Tears - An eye with tears

Don't misunderstanding my meaning! I mean only "shedding tears", not "crying". It's only a physiological phenomenon, not an expression of emotion. I'm very easy to shed tears, not only when crying, but also when laughing, being tired, yawning and sneezing. Uncontrollably, my tears come out. Maybe there's something little problem with my tear system. So I want to know Are there anyone has the same problem? Can you hold your tears well?

It seems that you have a deep love to your ex, but why do you separate from your ex?

Yes, being a man I do shed tears easily. Whenever I watch movies or a soap. I shed tears looking at the characters cry aor when they are in pain. I try to control but they automatically flow. Though I dont cry. I should agree that I am a bit emotional too.

Ya I think we are a bit emotional. Just imagine we shed tears while watching television, then what would happen on a real situation?

I'm not good at holding in tears either. Whenever I yawn or laugh too hard, I start shedding tears which is terrible because I yawn a lot and people always think that I'm crying. Everyone keeps on thinking that I'm upset or something when I am only tired. For me, I don't think it's a bad thing and maybe it'll keep my eyes hydrated. I just have a lot of explaining to do.

I have the same problem, too. Usually people around me mistake me for crying, and they come to console me. This makes me so embarrassed.

Yes,I usually shed tears very easily.Sometimes I can shed tears to cheat my husband as I like,but not always.Am I a good actor? :) It's said that tears can carry away the dirty and do good to our eyes,especailly when our eyes are dry for using computer so much.I don't know whether it's true but I think it's a good way to express our feelings.

A bit like previous me, but my heart turns harder now. It's really strange that I'm still sensitive to the affecting PC game & TV series & stories I saw a long time ago but not so sensitive to the similar thing I touched recently.

for your information i also have this kind of situation. i shed tears even when i watch movie for so long in my laptop. its not that movie is similar to Sleepless in Seattle , but i keep on 'crying' when in front of laptop for long time. Do you wearing glasses qianyun6? i'm wearing glasses and i think that is my problem because my glasses is kind of lack in absorbing rays from the laptop LCD. i also shed ttears so much after i getting up from bed also when i yawning, and when i open the window. my girlfriend always ask me if i am crying. and i say 'yes, i cry coz i miss u so much' and she always taken by it..hehe

I wear glasses too. My glasses is coated so it can absorb the rays, so I seldom have problems after a long-time watching the screen. I think you can get your glasses coated, it's useful.

Yes same with me. although not so much with laughing, but more of allergy season when I sneeze, or when I am in so much pain.

Oh yes, tear comes very easily for me if I am having a good laugh or yawning because I am tired. I am sure it is a natural occurrence that happens to most people. As for crying, it is not something I do easily. I guess it is because as young lads we were encouraged to hide our tears or we'd be made to feel weak.._Derek

Yes, I do have this habit but only when I am with my parents and things are something which I can't control. I am very much attached to them and attachment is considered a biological system and children are naturally attached to their parents because they are social beings, not just because they need other people to satisfy drives.. whenever we depart for any reason, tears come into my eyes. I love them a lot

i do shed tears easily, i suffer with hayfever, and my eyes stream in the summer, autumn, spring but also in the winter if its too cold. If there is snow on the ground and bright sunlight on the snow, my eyes water constantly with the brightness. I also cry at some films, also when our soldiers are on the tv and they are marching back from Afghanistan or wherever they are stationed. Or when I see the coffins covered with our Union Jack, But its very seldom I turn the waterworks on if someone upsets me.

I think that people who keep their emotions inside can sometimes be apt to let their tears loose. I myself tend to keep everything inside and I think that makes it seem like I am full inside so the tears kinda leak out sometimes watching a movie or in a dream. When you have all those emotions inside you seem to feel things more deeply or maybe I am just more emotional naturally. I can sometimes feel other people's pain and that makes me sad.

I don't think I have ever heard of anyone shedding tears from sneezing though I can attest to it being possible from coughing. Repeated yawning definitely produces involuntary tears.

Well no, Not actually.I dont shed tears that easily. Even if I go through alot or even if am being hurted like hell,I'm just able to control my tears at times. But that doesn't mean I dont cry, I do but not much easily. ofcourse I am not confusing the shedding tears with crying, But for me shedding tears only means crying. I dont shed tears otherwise,when I'm doing things like laughing , yawning etc. So I guess i dont shed tears easily.

I easily shed tears. I am proud it, I have never been ashamed of it. I do have lots of morning stars because of it.

Yes! I have very "wet" eyes! If it's too bright outside or even windy, my eyes start running like crazy and I hate that. I am also a figure skater, and when I skate, it's like cold wind as I speed by and my eyes get teary too. Not to mention when that happens, my make up starts running into my eyes and then the tear up more because it's irritated. It's very annoying. I heard that if I should ever need to wear contacts, these wet eyes are the perfect candidate for contacts (but I don't need glasses, so I don't care). All I can do is remember to have a tissue or napkin handy . . . or at least a long sleeve.

yes, I can easily shed tears especially when I watch Tv Episode of a story about a grandson and his grandparents. I cant control this thing thing to happen. I guess my emotion is very high to the points that I end up shedding tears in an instant.

If that is what you are trying to say maybe you have a glaucoma or have dry eyes.

Wow, what you said is too terrible. My eye pressure is normal, so I don't have glaucoma. but maybe my eyes are a bit dry.
