Just that... It is easier to talk about happiness, laughter, anger, envy, and others but for me this isnt easy at all...
Silently, as i've always done.

I don't often cry, but when I do, I catch up for all the times I didn't cry. Lol.

Under this hard exterior and cool sexiness, I'm a soft gooey mess.

As a kid, I cried here and there. Was a pretty vocal crier too. As an adult, all I have done at times is quietly shed a few tears at the most.

Regardless of what age you are, I don't think there's anything wrong with crying. I hate it when some say "real men don't cry" and things like that. Crying can be a release of something.

Don't know. Haven't cried in years. I don't think that I have any tears left.

Well you are doing it, if your doing it silently.

At least it's something.

I agree wiith Charlie. I don't cry very often, but when I do....I really cry. Lol.
As a kid I was taught never to cry and for a long time I didn't let myself. I really don't enjoy crying but it really I better in some instances to just let it go and go on

Depends on why I am crying. If it's because I am watching a movie it's just some silent, mostly expressionless tears. Fortunately I don't often cry at movies.

If it's because of something of actual significance, then I'm unusually off by myself trying to be quiet and expressionless. The expressionless don't usually happen, though.

There are definitely different reasons that bring tears. Not all crying is the same.

There was actually something really neat that I either read about or saw a video of, that tears caused by different emotions actually look different under a microscope o.0

Sometimes I'm quiet, sometimes I'm loud. It all just depends.

How I cry when I find out that the actor that plays a character I just fell in love with is gay...

I guess it depends on the situation. If I'm very upset by something I might sob a little. It feels good to cry once and a while.

Im honestly not sure how to answer : p I mean I definitely cry, but I guess it all depends on the situation.

Most of the time I do it privately, like if someone walks into the room Ill wipe my eyes and change my thoughs and keep myself under control. I dont like to expose others to my emotional stuff because it causes guilty feelings in me, as if Im making a show of my emotions (thats not a personal attack on anyone, thats just my own personal feelings about myself), so when possible I like to keep it between me and God.

I have cried aloud to a few certain people before, though. Mostly my mom, of course : p I did once to a friend of mine, I like how he dealt with it too. He pretty much nudged me with his shoulder, playfully told me to "buck up" and became enthusiastic about doing something silly to pass the time (after lending me his ear and all that of course), I just thought it was a really nice, heartfelt attempt to pick me up which made me feel better : p

Sometimes certain things can make me teary eyed. Some songs, and like scenes from video games or tv shows and a few movies (not a big movie fan for the most part). I dont really totally consider that crying, though : p But definitely an emotional response.

I cry silently, unless I am trying to stop crying, in which case it gets ugly :p

i cry silently, too, unless it's something really gut wrenching....

i used to go somewhere to be alone to cry, but now i tear up so frequently, my family and friends are used to it. :rolleyes:

normally someone already has a tissue in hand for me, especially if i'm getting a gift.

one of my daughters gave me a wall hanging that says, 'the best things in life are not things'.

i ask you! crying, right? ;)
