When did you last cry? Why?

Simple question. When was the last time you cried and why?

I can start. I don't know if i'm like cold emotionally or something but I've only cried twice as an adult (I'm now 25.) The first time was when my dad died. The second time was when I was doing basic army service and was reaaally sleep deprived, like 2-3h sleep for a week or so. I was standing on guard in the very cold Swedish winter in the dark and cried some to myself, don't know why I wasn't really sad or anything.

I have tried watching really sad movies and try to make myself cry but it doesn't work, I can get a little bit emotional but never enough to make tears.

Dropped my SO off at the airport when I left for college. We've been doing it for four years, doesn't get any easier.

You mean ready to be done with college? Or are you just being a dick by making a bad joke?

Thanks for the hug, bro! (Can I be a bro if I'm a lady, or do I get something special and strange, such as 'bro-ette'?)

About 45 minutes ago. Still in love with my ex. I can't stop thinking about him.

I'm in the same boat as you. Single for little more over 1 year and I still can't sleep especially well. Just don't let it get to you. You will get used to the feeling, as bad as that sounds. Don't forget though, that you are an amazing person and have a lot of friends, who're allways there for you.

Internet-hugs :)

Thank you. The way it all happened is what makes it worse for me. Feeling like I basically became nothing better than a piece of trash to him and feeling like he forgot everything good we had is hurting me more than anything. Four years is hard to forget. Who am I kidding... I won't forget.

Internet hugs to you, too. (:

I had something similar to this. My ex was on vacation with her family and came back emotionally dead, basicaly. Ah, I don't know. I guess the worst part is not knowing what suddenly happened.

Listen, I don't know you. But if you need someone to talk, send me a PM. I can Imagine how misrable you must feel atm; if I can help you anyhow, go ahead.

The same goes to you! Thank you for thinking of me.

Today, listening to Voodoo Child (Slight Return) by Jimi Hendrix.. I've spend a lot of time in my life enjoying his music, and he was so gifted, and died young... I sobbed. It was a weird out of the blue thing.

My aunt passing away on May 1st of this tear. Before that, can't really remember. Must have been Toy Story 3, knowing my childhood ended. Didn't really cry but my eyes were watery.

Four years ago when my father died. My mother have told me that I was a strange child because I never cried.

The last time I cried was almost two years ago at the funeral of my grandfather.

The other night. I just felt like everyone hated me, and no one even wanted to be in the same room as me. I know it's not true, and I haven't felt like that in years, but sometimes you just can't fight that feeling.

I recently switched birth controls and just had my first period in five months last week. So I cried pretty much the week straight for no particular reason at all. Kittens? Tears. Homework? Tears. Wtf body.

I cried just a couple hours ago for no reason. Hormones suck

About...four hours ago. Was babysitting my niece. She was crying and I had no idea why. Now, I myself did not grow up around babies or have children of my own, so I'm still very green when it comes to the little ones. Between not getting enough sleep and having the poor girl crying, I broke down as well. Luckily, my husband was with me and managed to allow me a couple minutes to myself to calm down.

I am never having children.

Same here. I ALMOST forgot and you had to remind me.

It really sucks doesn't it? To know nothing matters?

1
guavacode•

Yeah. I hate thinking that in 200 years no one will remember me. At least it motivates me to do something amazing with my life.

It kills me to know that i don't do something, someone else will, or we will go in a different direction, that only mildly effects people, for better or for worse. It just makes me think that everyone and everything is just stupid, like why the fuck do i give a shit about anyone or anything.

Today while talking to my mother about the state of my grandmother's breast cancer. Then once more while talking to her and begging her to go through with the surgery. My grandfather (her husband) died in December and I never grieved properly and I'm just not ready to lose her too. Annnnd crying again..

Last time i really cried was on the plane flying from the US to France for a year. I was texting my newest love interest telling her I'd see her later alligator! Thinking about my friends and family, that shit was sad.

When I got a great job offer out of college.

I worked so hard as an undergraduate, and the interview process was so long and stressful...to have something to show for all of my efforts was overwhelming. After I left my internship (where I was when I got the call) tears just started coming down my eyes as I walked to take the bus back to my university. People kind of looked at me funny. I didn't give a fuck.
