What do you cry about?

Do you cry about other people's pain or your own pain and trials? Or do you never cry at all? I find I never cry about my own life (which, by all comparative accounts, is not that good). But I never cry over it. I find myself crying about other people's problems/pain. Like the children in Gaza or Syria... or just now, I was watching the Roosevelt documentary and I found myself crying about all the hell that WWII entailed for millions of people. It felt good to cry. But I'm not in touch with my own pain. Maybe I use other people's pain as a cipher for my own.
What about you? |

| I cried reading Charlotte's Web last night. Kid may not realize she died yet because my crying was so distracting! |

I cry when there are situations I can't fix, when I feel helpless or alone.
And I cry when people are unexpectedly nice and warm and helpful. |

| Lately, I cry for the friends and family who have died. I miss them. |

| I very rarely cry. Couldn't even tell you the last time. |

| Usually because I'm feeling sorry for myself or when DH is being an asshole to me. |

Not exactly sure what you mean by not being in touch with your own pain, but it's natural to be touched by others' tragedies. I don't think you're using others' pain to mask your own. But if you feel disconnected maybe get screened for depression.

| I used to just cry when a dude broke my heart. Now that I'm a mother I cry at every single fucking thing in life. |

OMG, me too. I keep hoping I'll regrow some of my previously sturdy skin. I can't even watch the news anymore because it's too much misery. |

Yup. Me too. |

+1. Happy or sad. I am so easily moved to tears by everyday human kindness and cruelty. |

| I cry when someone is extraordinarily kind to someone else, and when I've hurt my kid. I hit her on the mouth with a full water bottle the day after she got braces. It was an accident but I was yelling at her in the moment so it felt to both of us like it was a bit on purpose. |

| I cry when I see children and the defenseless hurt. |
