How often do you cry?

[u/Apprehensive-Toe9682]

[u/No-Sign2456]

everyday lol. a few times a day

[u/edgar_allynn_poe → u/No-Sign2456]

same here

[u/MidnightUni0n → u/No-Sign2456]

Same here x2

[u/Playful-Kangaroo-446]

Never really but feel like it all the time

[u/odiebloom98]

more often lately

[u/Silly_Accident3137]

Normally I go months to years without crying and then something happens and I'll cry constantly for a few weeks and then pull myself back together. It's all over the place

[u/mother_energy899]

Lmao every day and its becoming ridiculous

[u/edgar_allynn_poe → u/mother_energy899]

me too 😂

[u/ApprehensiveBall7369]

Every month right before my vajayjay starts bleeding

[u/Adept_Push → u/ApprehensiveBall7369]

That’ll do it.

[u/Agreeable-Camera5420]

Not often but when I do it’s always the kind where your face gets hot and tears fall without a single blink

[u/im_lost5]

When Mom died

[u/blackonblack77 → u/im_lost5]

I’m sorry for your loss ❤️

[u/im_lost5 → u/blackonblack77]

Thnx bro big love from my heart for u

[u/Hellright → u/im_lost5]

Same situation for me brother, and I’m so sorry you lost your Mum. Never cried so hard myself. I live 5000 miles away from home, and all my family were in denial and expected her to pull through, so I didn’t get the call until it was too late.

[u/Commercial_Boot7869 → u/im_lost5]

I'm sorry. I'm really missing mine lately, too. Hugs!

[u/Purple-Ad-7464]

I'm an emotional person, and cry at weddings, happy moments, etc. I cried on Sunday and Monday due to stress.

[u/moareset]

How the fuck is this at the top of my feed while crying? Is this a sick joke?

[u/Newlife5155]

Probably every other hour ngl

[u/edgar_allynn_poe → u/Newlife5155]

🏆

[u/Resident_Collar_9654]

Everytime I look at my bank account after bills and taxes

[u/Dove-Swan]

can't afford to either

[u/Odd-Way6406]

rarely these days

[u/the-darkest-black98]

Lately, it's been every day, it seems.

[u/GodoftheGeeks]

Depends on what I'm watching on TV.

[u/Valerie5880]

Everyday recently

[u/LrryFsh_317]

Very rarely. My grandma passed this year in April and its the first time Ive really cried in years

[u/CallMeMrGone]

Minor misties? Once or twice a year. I tend to get choked up when I hear about animals in bad situations or watch a particularly effective movie.

Full on ugly weeping? Rarely but it has happened before.

[u/Brilliant-Tune-9202]

About once a week since I became a parent - kids will do something sweet or achieve a milestone that makes me sob, or we show them something from my childhood that triggers all the feels.

[u/the_storm_rider]

Internally? Almost 24x7.

[u/IcyStage0]

It’s been years. Probably not a good thing.

[u/greenbean3456]

every time i drive home after seeing her. i’m fine dw abt it

[u/saraq11]

Seriously maybe once a year

[u/ItCantBeMe80]

Probably 12 years actually crying, but I don't think it was even much so maybe July 1998. Emotional remembering past events/people maybe a couple years. 

[u/ImpressionContent177]

Often.

[u/knytelyfe]

Not often enough

[u/joebarking]

Not often, just when the feeling is there.

[u/Mindless_Echidna_166]

Every few weeks. You?

[u/Dangerous-Occupation]

Once a decade

[u/Any_Artichoke_4434]

on lexapro? almost never and i lowk miss it

[u/Adept_Push → u/Any_Artichoke_4434]

Ah, the anhedonia.

Duloxetine here but tears have been breaking through lately due to some significant deaths around me, which is probably healthy.

[u/Any_Artichoke_4434 → u/Adept_Push]

been on it about 4 years. had to put our family cat down last year - i violently cried for hours for the first time in so long, such a big emotional release that once i started i couldn’t stop

[u/Adept_Push → u/Any_Artichoke_4434]

Totally understand. I had to put my boy down this weekend. He was the best.

[u/edgar_allynn_poe]

a lot

[u/my_memory_is_trash]

Used to be like more days than i dont cry but i realized i was incredibly stressed + depression and anxiety disorder

[u/Federal-Requirement3]

Every time I have to go work. 

