It takes a lot to move me to tears, and I can't just let go and let them flow. It does happen occasionally, but it's not something I can conciously trigger.

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.

I'm anticipating a lot of pitiful (and I mean that in the sense that they will be full of pity) and mildly concerned replies, along with maybe a joke or two, or possibly even an attack (though that's doubtful), but I feel like I have to tell someone, somehow.

I'm writing this at 5:40 AM because, for quite a while now, I've been crying pretty solidly every time I set my head down to sleep, and again each morning as I wake up. Sometimes while I'm asleep, I gather. Occasionally, like tonight, it'll be so bad that I am incapable of sleeping altogether as, when I try, I begin weeping and shuddering so hard that I am shaken awake. As soon as I get something in front of my to occupy myself with, say the forums, I'm fine and functional and dandy. But the very minute my head hits the pillow, my mind turns on itself and tears me to pieces, emotionally speaking. It doesn't get much better once I'm asleep, either; dreams come in two varieties: nightmares of the sort whereupon awakening you realize they are in fact reality, and wonderful dreams that are infinitely distant from the waking world and all the more distressing for it.

I've tried thinking my way out of the situation by focusing on some inanity, counting, for instance, but whenever I do some part of my mind rejects the idea as downright foolish and further degrading. It's almost rather like I'm punishing myself for something, or maybe for everything. Quite the disturbing sensation, to say the least.

Do you have any idea why you cry reasonable? I'm not sure how I could help without knowing more.

Chaoticag: I kind of cry when I want to and am not afraid to show emotions. Darren hayes gets a reaction from me every time. But I understand that some people want to be manly
It isn't that I'm trying to be manly or anything. I'm almost psycologically unable to cry, not even when my grandmother died. I'm not even trying to act manly.

The why fluctuates frequently and is by and large irrelevant, but I'm not looking for help, really. Just had to tell someone.

Then I hope things turn out well for you. I don't think it is anything to be ashamed of, although I am worried.

I don't cry for sad stuff, but I do get watery eyes (no tear leaves them, though) for touching stuff.

I'd assume things that are extremely hot, like a saucepan or something.

Oh, that definition of touching.

In Huckleberry Finn, when he gets shot and Jim carries him back for treatment, even though it means he'll get lynched.

I only really cry from laughing and books, I once nearly choked on my own tears from laughing so much. Also books, anything mildly sad in a book gets my eyes at least moist. Films and pretty much anything else can't make me cry.

On books: Ned Stark, then the Red Wedding. If you know what I'm talking about, don't spoil it for the rest.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

I didn't feel emotionally involved enough to feel sad at those, but they were shocking, I give you that.

Books make me cry too. I was in the library and saw a pile of books, and it made me burst into tears...
