Do you cry easy?

Post Reply New Topic

Thanks Beth. When I was really into Psychology I would analyze everything my parents did (example how they yelled at the kids at dinner time) my mom/dad would yell at me etc. I asked the teacher what if I gave her advice on raising her daughter (she said she'd take the advice and move on) IMO sure who am I to give you advice on raising your child but yelling/spanking/calling me a b***h I DON'T NEED A PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE OR A PSYCHOLOGIST TO TELL ME THIS IS BAD BEHAVIOR AND A BAD WAY TO RAISE A CHILD SHEESH!! !! !! ! I'm glad the teacher wouldn't care. She was nice like that but like you said my behavior even upset her aswell (so it leaves me questioning sadly who to trust and in all honesty while I like alot of WP members IMO face to face sooner or later you wouldn't like me. IMO anyway.

I do, especially when people yell, especially at me.

Previously, another member (apologies, unsure of name, but thank you to that member!) posted a similar article BUT the above is a scholarly article about Autism and "shutdowns (SD)." mysassyself: Your post was very descriptive and this article resonates. Of course, we all know about "meltdowns" but rarely are SD's mentioned, noting certainly not applicable to all nor are all signs apparent. I previously printed this article for my review. Anyway, some interesting material, yes?

BTW Beth also you said it's them with the problem A therapist I talked to when I discussed having issues with upsetting family,Psychology teacher,people to the point of having no friends etc. he said that's them having a problem with me WHAT PROBLEMS DO I HAVE? I was TOTALLY confused LOL! He makes since but I still stand by learning from my mistakes and not thinking it's everyone else with the problem because truthfully society is NEVER GOING TO accept us as much as we wish they did.

Thanks LabPet yes it is an interesting article. Oh how I love reading research. Now if only I could be the one DOING THE RESEARCH I would feel complete. (So many research ideas. LOL!)

Agree with you, give me historical research to do on smiting and fencing or an electronic workshop and I am happy for the rest of my life.

Wow, LabPet, that looks like a fantastic article. Excellent, and thank you. I am currently browsing and I will read through more thoroughly later. I did notice the section about impairment of verbal memory and hippocampal affects - very interesting, I know I have an impaired short term memory/verbal memory (ie sometimes by the end of the sentence I forget it, despite my excellent memory in other aspects. when I really focus it doens't happen as much though).

Technically he is right. They did have a problem with you because they didn't accept you or appreciate you so of course they are going to have a problem. We also have problems with people. The same thing happens to people off the spectrum, sometimes someone has a problem with one of them. One of my dad's cousin's had a problem with my parents and with me. She had a problem with my uncle too and we all had problems with her. But it was her with the problem because she was so narrow minded and judgmental and when she get a thought in her head without even hearing the whole story, she stuck with it and didn't want to hear your side of the story. She cut you off saying she didn't want to hear your hearsay or excuse. That's why she was so hard to get along with. I'm sure other people had problems with her too.

But I'm glad you see the gray areas, you want to learn from your mistakes and make some changes if people will just help you out, not get mad at you and blow up. Like if you say something wrong that is rude, just tell you, but don't get mad and scream at you and scream. That doesn't help. If they are going to act that way, yeah it's them with the problem, not you. That's what I mean.

There are people out there who do accept us, we just have to look for them

Weird to say, but I wish I could cry more easily. Sometimes I want to cry, but it just don't "get out".

I cry SUPER easy, though I don't think I am very sensitive. I cry at, like, commercials and stuff.;;; It's so stupid. And I can't have serious conversations without randomly crying. It's not even really the commercial or conversation, it's that it makes me think about something usually...some random thought that's sparked by the thing will just come on really vivid. And it's the vividness that makes me cry, not the emotion, because it doesn't have to be an upsetting or sad thought.

Lately I can't seem to cry when I'm upset myself but when I read or watch something sad, I start weeping. It's quite disconcerning

I cry easily watching movies but otherwise, no.

Ya I'm glad I see the gray areas too because IMO you might be thinking (Oh I'll go on with life to a new College etc.) but IMO what if you upset THAT Psychology teacher and do you know what's ABOVE upsetting your Psychology teacher? A COP AND LANDING IN JAIL!! !! ! (Sexual Harassment got brought up at my 1st job within 3 months and almost got me fired!! !) So there are some behaviors I need to change and I agree if only there were people there to "guide" me along and help me I'd appreciate it. I agree to an extent it's them with the problem I sadly would talk about how nice a coworker,Psychology teacher and mention a nice thing one Therapist said my mom's response (If you agree with your Psychology teacher,Coworker,Therapist GO LIVE WITH THEM!! !) My Psychology teacher looked at me strangely and asked if she could speak to my mom LOL! I told her no. So sadly while I have my Psychological issues the more I think about it IMO the more I think it's MY FAMILY with the BIGGER PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES!! !! !! !! !! (yelling,swearing,Go live with X person (you barely know etc.)

At least crying is healthy...I hope people don't supress it when they're alone.

Don't cry much, unless I recall my past, or very easily with movies...

Sometimes I feel the need to cry and can't keep it down. Those moments are rare, though; I'm more of an 'explosive rage' type than a 'crying' type.
