Is it normal that i sometimes purposely make myself cry?

Sometimes I just have to let out tears. It's not sad, it's just a release. It can be done with powerful classical music or videos of soldiers reuniting with their families, or of drug interventions on camera... any time someone else starts crying I turn into a puddle of tears. Is it normal that I seek this out from time to time (once or twice a month maybe)? I am male.

    Sounds a good way of dealing with stuff to me, better than drugs or self harming or stuff like that.....

    If you're a girl, it's perfectly normal. If you're a guy, inject some fuckin' steroids and MAN UP!

    You are right that crying is a kind of release. It helps us to release our emotions and stress. I think it's totally normal because I do that frequently too. It's even good for you to do so. There's nothing wrong with releasing our emotions or simply feelings.

    To me, crying and tears are beautiful because they represent the existence of human's emotions. Whatever your gender is, you should embrace your habit of crying.

    I make myself cry when I start feeling down for whatever reason. I find it to be an easy and efficient way to rid of stress.
