Who said they needed a good cry?

I'll start with this Guiness commercial

I hate to cry.

I fear crying.

I need to cry.

 

[Loverskitten]

It's been proven to be good for stress relief, actually. I never used to cry, until I had my son, then I became a big sap for some reason?

I'd just like a good hug. Is there a thread for that?

I cry a lot during football season.

It helps.

Btw, I read something on facebook about babies crying to signify they are alive and all through life we continue to do that.

Personally now that I'm in menopause, the damn tears just pop out and I'm not even trying to cry. *grr*

I'd just like a good hug. Is there a thread for that?

I cry too much, too easily of late. But an outside trigger makes a nice excuse.

When I dwell on the negative things that are stressing me out right now, I want to cry. If I really get to the point where I do, I do it in the shower so no one knows.

Same here. Or in the car if I'm alone.

I cry daily at the moment! In the shower, the car, with friends, alone...

I cry at work because of stress. And because of my own personal issues. Usually I'll go into the bathroom though so my coworkers don't see me.

Crying certainly is a needed release at times... but I hate losing my composure!

 

[Loverskitten]

Not really a cry... but certainly an awwwww

This doesn't really bring tears for me but it is amazing how people are so willing to help an animal in distress.

This is what brings pain to my heart and tears to my eyes. Place Matters! Now that I'm not gainfully employed and do work only for nonprofits, I see how few are really willing to change things and that brings even more tears.

I cry whenever I see a wedding in a movie or on a show. I didn't get a wedding when I got married... I cry for that and the fact that I didn't have a loving spouse.

When my mum died, the kids were quite young, both under 10, and I was trying hard not to be upset or cry in front of them in case they found it distressing.

My friend pointed out that perhaps it was better to let them see their mum cry, to show that it was ok to be unhappy and let it show, even when you're a grown up, that it is a normal and legitimate facet of adult emotion. I think she was right.

Luckily, I don't have the need to cry too often....but Polar Express gets me every time

It might just be a genetics thing and you can't help that if you didn't know. I find the longer I'm a parent that genetics are very strong. You can modify behavior if you work at it but yeah.

my youngest daughter burrows like I do, sometimes just for fun, but like me, particularly when she's upset.

The need to feel isolated and hidden in order to feel secure enough to be upset is... shitty. I thought this was a behavior I developed in adaptation to my father, but maybe it's something I would have done either way. I was hoping not to impart this to my children.

Most of the time these days it's just locking myself in a dark bathroom when I'm really upset, but in years past I would squirm into the corners of otherwise full closets, under beds, behind furniture, or other obscure and claustrophobically small corners where no one would think a person could fit, let alone look for a grown man. My claustrophobia only kicks in if something or someone is in that space with me. With the wrong people or noisy crowds, even a gymnasium is not enough space to breathe.

Yes; I remember being exceptionally good at hide & seek when I chose to be.

My wife laughs it off as "two adorable sluagh." Her theory is that our daughter picked it up as a taught behavior; choosing to mimic me, not an adaptive behavior in avoidance of us, and that it's nothing to worry about.

I hope she's right, but I guess I also need to be more careful what I model. (face palm)

 

[FurryFury]

I understand that.

its less important to me to cull this behavior than to make sure not to reproduce the emotional reasoning for it.

There are times I am a much more mercurial parent that I'd like, i need to work on consistency in a lot of things.

maybe I should talk about parenting more in my own thread.