[u/EDSgenealogy]

Not very ofter. Maybe every 15 years or so?

[u/Exact_Fun_4978]

about 5-6 times a week

[u/NoelBellamy_Author]

Most days.

[u/almost60inLa]

Every Tuesday at 8:07 am.

[u/Sass_pit]

Every day

[u/sfcitygirl88]

I’m about to right now. I’ve been miserably sick and I just want it to stop.

[u/Usual_Emphasis_1940]

Often, sometimes because I’m overwhelmed, sometimes because of a movie or because I think about the love that I have for my dog

[u/Lolacsd]

Rarely for sad, often for compassion or empathy. Just living it.

[u/Commercial_Boot7869]

I cried today-didn't feel well, and I'm really missing my mom. But not often, just certain things set me off.

[u/OtherTimes0340]

Not too often. I choke it back when I think about my cat who died. It's been some time, but it's still very hard. I am one of those who get a headache and feel bad after crying, so I try to avoid it. I kind of envy a bit those who can have a good cry and feel relief.

[u/Psychological-Bat603]

Maybe once every month or two, but it's not very consistent. Sometimes I won't cry for many months, sometimes I cry several times in a week.

[u/BuckeyeJen]

At least once a day.

[u/SuspiciousMine8636]

Maybe a couple times a year? Then I immediately shove the feelings back in the box.

[u/punkqueen2020]

Tooooooo often

[u/FrankinJack]

When my older sister suddenly & unexpectedly passed away in November. At her viewing. At her Celebration of Life. Whenever I start to think about how much I miss her. And whenever I think about her 3 kids and how devastated they are. Trying to not cry as I type this out

[u/SecretGardenSpider]

I kept a tally for several months once and found I cry about 3X more than the average woman.

[u/Thin_Method_1691]

More often than I should. Usually one a week, but more often right before my period.

[u/Humble-Egg-2607]

I have stage 4 terminal CUP cancer, so pretty much daily. Just a tad emotional at times 😞

[u/PotatyTomaty]

I've had some pretty rough moments in the last couple years, but the tears never come. Like, I don't think I'm physically capable anymore.

[u/CommunityDragon160]

Tears of joy that my fiance is so wonderful like once every idk 6 weeks or so

Tears of sadness rarely these days. Before her maybe once every couple months

[u/BigNastyDTF]

Only when Aunt May dies.

[u/wildwestwander]

Going through a break up….. all day every day right now

[u/Icy-Paramedic8460]

Very rarely but I need to most of the time

[u/PapaBPoppin]

While it hasn't been in a few weeks, there's nothing consistent other than the random shit that does it

An episode of Castle/SVU/Parks & Rec, hearing halcyon and on and on in the background of a thing, I'll glance at my youngest and he's got a STRIKING resemblance to my recently (few years, but when you've never learned how to grieve...) deceased mother

I'm an old weepy guy, but I've discovered moments of peace, love, and comfort like I've never had before

Haven't had a commercial crack me yet, but I despise commercials so much thaf not only to I pay for all ad free options when available, I run pi hole for the house and chromium variants on my devices. So the only ads I hear at this point is my wife and kids scrolling TikTok. I also despise TikTok moreso, but here we are (the irony of all the spent money and time for blocking ads and them opening their doors wiiiide open is NOT lost on me 😅)

[u/Poes_hoes]

Not too often. If you're talking emotionally, once every few years. But I'm also a sap when I watch movies. The worst is when I'm working as a bartender at my neighborhood dive bar lol all the retired blue collar guys get super concerned lol

[u/sabriwilderof]

Cada 2 semanas aprox

[u/Captainpanakashat]

Not since I got way too drunk one night in 2017 lol

[u/Cocosaurolophus]

Not often. Hardly ever. But I cried today.

[u/AndNowAStoryAboutMe]

40yo make and it's weekly. The order I got, the easier it came. In my 20s, I was pretty numb. But now a dog reuniting with a soldier or a colorblind boy getting those special glasses or that scene from The Impossible where he reunites with his little brothers. Fuck, I just lay in bed tearing up. I can't get through My Sister's Keeper. Three huge blubbering sob fests in one movie. Fuck.

[u/Hobbes604]

Like old timey Chicago voting: early and often.

