How Do I Cry?

Venom · 03-24-2010, 04:28 PM

I recently saw a thread about how often you cry... Well I cry, but it's every once in a blue moon, every other or couple of years. I wish I could more I don't know why I can't. When the world comes crashing on your head, it feels good to cry, and I wish I could. I don't know if it's the hardened emotional barrier I keep up in my head, inside where the demons play and I can only suppress and feed them by using meds/drugs to calm them down. How can I really just let loose... And get this shit out of my system!

Personally,when I cry I feel ashamed of myself for being weak (irrational,I know) which makes me cry even more. (I know,I know)

Ok,I suppose if you want to "make" yourself cry (aside from joking suggestions like onions) you need isolation,I only ever cry alone,if you think about something that has made you cry in the past it helps,these kind of triggering thoughts set me off in a tearful wreck,wish I had better advice,Venom,but I've got nothing.

i wouldnt go for isolation and i wouldnt make myself cry im like you i've hardend myself to the point where i only cry seldomly if i have to and usually if im drunk . i would never physically make myself cry though , theres other ways to let it out don't force yourself to be sad , try and work it out by other means , exercise , talking to people , relaxing something that uses your energy to try and gain an emotional release

(((((Venom)))))

In my case..I just.. stop thinking...and just let the feelings take over me. I usually have to mentally prepare my self to let loose..in order to be able to build up the emotional wall back up. I'm terrified of crying,because I'm way too rational..so I just stop fighting for a moment and wip away..

everynow and then a tear comes out, but it's not anywhere near as proper as it used to be,.

hey venom i'm kinda the opposite used to cry all the time , went through a month spell where i would cry everyday , even at work , but when i first started meds it just stopped , that was about 6 weeks ago , its weird because i kinda miss it , i would feel alot better after wards

Come on over, I'll punch you in your face until you cry!

Or you could try chopping onions to get your stared!

I don't cry.
Okay, most of the time I don't cry.
My father was quite the stoic, and I guess I learned it from him.

Well yea I only saw my Dad cry once... When he died when I was 13 I didn't even cry until the funeral. Either that or the fact I'm so out there.
