Im scared to cry infront of anyone because it makes me feel weak, dead, gone, and everything else, I find solace in music, I havent cried for years, for anything, funerals, death, sad moments, even to be happy, is this normal? I would say more but I dont want to waste you're time with my problems
Yes. I was raised with this same notion and eventually discarded after years of bottling feelings. Own up to how you feel and be dead honest with others. It commands great respect from those that feel and can not express themselves. Crying was the most healthy habit I learned it releases this powerful energy. Knowing how to hold it in can protect you at moments. Just recognize when and where you can release it.
Hearing stories of others who prevailed against the odds, remembering love shared with significant others, or listening to music that bloomed out of someone's pain makes me cry.
The world is overflowing with apathy. I found it fascinating how certain cultures would preserve sensitivity in children and others beat, or educate, it out of them. Emotion is our connecting bridge to fellow humans and music is reflection of self. Don't stop talking or feeling and give it time to loosen up. Took me years.
P.S. You already bothered us with your problems writing this post ;). We come here to do a self-check on our sanity. Let it all out we actually do care what you have to say.
yeah it's normal, i didn't cry for years & then one day i did in front of my mom & she called me a drama queen. can you fucking believe that? you're better off not showing emotion, it's easy to alter your reactions once you're practiced. smoke a joint, you'll be asking yourself why you were ever upset in the first place.
I never cry in front of people for the same reason. I, however cry alot when I'm alone usually for these reasons: TV shows, movies, books, games.
I always stop myself from crying when others are around its just automatic. When my father died I did not cry although I loved him, everyone else cried and I felt so weird for not crying. But I guess some ppl just can't do it. I cry sometimes if I am alone like watching a touching movie and if someone walks in I stop immediately before they find out lol don't know why it just happens.
