Thread: Things that make you cry

I was watching the first Pokemon movie the other day. It was the first time I'd watched any movie or anime in like 7 years I think. Anyway towards the end when Ash got turned to stone with all the music beforehand and Pikachu shocking him... fuck. But I was NOT going to let the first time I'd ever cried in a movie be Pokemon, so I sucked it up.

Um, I dunno. I guess if someone is really mean to me. I don't cry often at all anymore, but thats what would do it.

I cry at little things, but not big things.

I cry if my parents say something.

I cry if I listen to music, and try and think behind the words.

I cry about If there is going to be an after life.

I cry after reading really sad fanfics :(

I cry at just about anything silly. But nothing serious like deaths

I wouldn't consider crying to be weak, per se.

After all, there are different types of crying (from a psychological standpoint).

I'll try to make a short summary.

As people grow older, they have a greater sense of pride - in other words, they will themselves to cry less. An adult would probably not cry over spilled milk, but probably would if

1) He got mugged or she got raped (pain, humiliation, fear, etc)
2) A moving story, a deep thought-provoking or otherwise extremely well made piece of art or music, or as some users have said, cute animals. In other words, a deep respect, admiration, and appreciation.
3) Compassion - as some users have said, seeing suffering. Heck, those charities like to manipulate people by using this aspect of human emotion (you know, pictures of skin-and-bones children in Africa).

For some people, this makes them feel worse (this could be worsened by disorders); for others, better (results improve if comforted by other humans).

Either way, crying is natural. I don't consider it weak, but I personally wouldn't want to cry in public. Unless, of course, the situation called for it (e.g. someone close to me dies).

Okay, looking back, some of my explanations don't seem to make much sense...

I cry:
-When I get upset
-When I overreact
-When I'm on the losing end of an argument
-When people (especially my caretaker) say that I'm too old for Pokemon.

After a really touching scene in a movie *sniff* :3

Getting yelled at makes me cry. o_o Idk why...
Annnnddd...when my family and friends cry, when something tragic happened before my eyes, and when people get very agressive.

Wow, I'm sensitive. xD

I cry when I watch "The Green Mile"

This (except for the last one)

I don't cry very often, unless it's caused by peeling onions or a sudden harsh wind. I think the last time I got teary was at my grandmother's funeral. That's now roughly 3 years ago.

There's enough things that make me sad, but it doesn't reduce me to tears. Perhaps I'm just heartless :/

"Delrihuzz, use Fake Tears! The move failed."

seeing my friends and family cry especially if they are girls, don't really know why tho. oh and sometimes pokeshipping fanfictions can be real tearjerkers

I almost never cry. Only if a family member or one of my pets die. Oh, and I had trouble not to start crying when I was playing CoD:MW2 at the point where Ghost and Roach were shot. Yeah, call me a wuss, but it's hard not to start crying with the music, the slow-motion, the blood, and Cpt. Price's speech just before you are burned.

I cry when someone dies :(

I simply cry when something makes me upset. I feel no shame, as crying is a natural thing to do.

I'm considered the rock in my group of friends - I'm not the sort to get overly emotional around people, whether it's positive or negative. I think it's because I've always been amongst the oldest of my friends that I tend to act this way - I'm usually more concerned about whoever I'm with, rather than myself. I lead more than I follow, and because of that I try to keep calm and level-headed at all times.

When I'm alone music makes me cry. Not sad songs, but romantic ones. Some films too.

When I was a kid, this scene from the Brave Little Toaster used to make me tear up. =(
