I hadn't cried in 7 years and decided to do some emotional exercises to make myself cry. So I managed to cry about 4 months ago, haven't been able to since even with my grandmothers death. Might start trying again.

Two nights ago at the end of Man on the Moon. Andy Kaufman was such a treasure and Jim Carey really worked hard to pay tribute to him. It’s tragic that Andy’s life ended so young. He was really special.

About a year ago. One of my best and closest friends died. It didn't hit me right away. Took almost two months. Hadn't cried for maybe 4 years before that?

I used to cry a lot and wish I cried more now. Last time I cried, and it was multiple times, was while listening to the narrated visual novel South Scrimshaw. If Pixar movies make you cry then I guarantee you this will. It excels in the same areas combining great world building, fantastical visuals, and a personal connection. However it does so with a completely different art style and completely different vibes, it's essentially an observational nature documentary.

I’m at a wedding - I’ve been happy crying throughout the night. But I’m an emotional guy - I can cry to xfactor videos or those homecoming compilations. I’m an easy target, but I love to cry. It clears out the system.

It's not hard for me to cry because of a TV show, but for personal reasons I probably haven't cried in 4 years at least, probably more but idk.

The last time I cried out of emotions was when watching a game that you play by blinking. I don't remember the name, but it was emotional, and I couldn't help crying. Yeah, lame, I know.

The ending to Clerks III. I haven't cried like that in ages!

[–] set_secret@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I cry at least every few days.

Dude anytime I watch something sad I cry.

"Ahh, just an episode of something before I got to bed," I innocently say to myself

Don't really remember

Outside of crying because of physical pain (chronic pain sucks), 6 years ago was the last time. I don't know exactly why, it's just doesn't happen, even if I'm feeling really bad.

I like that exercise actors do where they watch a clip that made them cry in the past. That scene whwre Dr. Gregory House indirectly saves the quadraplegic with single shot of cortisol gets me every time. Such a soft spot for those who heal and are healed.

Such a soft spot for those who heal and are healed, particularly so when both can transcend their own pain in the process.
