Do you find yourself crying from time to time?

[EnderJE]

Sometimes, when I see something sad, I try to get myself to cry. However, I haven't been successful so far. I haven't cried since my grandmother died many years ago.

Its like I'm dead inside.

stick a rusty needle in your eye, that may work?

I can't remember the last time I cried. Yet, I have friends that seriously cry on a weekly basis....I find that very hard to understand.

Hell, I cry at commercials. I'm just sensitive that way. I don't cry in front of other people, it's always when I'm alone. Sometimes I've had tears streaming down my cheeks during a movie or for some other reason, but I try to hide it from others.

 

[*MissFit*]

nope

 

[biteme]

I will never shed a tear again over a woman. 10 years of marriage and I never let her see me cry. She divorced me, but she's still jealous of other women. Don't let them see you cry.

 

[SoKlueles]

i cry from time to time, i guess its cuz im sensitive

Yep.

 

[big4life]

I can't stand to see pain and suffering.

I cried for the dogs when my sister left because I knew their life would never be the same. I'm not an animal person.

For some reason this year, I've been crying alot. Maybe its because I'm more comfortable with expressing myself (I was raised to not cry; I was told it was a sign of weakness. So, I always kept it and then explode. Repeat cycle.) I don't know.

I've cried tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears of relief & being free; tears over a movie (The Notebook); tears of love and tears of pain.

 

[EnderJE]

Then, why do you come here?

In the bible, it says that God counts every one of your tears.

 

[ohashi]

I cried three times today, and once more when I saw this thread. I cry when I make dinner, and I cry at work. When I get to school I cry a bit, and then again as the classes end. I also cry when the list is red, because that means "stop"

 

[gonelifting]

Not really "cry" but tear up. My eyes swell up and turn red. Sometimes the tears roll down, but not much.

I did that last night when reading Velvets "poor" thread.

I tear up during Oprah, damnit! Also, Extreme Home Makeover.

 

[Raina]

That's all I did before I was back on meds. I probably cried an hour to four a day through winter and most of spring. Even after I was numbed up a little more though with meds I still was so sad. I've spent the last year constantly proclaiming that I hate my life.

At least to myself. I was still fake on the outside about what was going on.

It wasn't until more recently that I started to actually feel again. For the first time in years. The highs and the lows. But overall my faith makes me hang on. My focus is on what I have and where I'm going instead of the individual moments.

What a blessing it is to be woken up emotionally.

 

[EnderJE]

What a blessing it is to be woken up emotionally.

Or a curse. Being a robot or dead inside isn't all that bad.

 

[Raina]

Pain's part of the game though. I don't resent a minute of it because it's at my lowest points that I grow the most. Sure it sucks in the moment but it always makes me rethink thinks and I rise from the ashes again.

I'd rather truly feel-- highs and lows than live in a grey area.

Today, I prefer the robot. Besides, I can dance great at parties. 80's all the way!

Is the grey area that bad? I've wondered about that. Never getting real high or real low, just staying unattached and kind of comfortably numb.

Agreed.

I have experienced some painful moments this year. Yet, 2005, has been the happiest, most peaceful and honest year of my life. It was the end of a LONG journey and the beginning of a very promising new one.

 

[Raina]

I've lived comfortably numb for so long. I was so fake that I almost believed the lie that was my life. Never again. Give me misery over that BS any day. Life doesn't always have to be perfect but I sure as hell would rather want to live, feel, be real rather than wandering around numb and artificial.

agreed 100% raina. My friend's older brother was one of the smartest in his graduating class. Every one of his friends and relatives told him to go onto college to get a master's degree or doctorate and become some rich scientist or CEO. Instead, he knew he loved teaching more than anything and went to college for his teaching credential and became a teacher. Sure, he isn't making the amount of money he COULD be making, but you should see how happy he is being himself and doing what makes him happy

We are all artificial.

 

[Raina]

I can say with all honesty that if I walk away from my life right now, when from the outside I have "everything", with NOTHING, I'll still be coming out on top.

I'm done with doing things that I don't think are right because they seem like what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm done living to please others. I'm done living a fake life and pretending everything is peachy.

I'll take all the suffering the world has to offer over a "perfect" life that's a lie.

I'm a derelict genius. I think IQ scores are over rated.

Sweet. 2006 will be better for you. Promise.

 

[Raina]

2005 is just fine. There are good parts and bad parts. If the bad parts are the cost of the good ones, all this hurt has and will be a small price to pay.

 

[Fast Twitch Fiber]

I cry on rare occasions. I cried over 9/11. I cried during Saving Private Ryan. I cried when our family cat died.

 

[EnderJE]

I know. But 2006 will be better. You'll meet a man named Morpheus and discover that you are the one.

 

[biteme]

But you didn't cry for those people in New Orleans.

[EnderJE]

Take the red pill right?

Yep, just pay no attention to the Roofies label.
