I am an extremely sensitive and emotional person and if people tell me their woes tears will well in my eyes and I will have to try and control them.As for me actually crying I have been forced to hold those emotions in and the only times I have been brought to tears recently is over the frustration of not seeing my children after a messy divorce. It is so painful I push down those tears every day as I miss them so very very much.I saw my ex cry once and that was over someone chasing him for money....that what type of person he was and had no effect on him if i cried so I got used to holding it in.

I cry a bit, a touching advert, during the Olympics as someone sings the anthem as they accept their gold medal, if a friend tells me about their troubles and they have tears in their eyes, reading people's heart breaking experiences here and on FB, over a friend that I miss. Sometimes because I don't want to die alone. The list goes on and on. That sounds like I am a sooky la la but I am not. Well I don't think so. I suppose I don't have to feel overwhelmed to cry. Got tears in my eyes now thinking about the reasons why I cry. Lol pathetic. I cry cause I am happy for someone else, I cry when I am sad for someone else and sometimes I just cry cause I have my period. ⊂(◉‿◉)つ

However NYC on the morning of September 12 2001............when we allfinally tore outselves away from the TV screens where the horror was now on repeat....and walked the 6kms to where it had all happened..shaking our heads and wondering how in the hell did it come to this...?? Ive seen many things in my life, much death and devastation but this was different...and for the first time in my life I did not feel safe .I felt vunerable and alone in a city of nearly 14 million.....I cant accurately describe all that I witnessed that day, but I do recall the smell and the sounds and the complete feeling of helplessness and despair..when we all realised that it was no longer really going to be a rescue mission (although thank god people were still found alive in the rubble) but it was now a recovery mission which I worked... That nite...after working almost 17 hours in indescribable conditions..kind volunteers offered us food and water from the nearby church (St Pauls Chapel of Trinity) -... to escape it all for a few minutes.. I went inside this small church..it was cool and inviting...(and no small feat as Im Jewish) I just sat in a pew...reflected..closed my eyes and totally lost it...sob upon sob upon sob..cause it just so wasnt fair and so pointless and so so wrong..and I realised then how hopeless it all was A lovely man came by...he could have been a priest..I still dont know......he was dressed in civilian clothing..he just held me, said nothing..let me go on ...blubbing, dried my eyes with the end of his Tshirt...told me I had a job to do ..and go do it... May I never ever again experience emotionally all that I did that day and the days after...

Saddest,Driving to work in the morning and hearing on the radio two guys I know from Uni died canyoning in the Blue Mountains. One died trying to save the other.HappiestAm with HT and birth of my 3 kids. All the births were special but one of them was born at home, just me and the ex (nurse) telling me what to do. Was pretty surreal once I had a chance to take it all in after being #$%^ scared running on adrenaline.

seem to cry when something is really serious ,I seem to cry at the most trivial of things.I think sometimes I am just too shocked to cry.But a tear jerker film,I will cry at,and award ceremonies choke me up.I rarely sob, it is more just a hiccuping drizzle. Other people crying will set me off,same with laughter,I don't need to know the reason ,I just join in. But some days I am just a limbic mess for no apperent reason....sad really.

Agree with OP - when my daughter was born the tears of joy is hard to replace. When my son was born 4 years after he got stuck on the way and had no heartbeat and wasn't breathing. My partner at the time was so out of it with painkillers so didn't really know what was going on but when I saw my boy come out blue and lifeless I can hardly describe the panic I felt. And omg watching the doctors doing CPR on him was gut wrenching. Luckily they were able to revive him after some time. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack right there and then!

I am a very emotional person as well and I have cried over many issues and will continue to do so. Our neighbours two cats, mother and daughter live with us. In july the RSPCA had to put the mother down due to age and injuries sustained over a number of years. We love those cats and I cried at her sudden and unexpected loss and for her daughter who fretted for a number of weeks. She is fine now. If that is a sign of weaness, so be it. None of us is perfect, we all have our faults and weaknesses. Too many people in this world are too busy criticising other people for their faults and weaknesses insted of doing something constructive and correcting their own.

The last time I really cried was two weeks ago, when a lovely 31 year-old woman I worked with died in hospital, leaving behind her boyfriend and baby daughter. I visited her just before she passed away, and seeing her little girl's photo on her night stand sent me over the edge. Usually things like commercials, movie scenes or songs will have me tear up. And animated movies with animals in them. They will usually have me bawling. That's enouh now.

I truly don't understand why it is necessary for everyone to have guns. But that is whole other discussion. It indeed is utterly heartbreaking and devastating thing which has happened. Unimaginable. I haven't read yet why he did it but obviously a very troubled man. Yes, I think gun laws should be reviewed but don't be ashamed to be a American. xx

If you had asked me before this past January what made me cry..... I would have said, not much - sure i've expereinced pain - My brother was almost killed in a car crash and spent 4 months in a coma, i've expereinced deaths of people i've loved, i've lost everything i owned in a fire.......all have made me stronger in one way or another. This past 12 months has been a direct contrast - i feel i've used up every damn tear i have! People in all walks of my life have seen me breakdown and cry over a variety of things - deaths, illness, marriage breakdowns, court cases, financial stresses 2012 set some new standards as to how much i could deal with - if i was strong before, i'm scary now!

