Re: Are you a crier?

I cry every time a friend or relative is called to GLORY.

THe finale of "It's a wonderful Life". ditto God father3
and too many others to list.


I was a stiff upper lip until my father died & all the hurts from the previous 50 years came out.

Re: Are you a crier?

I usually shed a few drops at funerals, depending on how close the diseased was to me but never openly weep, the face I put on specially for such occasions always conveys the right message, it's enough to make satan weep. I honestly cannot remember when I really had a proper cry, I am fairly emotional and not in the least bit hard hearted, but I just don't see the point of crying, it doesn't help the situation and it's contagious once someone starts off. I hate to see children crying, it's very genuine because they have no other means of showing their sorrow. I think if anything bad happened to the wife, that would probably do it for me.

Re: Are you a crier?

I get very emotional for all sorts of reasons but don't let it show, I wait until I get to bed and cry into my pillow.

Strangely, at funerals and other emotional events, I hold them back. Even weepy films.

@Jem "but I just don't see the point of crying,"

Neither do I Jem, it just happens and I doubt that many of us can 'control' what surely is an automatic response to certain events, news, sounds etc I wish I could as the fact that I can burst into tears when I'm deliriously happy is just so silly

Re: Are you a crier?

One of my favourites of hers. Made me more than a little choked when I heard she had died. I rarely have a good cry though.

Re: Are you a crier?

Listen to this song carefully, it always gets to me.

Daddy don't you walk so fast

Re: Are you a crier?

Hi Meg, I can't watch films about animals who get into trouble, my biggest one was Lassie, Black Beauty and Born Free, I cried my eyes out. If the news comes on about someone beating up a dog or cat, I have to turn to TV off as it upsets me too much. I also cry sometimes about my Mum who has now got Dementhia, it's very sad, otherwise, i'm quite a strong person.

Re: Are you a crier?

I too find myself crying a lot more now that I am getting a bit older.
Watching animal programmes, someone singing a song with beautiful wording, and funnily enough if for some reason something makes me laugh out loud which doesent happen that often I find myself going from laughing to crying.
Soppy I know

Re: Are you a crier?

This song will set me off each time as I had a dog called tigue

Also people winning large sums of money on quiz shows or other happy moments will set me off just by seeing the emotuion on their faces

Re: Are you a crier?

Me too. In fact any animal suffering and I have to turn away or turn the TV off. Which makes Attenborough's documentaries a bit difficult at times
