    Everyone is sensitive or more stronghold against different things and along with the variable of you having a bad day and already being under stress, or being able to first hand understand the pain on a certain level, what are some things that 'set you off' or even make you cry?

    For me, anything deeply graphic in a realistic tone and setting, especially famine, war, abuse, and a range of other brutalities. Specifically, caused by humans unto other humans.
    It makes me pretty upset, and ashamed that people can do that to their own kind. And then that guides me to believe that those are no longer humans, but lesser beings that belong in a lesser world below, like hell or worse, where monsters belong.

    ANYWAY, also animals. Just seeing those sad little commercials on TV about the animals in shelters not being adopted makes my heartache. A dream of mine is where I'm pretty old, around the end of my lifetime, I want to spend savings on all the old and unwanted animals left in shelters, and just spoil them rotten because they deserve love. :blob_catflip:

    And I did cry over a lost sock once, but I may have been under the influence of...something at the time, so I don't think that counts. :blobsweat_2:
    In my defence, it was a nice sock. Had little llamas all over it. Tsk.

    I cry over too many random things to categorize them, but watching children or animals suffer makes me cry often.

    for the sake of a fact- did you know, tears you cry and tears caused by unblinking, staring at lights, or other things, aren't salty? :}
    'Crying' over onion, or 'reactive tears' are just tasteless tears caused by different sources (light, no blinking, oniln, dust in eyes), and they're pretty much salt-less.
    Emotional tears, like form crying, being overjoyed, etc. These ones are the salty ones, when crying your eyes out, you can usually taste it.
    I didn't know this until a while back so I wanted to share it, cause I think it's pretty interesting :blobReach:


    edit: "Oniln" I'm not fixing it become of my shet sense of humour, and find Oniln funny.

    The last time I cried in public was when I got slapped by a female friend of mine in public at the amusement park during our field trip. Literally everyone was looking at us during that time as the fireworks lit up the sky. It was closing time back then. I went to the bus with my face having a red handprint on it and my eyes swollen red.

    I was a 7th grader at that time. It was very funny whenever I try to remember the panic on her face after she slapped me lol.

    Yeah, I’ve cried in public. I think the most embarrassing time I cried was actually triggered by random bullying in 7th grade. I’d been harboring for a few years some pretty upset feelings over how my relationship with a friend ended at my previous school, but I mostly had it under control. Someone wrote “sex bitch” on my locker and while I was confused why anyone would do that, I didn’t feel hurt by it. But a counselor was brought in to lecture the class (maybe grade?) about bullying and those feelings about my friend somehow randomly got triggered and I started crying in front of everyone. Now that I think back on it, maybe I should have gotten therapy for my feelings back then. :blobexpressionless: And no, I never found out who wrote on my locker. The handwriting reminded me a bit like my crush at that time, but he was out sick, so it probably wasn’t him. I never really cared about finding out.

    Normally, I’ll cry when I get too upset or frustrated or overwhelmed, or when I watch or read something sad. But it depends a good deal on what it is. I can be pretty cold hearted towards things that make other people cry. I used to cry a lot when I was younger, and I don’t cry much as an adult, but I think that’s because I’ve suppressed my reactions a fair amount, because I’ve always considered my crying embarrassing and shameful, even though, as an adult, I know that they’re a healthy expression of my feelings. But there’s really no turning back on a lifetime of trying to suppress them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I get emotional over the smallest things but hey at least I make sure to cry in a place I wouldn't be seen most of the times. I'm pretty much the type to hold it all in only to cry it all out later lol. Words I never expected to hear from people make me cry the most.

    I’m a little bit, um, emotionally stiff in real life, so I often go way longer than healthy before crying. Of course, the thing that sets me off after not crying for a long time is always something ridiculous like forgetting my ID at home :blobwoah:
