Silly things that make you emotional for no reason

[mrsbeeton999]

About 6 months ago driving along with car full of my daughter and her friends and Shotgun by George Ezra came on radio. Kids were all singing along at top of their voices and I did think at the time it was a lovely moment- but just heard it again today and remembered kids singing along and it made me get really emotional and properly cry. Really odd 😂

Saw something this morning that made my lip wobble...

Waiting at a junction & two teen lads were waiting to cross. One 17ish, the other clearly younger (maybe 13?)

They both had a slightly stroppy teenage lad air about them & stood there bantering with one another. Then the younger stepped out without looking & the older instinctively put his arm out to gently protect his little brother.

Honestly made me well up a bit...

That programme on TV about paramedics, the lovely way they are with people in distress, the way they go above and beyond......and the thought that no matter what your circumstances there’s someone who cares and will look after you.

People asking me if I’m ok. I’m always ok until they ask, then I’m a blubbering wreck. If they didn’t ask that I would just get on with my day. Suppose it’s a kindness thing, a reaction to someone showing that they care. Embarrassing when it’s someone I don’t know that well though.

I cannot explain this at all but am very interested to know if anyone else is the same!...When Cbeebies ends of an evening! 😭😭😭 That sounded like a joke about needing it for my sanity but sometimes, my little one is already in bed and I am sobbing!

Watching Olympians get their medals always starts me off.

I came on to say brass bands!

Male voice choirs, something about the harmonies.

DS all the time. I’m so proud of him.

notbeingfunnybut, am right with you, Cool Runnings gets me every time

Singing the Goodbye song that’s at the end of The Bear in the big blue house to DS.
When the baby is finally born in One born every minute. Watched loads of episodes while on maternity leave holding DS sleeping in my arms. Couldn’t even wipe my nose.

I cried tonight watching an episode of CBeebies bedtime stories - Gregory Porter sang Moon River.

The London marathon always makes me cry.

Yes to giraffes can't dance and the goodbye song at end of bear in the big blue house but also the lyric
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down… in Defying Gravity.......gets me every time

The start of a musical or concert. I've no idea why but the music starting up always makes me well up. I've googled why before because I find it so weird!

I cry in big song and dance numbers! Not the sad songs, but the ones with everyone dancing in lock step and the music building. It’s not just moist eyeballs either, it’s full on tears running down my cheeks. Happy tears, just a really big emotion.

I always cry at the Tee and Mo bedtime song on CBeebies, pretty much as soon as it starts and then when it goes "listen to your mummy" I weep more because I think about the babies and children that haven't got mummies.
Crying now!

Airports and the song ‘happy birthday’ always gets me

I'm generally an emotional mess. This week alone I cried when a friend played some classical music on her new Sonos speaker. It was so beautiful.
I was also shown around an animal hospital for work and walked past ICU and all the vets and nurses were so busy and focused on helping one dog and I started crying mid-serious walk through.

One particular song. Makes me think of my very first love from when I was 15, im 30 now and can’t listen to it ever without welling up.
Funnily enough I bumped into him on a night out, I’d stepped outside to cool off because said song had been playing but didn’t tell him that. Later that night he came to find me to tell me he’d gone outside because that song chokes him up

Earlier this week I cried at a video of a baby and puppy growing up together. At the end, the puppy was older and the baby was a toddler and they were asleep with their arm and paw over each other. I burst out crying!

Should mention, I have neither a baby nor a puppy so I’m not sure why this tugged on my heartstrings so much!

@billydilly Awww, beautiful. That made me well up.
This is such a lovely thread.
For me, every single Michael Morpurgo book. Oh goodness, they make me sob.

Really old black people either in photos or videos. I mean the incredibly wrinkling looking like they have lived a long time. Properly makes me cry every time.
I am mixed race and I think it's the idea that black don't crack. So if a black person has managed to get that old, that far, I think their life was probably quite hard. Growing up with lots of racism etc,. Just something gets to me

The Proclaimers singing, 'Five hundred miles', reduces me to tears every time.

The Paralympics, but not in a patronising “aw bless” way. When I watch and it cuts to their family screaming in support I burst into tears because I know that they cried for that person with worry and sadness and now they are a bloody Olympian. I can’t remember who the athlete was but their aunts was interviewed at the stadium and said “I remember looking into their cot and worried about what kind of life they’d have and they just won a gold (I think) medal.”

Flowers, they're all so very beautiful and perfectly formed, people must think I'm a bit crazy when I say 'Just look at how wonderful that is!'

Recently, watching Toy Story 4. It just reminded me of watching the first Toy Story films with my children when they were toddlers. I’m not unhappy at all now, I have a lovely life but I just absolutely loved my life when the kids were little and it just made me a bit sad that that time is over.

Also, going into my children’s rooms when they’re not here and seeing how they've left them. Things like a half finished drawing, a toy left out on a desk or something they’ve written on a post it note for later. I think it’s just seeing the things that are important to them....it’s hard to explain, I think I’m a bit weird...🤣

Puff the magic dragon, the thought of him being abandoned and forgotten by the boy he loved makes me sob, I avoid it at all costs.

Claire Lomas finishing the London marathon, not being awarded a medal because she “took too long” and loads of people giving her their medals instead saying she deserved their medals more than they did (she absolutely did).
