To not cry?

[Soitis83]

Bit light-hearted.
I watch videos of people crying at the scans of their babies, being told it's a boy or girl and they cry happy tears. Or when a dog dies in a movie people cry. I've noticed.. I just don't cry! I cried at the death of my mum, but admittedly not for very long. Don't get me wrong I love her and still miss her dearly and do of course feel sadness, but it doesn't come out in the same way as most which is tears. I didn't at the birth of all three children, just pure joy with no happy tears.
Anyone else the same?

Not unusual at all! I’m a big crier and you’re not, but we are both normal 🙂

It was seen as a weakness in my family although as my hormones have changed I'm more prone to it.

Completely normal 🤷‍♂️

What isn't normal is the performative crying of people who insist on being filmed during their baby scans, and uploading them to be gawped at by complete strangers on the internet.

Well I envy you OP. I cry much too easily and it's very embarrassing in public.
But I don't think I've ever cried happy tears. Mine are generally tears of sadness or regret. And I try my best to hide them but find I need to shed them to be able to cope with the emotion I'm feeling at the time.

I think you've just solved it for me. It certainly was in my house too

I cry at very sad films, but not much in real life – especially not out of happiness or being overwhelmed with feeling. I didn’t cry at my wedding or when my kids were born.
