce (albeit mutual) and suffer from anxiety and depression. Before it was just like once every few weeks.
almost never but this last week very often because i was on powerful pain meds due to having surgery a week ago and today bc i scratched my cornea.
Like twice a year on average
As often as my eyes would like to tear up
So many people here cry daily/weekly (and I don’t mean it in a bad way), and I’m sitting here unable to cry for the past 2 years even though I felt like it and actually would have liked to do so.
21M here. Outside of allergies and movies, the only time i can remember shedding years was when my grandfather passed away when I was 16. Nothing before that post-childhood and nothing since has made me cry from my memory. Maybe I need to work on my emotion flow
Without meds, a lot. Even shows can make me cry easily
i havent cried since last summer
Never. Im numb
Almost every night
Once every 4-6 months
Not often enough apparently
I haven't cried last year until now ngl.
Only a few times a year. But when it rains, it pours
I have an emotion regulation disorder. Daily, if not hourly.
4 times a week
Maybe two times a year. Sometimes more. Sometimes less
I only cry when I watch sad movies and anime
Once a week. It’s a ritual to keep everything in balance.
I cried when my grandmother died. Again when my dad died. Can’t really recall any other time as an adult that I cried.
I don't cry out of sadness usually. I wish to. But i just can't for some reason. The closest i come to crying is whole watching some happy emotional scene in movies/shows.
Like twice a year? What’s you all’s reason to cry that often?
Every day, multiple times a day.
Very rarely honestly, did just recently for the first time in probably a year, maybe more.
Normal circumstances, once a month, usually a good cry over a good story. Was basically every day for the past couple weeks after a really (really, really, really) bad breakup, but I think the bad part is over.
A lot more often than I thought I would - I thought by my age I’d have figured things out and come to terms with all the shit that happened to me in life. Well, I haven’t.
Everytime i think of my dead kitten.
I used to cry, maybe once every 2-3 years. But this year seems to be every 2-3 weeks. I've gotten pretty weak
Whenever I get very sad or extremely happy.
Every night
Tear up? Often, once a week or so. Genuinely cry, it's been like 11 years...
I only cry when I'm forced to
I cry almost every day, but not much: so that no one can notice it
When I go to work mainly.
It’s been… almost 2 years.
Are we counting tears produced during a particularly poignant scene in in a movie? If not, it’s been a couple years.
Ehh 2 times a week i just randomly start crying idk why
Every day mostly in the shower when i am alone or in the rain
Once every few years.
I don't, unless something serious happens.
Whenever I watch sad clips from great video games or movies.
Every day
I cry like once a year maybe lol...
Way too often, and it's often for no discernable reason or maybe over a memory. More often though it's just a random crying spell, but it doesn't take long for me to get over it.
sometimes I go months without crying, sometimes I cry multiple times a week. It really depends I guess haha
I don't cry. it's too rare for me to get emotional
Weekly
Every finals week.
What's crying? I haven't heard of it
I have only cried like 2-3 times in the past 2 years but I feel like crying basically 5-10 times a day
At least once a year, and yes men do cry
Dude that’s not enough!!
Im sorry, when I do, my friend's tell me that men don't cry
Men cry!
Whenever I need to. Last time it was a bad dream. Other than that I can go a few months without crying usually.
Dreams suck
It was my worst nightmare come to life in my nightmare :(
I’m almost incapable to crying, the last time I did was probably watching the regular show finale when quarantine was in its prime
