Do you cry easy?

Post Reply New Topic

If emotion don't get me to a high level of emotion, no, might even seem cold or angry, for cannot really control the volume of my voice so my usual one is low volume and can instantly go to something that can seem like screaming to other. My actual normal voice is loud, but it no longer my usual one, for when I was a kid people always told me to stop screaming so after few I came to adopt a low voice, which is the voice I come to have when I speak to other and have to think hard to say thing that make sense to other (which is most of the time I got to speak), but the when my speech become fluid in my head I come to have my normal voice back (rarely about anything else then my interest)

But if emotion get me to a high level of emotion I come to lose control of my body react to the emotion and start to cry in uncontrolled fashion. When I was a kid I also went berzerk when people were getting me frustrated, but learned to control that emotional high for there was a group of bully which fun was getting me into that state even through it was dangerous for them to do, so came to see controlling that emotion was the only way was the only way out, for even those I came to injure continued to do so.


Only remember one time a kid who tried to know what was wrong since I was crying, forgot why I was crying that time but remember that moment for one of the rare time someone actually showed some care about me even through I didn't know him by more then name (we were only about 90 of my grade in school in my hometown). Through I came to ignore him for in those moment I just want to be left alone.

Yes, I do cry easily in some ways... but i'm very good at holding it until the pressure point which is not a very wise thing to do which sometimes also leads me into a meltdown stage... but mainly what people say, mostly the ones i'm very close to and sometimes I can take it personally to heart... Online it isn't such a problem, its only when its been directly said to me in a firm or aggressive tone.

I very rarely cry. It isn't very often I have emotions associated with crying; if I do cry it tends to be in a sentimental way.

Yeah, VERY easily. Minor things set me off.

I recall crying a lot as a child, but as I went through one pain after another, it seemed it would "raise the bar" on what would set me off.

I've been through some really bad things. Today, it's so hard to cry that I can't recall the last time I really had it happen.

As a kid.

as a kid i did cry easily.

You often tell us about things that your family say to you, and---sorry if this is too blunt---but frankly, a lot of times it sounds like they are rude. Obviously I don't know them, but it sounds like there's a lot of name-calling and personal attacks. Just a few minutes ago I read something where you mentioned that your mother calls you a "rude b**ch". To me, that's not okay.

It doesn't happen very often, but I'm human, and once in a while I get really stressed out and say something unkind to one of my kids, like "why do you have to be so lazy?" As soon as I catch myself, I apologize, and say, "Hey, I'm sorry for calling you lazy. I know you've been helping out. I'm just feeling tired and overwhelmed." I can't imagine calling anyone in my family "b**ch" or something equally as hateful. That would never happen even by accident. If a family member spoke to me in that way, I would cry, and I would want to leave them and not come back.

Lab Pet cries too easily. But oftentimes that is not emotion - for ex. I can cry when I see fractals that are beyond beautiful. Or other sensory stimuli that is just stunning and overwhelming.

Other times I can be ~ flooded~ where my few emotions cannot possibly hold what I feel.

The unfortunate part is that others DO judge me because I cry. I know there have been occasions when one will make me cry purposely.

In sum, I'm just highly attentuated.

^^^ Welcome back to WP!

Haven't seen you in a while!

Thank you, I'm on semi-WP hiatus. But I try to drop-in every so often. This topic already has quite a few replies; I guess Aspies are sensitive......(even though some of us might have a tough exterior).

Sadly in my family my parents put me down example "You don't want to end up alone with nobody with no friends like Brandy or you're lazy etc. (Unlike your example my family doesn't say sorry they said something wrong they stick WITH there negative comments. I agree they are rude but there's not much I can do for it. I know I've complained of the College issue etc. but the more I analyze it the more I see it wasn't getting a degree (that was part of it emotionally) but you could get away from the negativity and now that that college is gone I don't have an "outlet" (friends or getting out of the house,boyfriend,job or anything like that) Thanks for your view though I appreciate it and wish my family were like alot of different WP opinions here Thanks again.

Welcome back to WrongPlanet. I enjoy reading your posts.

Rejection makes me cry. Oddly, when I do cry I don't show any emotion, I'm very very still and flat.
Nothing else makes me cry, the only one that bothers me is death. Somebody dies, I don't cry. A doctor says they won't treat me anymore -I'm bawling for hours like a little baby girl.

In hindsight, that's kinda twisted.

My son cries over hurt feelings. Almost anything can hurt his feelings. I think he cries so easily out of frustration. Someone's mad at him and he doesn't know why and it feels unfair/random/unpredictable/unjust so he starts crying. I think it embarrasses him.

It sounds like it's not you with the problem, it's them. You did tell me on IM people outside your family don't get upset with what you say but your family does and your teacher did that one time and that didn't go well.

So this might not be you at all and your family is just too sensitive. They need to grow some balls.

My family goes "That's Beth, get over it." That's their reaction about me if anyone gets upset over what I say. Even my mom doesn't understand why people get so upset over honesty.

I am a mixture. I have extreme facial expressions at times (either that or very straight faced) and am very sensitive.
when I was small I would go into shock and stop breathing sometimes if I fell over.

I can cry easily with sensory overload or when I have to deal with people I cannot predict. People sometimes think I am crying when I'm not though, because I get this funny sad look on my face (I think it was usually from sensory overload, looking back).

These days I cry at beauty very easily. That is a quiet cry, a still cry, with sliding tears; a little like gently wringing a wet cloth.

On the other hand, it takes a REAL lot to get me to cry really hard. This kind of crying for me is downright consuming, with body-wracking, tear dropping sobbing and of course the need for many tissues. It's extremely cathartic and does of course release all the actual emotions. I usually feel great afterward.

I do like that I can be so stoic during crisis. Yet, it means I bottle emotion - I have always used art and music and writing for exactly the purpose of releasing the emotion that I cannot seem to deal with any other way.
