After I cry over something really upsetting, I tend to sniff involuntarily, almost in a hyperventilating manor. I can't control it and it usually happens if I'm trying to hide the fact that I was crying. Am I alone here? Is it normal?

    I used to do that a lot when I was little, but for some strange reason if I cry now, I don't do that anymore.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to be able to explain it but my brain seems to be temporarily offline because I can't remember the precise explanation. It's normal, though.
