Why do i cry?

I have always been a sensitive person and I tend to cry a little easily--watching a touching or sad movie, when a megaton of stress just becomes too much, etc. I've always been especially sensitive to yelling or people getting angry, and not always necessarily at me. I've always had a low tolerance toward people getting in my face and yelling at me. It really doesn't take much to bring me to tears.

Anyway, once in a while when I'm hanging out with my boyfriend alone (he would never do this in front of other people), and we're goofing around, he'll get in my face and yell at me and say derogatory things or whatever--we both know that he's obviously kidding, but that guy has been doing acting for 15 years now... So he yells at me and I instantly break down crying. I have no clue why, I don't feel mad or upset in anyway, it just happens. This usually resolves with him holding me and apologizing, but now that we're kind of accustomed to this, sometimes he does it more (after apologizing), then I start crying harder and he laughs and I cry and laugh. He really gets a kick out of it and it's "cute." I find it funny afterward, but now that I think about it, it's just really weird to me.

I am honestly in the greatest relationship ever, and I've never had any real problems growing up or anything like that. I have the same stresses a lot of people do in college, but at least I'm really enjoying it. This doesn't even "just" happen if I'm having a bad day and I have a lot of pent-up stress, it can happen on any kind of day.

I've kind of labeled this as some sort of reaction or something, like if you touch a hot stove burner and take your hand off of right away.

Is this normal...?

    I would think that was cute. Think I really like your relationship with your boyfriend and that he tries to make you cry more and more lol. Sounds funny and all is good if there is nothing malicious in it.

    my wife of 21 years cries easily. I think it is learned because her mother cries very easily. Our oldest of 4 nieces would cry easily well into her teens.She is now 18.I don't know whether she still does or not.

    I once listened to a UTube interview of Gwen Stefani, who I find awsome, and (I think) I remember her saying that she cries at least once a day.
    She is a winner in my book, so don't feel bad about yourself.

    If your finding it a problem, think about what your getting upset at and really think about weather it's worth crying over and try talk yourself through it with out getting all emotional.
