Zoe ,'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I tried very hard to not cry at a wedding. The 11 year old best man helped by crossing his eyes.
I used to have certain books I'd read specifically to provoke an emotional meltdown. Mister Whiskers and Dearest Prickles (cat and hedgehogs,) if you are wondering. Basically, for when I couldn't cry over things I needed to, it broke the dam.
I'm cold. And my face hurts. I may go to bed early and watch tonight's tv shows over the weekend. Maybe by then my drafting table will be back where it belongs and not in front of the tv.
I found myself getting choked up by Guys and Dolls the other day. I have no idea why.
The last time I had a serious weepfest was the day after the election, which is I think where all my pent-up angst went.
Night night. Me to bed.
Crying in irritation would count too.
Who's crying? The tickler or the ticklee?
it's a really strong non-verbal way to share feelings
Oh, I certainly never considered crying a method of communication, and would get a bit offended by anyone who spent any time judging the depth of the emotions I'm feeling by the amount of liquid coming from my eyes -- might as well judge it by the size of the wreath I placed on the grave.
TDS? Still brilliant, IJS.
I almost never cry at any of the standard real-life Crying Events (I have NEVER cried at a goodbye that wasn't a funeral), but that PSA with the sad stuffed animals makes me weep instantly.
I almost never cry. Bugs the hell out of me; it always feels better to cry in release.
No, I don't feel like a monster because of what I think other peeps are thinking, more that I feel limited--that I one basic mode of expression is partially closed off to me.
I don't cry at funerals or personal tragedies, which is, I suppose, one reason why my family thinks of me as being unemotional. I have completely melted down from a number of Buffy episodes, Little Women, It's a Wonderful Life, almost any act of heroism, and, on occasion, lost dog signs.
