Yeah, well, I cry over any happy animal story. That's ok. It's a button.
Titanic. Not so much.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

My friend Jane was in that!
What part?
And, yeah, so, it just made me tear up, and I haven't even been watching it. I'm going to put this one down to suggestibility.
Not all of the sap crying is sad for me though. Sometimes it's, you know, "honor" or "triumph" or stuff like that. You know, stuff that moves you, but isn't sad. So, women exercising, with extrapolation, not completely unsensical. Hell, sports stuff gets me every damn time, and I'm not an athlete or that much of a sports fan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
what are they gonna think, that I'm a human being with emotions?
Depends which ads -- they might think you have fucked emotions.
Mostly I'm against crying when you're not sad.
I am dry-eyed IRL sometimes when other folk are crying and that makes me feel like a horrible monster.
Why? Why is crying so automatically meaningful, like it's the only validation of feeling? Admittedly, I'm mad because it's lost some value for me -- it's like the laughter of being tickled versus the laughter of the heart.
Just laughing doesn't make you human. Why and when have everything to do with it.

But I'm not feeling. I'm just crying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, now I'm crying at Queer Eye, so there you go.

Suddenly I want to tickle ita until she cries.
Time to go home.

Robin, as with many people, I hold myself to a much crueler standard than I hold anyone else. It's an internal thing.
And I've NEVER liked crying in front of people. Very invested in not doing so, for various healthy and unhealthy reasons.

Why on earth? That's the good part of crying.

Not ticklish. I do tend to get irritated and hit people though.

Oh, god, me too. I was probably 28 before anyone other than my parents and one college roommate had ever seen me actually cry.
