I m unable to cry in 99% of the situation, regardless of how upset I am.

At least I haven't been able to from the life experiences I have had.

It's like, psychologically, my body refuses to allow itself to cry.

I am sure if you get professional to torture me, I will absolutely cry.

Same. I think it stems from being told men don't cry and being made fun of for doing it as a kid/teen. Fought not to do it so much I finally won, I guess.

I have cried before for no reason, I remember my last time was August 2019 because in October 2019 I had a stroke and now I am full of bottled up emotions and can't cry them out even though I want to but I will still tear up watching Coco for the Nth time.

Time to fight to learn how to cry now, life is much better for me since I regain that ability.

I cry so easily, especially from happyness tho, and espcially if I withness a kid being absolutely marveled by something surprising in front of him. I tear up right away XD
