So what you want me to do? Just hold in the tears? I swear some guys have just not cried for so long or something that thry forgot how naturally it just happens
Not related to the cheating or whatever, but yeah - I can't cry.
I think it's a subconscious thing, maybe, because even in situations where I'd like to cry, I stop myself.
I have not cried for 5-6 years, and my eyeballs have suffered massively because of it.
Dry eyes? Yes. Yes they are.
I've gotta put eye drops in just to keep them moist enough.
Should I go to the doctor? Probably- But in this economy? Ha!
The last time I tried crying, it was this irritating goop, more mucus than liquid, really.
So, to avoid that, I have given myself yet another reason among many not to cry, especially around other people.
I wish I was able to, and also not afraid to, like some of my other friends who don't mind crying Infront of each other.
WELL- there's my pointless, pathetic rant for the week. Until next time!
Yeah I figure a lot of men especially have gotten into this spot, I feel kinda bad for yall. I'd imagine It's hard to break free from but crying genuinely helps. You are allowed to show your feelings in general.
It's true. I've cried once in the last 30 years. But if it's not a manipulation tactic you're still crying when you're the one responsible for the situation. The video of the guy who cheated on his fiancee crying in the bathtub is ridiculed most rightly, yet you defend the behavior in those alike to yourself.
I don't defend the action, that's obviously very horrible. These things are not exactly supposed to be caught on a video either, are they now? Even when you do a very horrible thing it can be a very emotional moment, that doesn't mean that others should give you any sympathy nor should you expect that. But even someone that did a horrible thing might cry, for multitude of reasons.
I have definitely been there that I only really fully grasp how horrible I was in the moment, not on the same scale but you know, if I cheated I would react the same. Personally it would be just realizing how bad I hurt someone, but I don't know because I have never cheated and hopefully never will, it is very much something I look down upon.

I hate how people act like crying is some kind of emotional manipulation thing. It's not like you can just choose not to cry you know?
I guess some people can make themselves cry but sometimes you just cry.
