Is there something wrong with me? i am a guy and i cry too easily?

I, VirgilManly, being a manly man of masculine manliness occasionally cry. It's part of being human. Plus you're in your teens you are filled with hormonal changes so it can increase moodiness. Your abuse probably also has an effect on it.

Is there someone you can talk to about your abuse? A councilor, doctor, or therapist? It could help.

No, there is nothing wrong with being able to cry so easily. I am one of them who cries so easily over something. I hate crying, but my tears just come out. You're just really sensitive.

As a boy you are taught that crying alienates yourself and decreases your value. It does not. There's nothing wrong with crying.

Crying doesn't mean you are "weak" or "pathetic." You have to understand that. Being weak and pathetic is like bullying others to make you feel good about yourself or going against what you know is right for money or for selfish reasons e.g. hating adverts and commerciality and then a modelling agent says you'd be great in the next fanta advert, and you leave all your morals behind and go for it coz you're getting $20 thousand or something. Or not owning up to something that was your fault. That's a weak person, imo. Nothing to do with crying.

You are more fragile emotionally, which is understandable given your history. The same abuse happened in my life and I used to cry at anything too, like someone jumping the queue or giving me a bad look. As I've gotten older I've naturally become less emotional but sometimes miss those days when my emotions were so raw and available like that. You're probably sensitive to other people's feelings too, which is a very good trait. You might even be more sensitive to art? I know I am, and I see being emotional as a good thing. Plus a man who is in touch with his emotions, is...attractive. And I know you feel you are crying a bit too much...so I would also say going abroad, getting away from home, doing things out of your comfort zone, feeling proud of yourself for achievements and things can help...at least it did with me. And as others said, seeing a therapist about the abuse might help.

Maybe you need an outlet as well...for me writing, dancing, singing, piano and painting have all helped.

It's not normal to cry that easily. Crying is important to most and most should do it when emotional but I also believe people have to learn restraint from crying aswell as cry a healthy amount. I remember a kid in highschool who was the exact same. When we had to run the track he would cry due to not being able to do it (because he was worn out, not because he felt like he was failing or something).

You're perfectly fine and there is nothing wrong with you.

I was physically abused as a young kid as well...and if a big guy were to yell at me I have to fight the strong urge to flee or cry. So I force myself to be brave and remind myself I am not in physical danger.

So I dont think you are weak I think you're brave too.

Crying is just a part of being human. There's nothing wrong with it. It's healthy to cry sometimes because holding in emotions will only cause more damage. Also, no child should ever be abused or neglected so my condolences to you.

Child Abuse is a reason why people need to be tested vigorously and thoroughly in order to have kids.

If someone screams at me I'll get pissed off...not cry. Perhaps you have a different temperament and you being abused is a contributing factor because you still need to feel loved. Its also possible that your body may be producing excess amounts of estrogen (female hormone) and this could be making you really emotional. I think getting your hormone levels checked as well as talking to someone about your fears is a start. Also don't give a fuck about people and the crazy shit that they do...don't let it upset you or interfere with your life. Look at life positively because that's the only way you can get through. If crying helps at times that's not bad but don't cry because of someone else.
