Psh, amateurs. I come from a family of criers. We all hate that we get moved super easily, but we fucking cry when anything emotional happens. Men and women. We are all equal here.

Sad movie? We cry. Beautiful music? We cry. A nice sunset? Yep. We cry. So fucking annoying, but what can you do?

I genuinely thought there was something wrong with my boyfriend when I discovered that he isn't a crier and can sit through a sad movie without showing emotion. I'm a bit jealous, ngl.

Aawww, your pookie bear isn't sensitive enough?
Gonna cry about it?

I wonder how freaked out he was at the beginning seeing the whole family cry hah

Reminder to de-stigmatize mental health issues also for men.

Switch mom and dad and this was my house growing up. My dad routinely cried watching the news. It was wild to start dating and I had to learn that most men arent free with their emotions. My husband is a crier too. It's nice, we like not guessing each others feelings.

I cry during sad movies. Fight me about it, bro.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

I cry when people hit me too hard. So, no.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 14 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

I cry during happy movies, even. Whenever there's any type of strong emotions I'm fighting back tears.

I cry when the wind hits my face 😭

I cry during the charge of the Rohirrim in Return if the King. It's weird but its so emotionally charged fot me I just can't hold it. The horn blowing that announces their arrival on Pelenor fields announces my tears as well.

I cry at EVERYTHING. It's honestly a little ridiculous. Especially if it is about a dog or if weirdos are nice to each other.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

I find myself getting choked up often when there are powerful emotions on display. Sadness, joy, and even things like bravery. Dunno why, but I do. So did my Dad. Maybe it’s genetic.

I don't think I've ever seen my mom cry, except for the one time she dropped a metal hanger in her eye, and at my grandpa's funeral (though she claims she cries all the time). I've seen my dad cry a decent amount. My grandma bottles more than a winery. My grandpa cried on occasion. We're backwards from the stereotype. It's weird.

Well shit. Eye didn't see that one coming. All good now (I hope)?

Is your username a piano keyboard?

I never thought of that. It does look like a piano. If it is, its purely by coincidence.

[–] CaptainPedantic@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yup, her eye is all good, thankfully.

Okay good. I feel less horrible about such a shitty joke.

Not everyone is as suspectible to crying though and that's fine

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 hours ago

Ah, the american healthcare system is to blame! /s

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 28 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

100% but we shield it from our kids so they don't worry because, to be honest, the meme is unfortunately accurate and their mental health (and joy, more to the point) is my top priority.

Edit: context dependent. I won't avoid a cry in front of them at my mother's funeral if I feel the need. My dad passed before their time.

[–] AZX3RIC@lemmy.world 24 points 15 hours ago

I've told my kid, when we've taken him to the hospital, don't worry about your mother, look at me. If I'm good, you're good.

[–] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah... No. I'd definitely prefer to see my kid cry than bottle my emotions up to lash out later

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 25 minutes ago

You could always act strong for the kid and share the issues with your partner, friends etc. Not crying in front of your kid doesn't mean you aren't dealing with the emotions or the issues that cause it
