I SO WISH I wasn''t an emotional person. Most of the problems I''ve ever had were a result of my emotions. It''s really annoying.

And the worst thing is, I don''t cry so much from being sad, but when I get ANGRY, my body''s first natural reaction is to cry. And I absolutely cannot control it. Not even a little bit, and I''ve never been able to. So naturally I enjoy a good cry to get it out of my system, but ONLY when I''m alone. I hate crying in front of people, it''s so embarrassing.


As far as reading books and watching movies to make me cry on purpose? HECK NO! If it''s for my own entertainment, I''d rather laugh than cry thank you very much!

I''m the same way with crying when angry or frustrated. It''s annoying, because I''ll cry when I fight with FF, even though I''m not sad... I''m just angry.

It sucks because people don''t take you as seriously when you''re crying, but it feels like its biological and that I can''t control it.

I can''t remember the last time I had a "good" cry...I am not emotional in serious/stressful situations (those where you experience the adrenaline rush) but reading Hallmark cards or being "scolded" by my boss can make me tear up. I used to cry every day before I left my marriage, tears of utter hopelessness, and I think I got it all out then because I can never think of anything sad enough to make me cry that hard anymore! I have definitely shed a few tears of happiness/joy/hopefullness over the past year, so I''ll take it.
