I just can't cry. Sometimes, when i'm watching this very emotional movie, i really feel like crying, and i want to, but i can't!
Is this normal? Anyone else feel like this?

    You can't force crying - it will happen when it happens.

      Which is never.. unfortunately. I really don't feel forced to, but it just won't happen, even if i do actually get emotional.

        Maybe you just deal with these situations differently; the fact that you recognize that you are getting emotional tells me (anyway) that you are an emotional human being - I wouldnt worry about it too much.

    If you want to cry then punch yourself in the face as hard as you can. You should cry then.

    This must be some kind of depression in my case... donno how about you?

        Then this is pretty normal. I am much of the same way myself unless something quite drastic happens to me. Even then, it is very difficult.

    To me this isn't normal.

    I don't cry often but when I do it's intense. I cry hard enough to strain my chest muscles.

    It is generally not normal to not cry. People that are traumatized or raised with parents that withheld emotions tend to not cry.

    There are other ways of showing emotion... Personally I don't show emotions at all or don't have many feelings except for Love & Hate... nothing in between I feel no pity, compassion or something like this^^

    I say no because I am the opposite. I usually try to hold back my tears because I don't want to look like a blubbering idiot while watching a movie. It doesn't always work. Haha.

    Well, just because an emotional movie doesn't make you cry doesn't mean you can't cry. It simply means that movies don't effect you that much. I'm sure you can cry. It probably just has to be more personal to you.

    Me too can't cry, last time i cried was in 2008 when my GF ditched me. I cried for almost 6 months. From then i never cried, no matter how much worse the situation happened, i never cried, never. So i believe it is normal..

    The internet has emotionally stunted everyone. We're all desensitized to life and the troubles it brings. I wouldn't worry. Something will happen in your life that will make you cry, but it's not something you want to dwell on or think about. Life is about smiling, not worrying about the failure to cry.

    Maybe you're worried of what others will think? Has anyone ever told you it's a sign of weakness or similar? It's not - it's a very natural reaction. Just one of those funny things that help us deal with things.

      Even when i'm alone, and i want to cry i just can't. I can feel the tears coming up but they won't show.

        Hmm, I do think that's unusual but not abnormal. Have you researched it further online? You might get an opinion from a medical professional or a therapist. I'm sort of the opposite, I cry way too easily! : /