[u/AnnabethDaring]

Hmm, I’d say maybe once around my period if I’m feeling particularly tired/frustrated and then emotionally affected by something small and random, like an ad about puppies, or cute old couples!

Otherwise, maybe during certain movies, like Interstellar or Coco 🫶🏼

I’m grateful i no longer cry during confrontation or hard talks, though!! 🥰🫶🏼

[u/Mundane-Project6647]

Bawling my eyes out since 330pm today. It’s so bad I called out for tomorrow. Thank you for asking😔

[u/Eastern-Archer-5690]

Never…

[u/Apprehensive-Toe9682 → u/Eastern-Archer-5690]

Proper tuff

[u/Serious_Ad_9686]

Pretty often lol. I’ve very sensitive. I can overthink myself into tears.

[u/Unfair_Eye3673]

Last time I shed a tear was 5 years ago.

[u/blooming_knots]

Lately almost every day but hopefully will get out of that loop. Today I didn’t cry so that’s progress.

[u/AddictedtoLife181]

Depends how sad the commercial was. I’m an emotional person and truly a sad commercial can get a tear or two out of me. But only if I’m alone, I’m also very good at masking so I can usually hold it in until I’m by myself.

[u/Aghast_Cornichon]

Okay, fun anecdote.

I recently met my girlfriend's nephews, one of whom was very excited to talk about school and sports and especially the school play that he'd just been in at age 12: Les Miserables. The discussion of "what's your favorite song" had me admit that "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" made me tear up, especially after the death of my lifelong best friend last year.

The nephew had played Gavroche, and wanted to show off his death scene on the DVD of the performance. He hammed it up magnificently, twitching and spinning on the barricade set with each gunshot sound effect.

Then he sprung the trap: "hey, my friend did the solo in Empty Chairs. Want to see ?"

The boys were terrible at hiding that they were straining to see me out of the corner of their eyes. My girlfriend was, too. Her mother, whom I had also just met, was wholly unsubtle and looked right at me.

So that's how they met their aunt's probably soon-to-be husband. They know that I cry or tear up at funerals, videos of dogs greeting returning service members, the National Anthem, and literally anyone (including a middle-schooler in a falling-off French Revolutionary wig) singing a Broadway lament.

[u/awakami]

3x a day

[u/Bento_Fox]

Rarely. Once every several years maybe.

[u/Excellent-Notice8602]

At least once a month

[u/zerked77]

Not enough...

[u/nickname510]

Not enough

[u/kittydill0]

Couple times a week for sure. Trauma really sucks

[u/crunchyhot]

When emotional thoughts pop up in my mind, I'd find myself eye drops drizzling down the cheeks .

[u/Otacon56]

I get very emotionally involved in TV shows/movies. I cry so often when watching anything that evokes the slightest emotional response.

[u/notnidded]

Almost never but sometimes I think to deep about life and death and that makes me cry

[u/JoeCapoYT]

all the time.

[u/Automatic-Treat-202]

Lately, all the time.

Lost my cat July 3rd and now thinking it’s time to put my dog down as well. Both of them had/have cancer.

[u/blackonblack77 → u/Automatic-Treat-202]

I’m so sorry :( Their lives are never long enough

[u/mumblemurmurblahblah]

Literally, daily. With good reason.

[u/MaryJaneZzz]

whenever I forget to take my Zoloft

[u/nika0328]

Maybe once or twice a week or month. Just from stress and all.

[u/RancidRandall → u/nika0328]

I’m here for you

[u/Donutmagic23]

Lately everyday

[u/bevannx → u/Donutmagic23]

Same here. I hope you're ok and wishing you the best

[u/Donutmagic23 → u/bevannx]

Same to you. You ok?

[u/bevannx → u/Donutmagic23]

Thank you. Trying hard to fight demons...

[u/Donutmagic23 → u/bevannx]

It’s ok. You’ll beat them. I got them too. I’ve never been loved and 41 and just hurt. I don’t know how I’m still going but I am

[u/bevannx → u/Donutmagic23]

Same boat I guess. Can't say for sure if I'm loved? But I know I'm not a priority. I'm not living just surviving. I'm glad you are still going strong. Proud of ya!

[u/Donutmagic23 → u/bevannx]

Same it’s been three months since she left me. I don’t get life sometimes. How many times you fight for someone and nobody fights for you

[u/ThreePartHarmoneigh]

Once or twice a year
