Is it normal that i don't cry at all? (i'm a woman)

Crying is like shitting. Holding it in can hurt you, letting it out wherever and whenever could lead people to think less of you. Best to let it out when the time is right - when you're alone and comfortable or with a trusted friend or family member. No one tolerates shit like trusted friends and family members.

It has nothing to do with your gender. Society throughout the years has put bizarre rules of what is to be expected on genders. For instance, women are supposed to be whiny ass bitches who cry too fucking much. Men are expected to bottle up all of their emotions because, god forbid, any man that dares to display them is a pussy. Absolute nonsense. I'm a female who has been called,"Emotionally Cold" (etc.) I'll admit that I can feel pretty emotionally numb too. I used to cry a lot because, I used to be extremely sensitive. Surprisingly, I got criticised for that behaviour. There is nothing wrong with your lack of tears.

I heard from a professor that men on average live 7 years less because we are discouraged from expressing emotion. In other words, it puts unhealthy stress on you not to cry.

If you don't feel anything you might be emotionally detached.

I used to be like that! Then I realized it had some negative reprocusions. Not sure what I did, but now I'm a total cry baby. Sad movie? Ball my eyes out. I was reborn as a sensititve spirit *siiigghhhh* lol I used to think crying was embarassing to, but i'm starting to see how essential it is. Especially when I'm on my period. I don't cry and bring my negative feeling out on others, I just cry when I have to. Sometimes people are like 'Omg, what's wrong!' And i'm like, no idea :'( I'm just crying. lol

what a strong girl. well, but holding on to your tears can hurt you even more. so its okay to be weak sometimes.

I cry all the time but didn't when my grandmother died. I have just cried last week.

i'm the same way, however mine is a mental thing. I cried all the time when I was little and everyone thought I was weak and I never liked attention so when I cried I got attention as a kid that i didn't want. So, one day i just became numb to everything and stopped crying. its not that I'm holding back my tears its that I cant produce any! I know one day I'll probably have a break down but really i don't like attention or pity from any one and I refuse to. So n o your not the only woman like this. I personally think it makes you look like a stronger woman then those over emotional ones that cry at EVERYTHING.

Congrats your an adult.

I feel the same as you and I know a couple of people who also have this mentality. Although, bottling your feelings is never good for your health. Try to find someone to talk to, because I guarantee you that opening up your feelings to someone you trust is way better than stomach osiers. Better yet, if you want, try making a blog, as a place to express all that is troubling you, that way you can let your emotions out and people will listen, but you'll have the anonymity at your side.
