How often do you cry?

[tadpole73]

Just wondering how often women on here cry. Admittedly, going through trauma can cause constant sadness, but I’m intrigued to see what people write.

Hardly ever, probably about 2 years ago and that was watching a film.

I'm just not very emotional.

Quite often, caused by different things.

Hormones- when I have pmt, ill usually have a bit of a row with Dh, I'll think we need to divorce(thankfully I don't voice this) and cry. As soon as my period starts I'll be like "wtf was all that about"

Missing people who have died, makes me cry, especially when I've had a drink.

Horrible stuff happening in the world makes me cry. I've recently stopped watching as much news and it's done me good.

Rarely in 'real life' but at a gooey film occasionally.

Never. It doesn't mean I'm not sad, though. I just can't.

I wasn't allowed to cry as a child an d I think it's force of habit now....

All the time, seemingly the smallest of things sometimes, mostly not sad crying though. Funny, I was on the thread "what women called periods in the 50's", that set me off thinking about when there wasn't contraception like there is today and the woman prayer for their period and the relief of not being pregnant. How the woman must have suffered.

Last time was about 3 years ago at the funeral of a 6 week old boy born to friends of ours at about the same time our DS was born.

Before that i was probably about 8/9 the last time I cried. DW is convinced I'm broken.

Apparently I very very rarely cried even as a little kid.

I don't cry very often. I did once last month as dh and I had an argument. Before that I can't remember when I last cried.

My eyes mist up a bit at sad parts in books, films, etc, but not proper crying.

About 5 years ago my answer would have been very different as I was grieving. But most of the time it takes quite a lot to make me cry.

By this thread so far I'm quite surprised at how little most people cry, I'd recommend it if you can, feels much better after you've had one imo.

Peace your post assumes that everyone who doesn’t cry is sad and bottling it up which isn’t necessarily true.

Some people may express it in other ways and others are just mostly happy.

I didn't mean it to sound like that, that's why I said if you can and imo.

Everyday...

I cry when I'm angry, which is several times a day to be honest. It's very annoying because it's one of the least helpful response to being angry I can think of.

Hardly ever. I used to cry alot. I know if i start I'll never be able to stop, its best to be numb so i can function.

Ah Phoenix

Too much for my liking.

Embarrassed, cry
Angry, cry
Upset, cry
Proud, cry
Happy, cry

It's ridiculous

Spent the last 6 months crying nearly everyday. Separated last month and now not cried for 2 weeks! Verging on happy. Thank god.

I have shed a thousand tears since my DM was killed in a car accident last year. Otherwise, very rarely.

for everyone going through horrible times.

I hear ya @movingon1611

I can't remember the last time, I'm not a big cryer.

When I do tho, the heavens open

Very, very rarely.

Hardly ever. I cried about a year ago when I really hurt myself and before that the last time was about 3 years previously. I'm counting any amount including an odd tear.

Hardly ever. Only when separated from my darling children.

30 years old & would often cry happiness/sadness, but haven't cried at all since the day I went to see my father at the funeral directors after we lost him back last November, changed my emotions forever I think
