Do you still remember the last time you cry? not just from watching sentimental movies but because of you've been hurt by someone or you've missed someone? I could still remember the last time my tears had shed, it's when I went with my husband to the airport and seen him parting from me to ride on the airplane and goes back to his work. And that made me cry, he didn't saw me crying because he hates it, i just cry after wards.

The last time I cry is when I leave home to study in a far place.
When the train got to move, my tears dropped. It is the first time I leave home to go to a far place. I think my parents was also upset for my leaving.

I remember the time when i was still a college student too, i went to a college school which is far from our home, i have to go home once in every semester only since it's too far. I cried a lot so much even in the bus every time i leave home.

That would be very hard. There's just so much comfort in knowing your parents are close by. However, I think it's very empowering to realize how much you really can handle on your own. I'm sure the experience helped you grow quite a bit.

The last time I remember crying was because someone hurt me. I'd rather not go into detail about it, though. That was several months ago. I was brought up to believe that crying is a sign of weakness. However, I don't feel this way any more. Crying is good for you. It's a good emotional release. Kathy.

I was brought up thinking that crying is a sign of weakness, but I've learned that it's really not. It shows that you are strong enough to deal with your emotions and help yourself by releasing them. If you don't, each day will be much harder for you.

I cried just today, actually. My boyfriend was acting very upset, and was ignoring me for the longest time. I thought I had done something to upset him, so I ended up crying because I was sad that he was sad. I always cry when my boyfriend leaves to go somewhere too; He used to live in a different state so seeing him get on that bus to go home was always heartbreaking, and I would end up crying on his shoulder.

It's normal, especially if you are in love with the person you're with. see him leaving or not talking for a while makes the person cries because of longingness.

Crying is such a release. I would go crazy if I didn't cry from time to time. It just feels so good sometimes. I know exactly what you mean.

I can completely relate. I do this all the time. Some songs just bring me back to times in my life and I will cry as both a mixture of sadness and happiness. It really depends on my mood. I also cry a lot during movies.. I guess I just get really lost in them :)

I cry when I think of the girl who said to me : " There is no possibility of that, " in reference to my request for a relationship. I genuinely thought that we could be good together and be good for each other. She had so many great qualities. But, I guess, we are not supposed to have everything. Somehow I think my chances were destroyed by another person. No hard feelings here but it does make me cry.

That would be Saturday morning. I had given up something I really wanted to do, by myself, for someone elses sake. When they found out, they said that they were very hurt by me because I hadnt asked if they'd wanted to go with me. It really upset me to think that they had turned it around to be a guilt-trip on me, so I just walked away and cried tears of frustration.

i cried today, but i've been more emotional in the past few years, when I was younger in my teens, hardly anything made me cry..now it just flows, my mom thinks its because i'm getting to the age where I'm a "mom" age and you become more sensitive to things...

I go through fazes like this. I can't help but laugh at myself sometimes, because I will cry over the smallest things. But, I'd rather be emotional than not have any emotions at all. I'm glad to be so in touch with my feelings :)

That's funny you asked this question. I actually cried this morning. I have been going through a whole lot lately. I have been really hurt by my baby father and his entire family. It was really an emotional time for me. I am getting through it all glory be to God. Sometimes you just have to let things and people go in order to grow in God. If they are not helping you spiritually or even physically let them go, because it is an unhealthy relationship, created to bring you down and destroy you. I use to cry all the time when I was little, I was very sensitive, but as I got older, I started to defend myself and did not allow people to walk all over me. I cry now when I am really hurt emotionally. It is very painful to go through emotional pain with someone and have to deal with that same person and his family on a day to day basis. That's how I know it is through God's grace I can forgive them and let it and them go. It's good to cry because you release all the pain and hurt that you are holding inside, so that you won't take it out on people who really care about you or the next person you meet who really loves you.

Yes, actually I do, even though it was a long time ago. I think, the last time that I cried was at 7 years old, when my brother closed the door with my last finger in between. It hurt a lot and I ended up crying hard and screaming. I don't blame my brother for what he did, because we were still young and couldn't really understand what we were doing.
Regarding the whole crying thing:
I believe women cry more then men. My mother is 45 and my father is 50. In my whole life, I have never seen my father cry (19 years), but my mother, she has cried several times, 10 times + I think. I think men don't cry because they hate to show their emotions and want to be looked at as someone strong. Whilst women cry and show their emotions because they are "softer" then men.
I think it's good to cry because when you feel very bad, normally your body is filled with stress and by crying, you can relieve that stress which makes you feel better.

The last time I cried was last night when my grandmother passed away. I had just been sitting there with her and she was still breathing. I left her side, came back, and she wasn't anymore. The strange thing is, I was on the phone with the nurse giving her updates. The nurse said, "Don't forget to call us when she passes", and then I had to call her right back. I'm handling it much better than I'd expected, but I am still in shock. I'm not ready for her to be picked up.. but then at the same time I am. It's like, I just need to move on. I'm so glad she's not in pain anymore! :)
