The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I want to tickle ita until she cries.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And I've NEVER liked crying in front of people. Very invested in not doing so, for various healthy and unhealthy reasons.

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

Mostly I'm against crying when you're not sad.

Oh, not me. I do happy tears sometimes, even. Crazy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

After watching her get misty about some rather ordinary stimulus, I asked the ex-GF: "Do you cry every day?"

To which she replied, "Just about. It's just a release. Why? How often do you cry?"

"Uh...every couple years? Though I will get choked up in key movie scenes, but only if it's a good movie and I'm very involved."

Yes, I'm ticklish and annoyed by it.

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

Huh? How? Maybe I should add "or happy," but still -- I've never been one much for the happy tears. Triumphant I can make peace with, if you see the distinction. So -- escape movies, but not weddings.

No, for me, crying used to be catharsis of the negative. Now it's too often something with no emotion attached to it. I don't see anything good about that.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I cry at all kinds of silly things. Sad movies, sad TV shows, sad songs, joyous versions of all of the above.

I perhaps need to get a tighter rein on my emotions.

But I'm not feeling.

OK, yeah, I'll give you that. That's unsensical. If I'm crying, I'm feeling something, whether I've been manipulated into it by some schlock I'm watching or by an actual real life happening. Crying without feeling anything does not happen for me.

ETA: And would probably freak me out a little.

Crying in irritation would count too.

No emotion, that's no good. I like it in general when it's some good thing overflowing out my eyeballs. But that's just misting up. I don't know from actual crying. I only do that in emergencies.
