What was the last thing that made you cry?

If it's who I think it is....I can suggest some good books for him to read on self esteem. I don't normally bawl either. I do get choked up at sad things...I can even tear up when things are really bad...like at work, if someone passes. To really cry...I feel so vulnerable...I hold it in and suffer silently.

books on self esteem, now that's an interesting thought...

I used to read self help books all the time. The last one I read was 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Some of them, like that one have some pretty good advice and can help a person understand what there doing wrong. I quit reading so many of them cause I realized that just reading won't make a difference. You have to actually put them into practice....lol. Seriously though, if this person is motivated to actually help himself...there are good resources out there for what he needs to understand...buy one and leave it sitting somewhere and act like...'oh, where did that come from?' lol

Thankyou : ) Yes it comforts me to know that I will always have a friend in God. He keeps me going everyday and gives me hope.

Don't concern yourself with people who are unfriendly. Someday, they will really need someone to care....and no one will be there. Pray for those who treat you badly...they will need you...more than you need them, someday. :) I do not advocate being cruel in return...but I've seen this sort of thing happen myself. What a person does to others...what they SOW....IS what they REAP. I hope you reap much friendship from now on!

People can be cruel pinklemonade...that is why I put my trust in God...and if all else fails...I know I will never be let down. Feel free to come by my discussions all you want. :) There are people who know how to be real friends in this world.

That would choke me up too....I often cry at my grandchildren's accomplishments. Congratulations to him!

I have been tearing up over the passing of these two icons of our age as well. It is for myself as well as for their shortened lives....for there is a sense of losing my youth in their passing.

I can relate, just last week my 27 year old daughter who is being tested for heart problems...cried from being overwhelmed. I too, have been so tired and stressed it's made me cry. Did you feel better afterwards?

There is much evidence that a good cry is cleansing for the soul. I have even heard that those who hold in their tears, and refuse to cry suffer more stress damage to their bodies.

I felt asleep and then I feel better when I wake up.

garychie, it doesn't matter what age we are, if our parents split up it hurts us. I went through that too. I was three and my mom left my dad for another man. He became my step father, abused me and when my mother left him I was 12. All those years I very rarely got to see my dad. Later, my mother told me her reasons. But I still hurt from it all these years later. It is a big problem....I hope you are able to work through it and come out stronger.