Im just so pissed off watching this unfold this morning...as I said I strongly believe in our Constititution - its what my Da and brother fought in wars for...but to see it manipulated and used AGAIN in this way...seriously !!! Im so angry rite now....and even though this has sadly happened before..this one has upset me..really upset me..I cant believe how teary I am..cause Im not a crier...not at all. I dont even have kids (but my bestie has 2 little ones...and I kinda partial to the them, evil as they are !!! ....see FB page for explanation on that one.. rite MssSassy M . :) ) its the kids death that has really upset me... I understand when one is jacked off with the fucking world..we have all been there and you decide to take out your family and girlfriend, yourself etc..(god at times I feel like taking out a few people too) .......but one has to wonder, what the fuck is going down when you systematically gun down little tiny children unknown to you ???....WTF ??? Sorry to rant...and hijack thread and thankyou for letting me.............logic says that guns dont kill, people do and this could have happened in any country..but today....I am ashamed of my country........for the selling of legal guns..yes we do need to review the whole situation. May there be some comfort, somewhere, somehow in all of this..............................................I just dont know how that even begins.. God Bless America - yeah sure...................................just not today....

While I'm not a fan of the U.S. I think, Shinasbabe, that you're being too critical of your country in this case but that's still very comendable of you. In this country, you have to jump through hoops to own a firearm legally and yet armed crime is on the increase. It's far easier to get a gun illegally. If someone is intent on committing such atrocities they will attain their guns one way or another, the U.S. constitution can't be held responsible for this insanity and I very much doubt that anyone witnessing the reports are saying, "Bloody yanks." Nationality doesn't come into it. It was senseless in any language and we can only feel compassion for the families effected.

Cause the world just feels a little bit more fucked today . The time to discuss Gun laws should have been yesterday not today. I post this as me and the bestie have taken her two littles ones age 5 and 6 in to watch the Xmas pageant in Perth CBD . We are very aware of how blessed we are to be able to do so To my fellow countrymen who are suffering rite now ....my thoughts are with you - Posted from rhpmobile

I assumed that, as the reports of driveby shootings appears to be on the rise, that more stringent gun laws in Australia had little effect. A report from the New York Times indicates that the laws have been beneficial. "In the 18 years before the law, Australia suffered 13 mass shootings - but not one in the 14 years after the law took full effect. The murder rate with firearms has dropped by more than 40 percent, according to data compiled by the Harvard Injury Control Resrarch Center, and the suicide rate with firearms has dropped by more than half."

Nationality sort of comes into it, simply because the Americans have so much pride in their constitution (I think that's right) the wars that have been fought to protect their constitution resulting in a resilience to change that most likely will never be broken.

I cry often. Not that I want to and there are times when it realy pisses me off. I never used to be this way but I just can not help it. Ads on TV can set me off let alone some of the more serious shit that life throws at me.

Many years ago, a little boy of just seven years old became one of my heroes, faced with a challenge that I would never wish on another of any age. His tiny little eyes locked into my and in the course of about an hour achieved something together that would have been impossible alone. Once it was over, his eyes back in mine he whispered... 'May I cry now, sir'. I scuffled the hair on his head and just held him as whispered back a tearful...'Yes''. As we both cried, we made a promise to each other that to this day we share only with each other and keep flawlessly with honour.The other, as strange as it may seem was on of my dogs, one of several and singular companions over the years. One lost his life protecting both myself and others from eminent harm and the threat of danger. A few random pictures and his ashes are in my private study where, if I pause too long, brings a few tears to my eyes remembering a true friend that brought and gave so much to me.I am not by nature and outwardly emotional person but there are simply those people and times in your life where the courage of others and what they bring to your life bring tears of gratitude. I like those tears.

May I never ever again experience emotionally all that I did that day and the days after... a week after, and I kept up the other end of town. I did however fly over the hole with smoke comming up like a plume of a cigaret with a clear blue sky. I met a lot of people working on that site, firemen, police, doctors but one thing I noticed was the unity and the hope of people. I do not watch tv anymore I just have shed to may tears over the years for things that are out of my control. now i cry with joy when I hear my daughter sing opera I will cry when both my girls move east in a few weeks But I try not to cry to much . I have filled rooms with my tears at times, from other things in my past enough to drown myself. so its my time to shed tears of laughter

Quoting 'Ghostbusters'Does it all indicate though the growth, or lack thereof, in the black market for firearms?? ...but a lot of gun crime is impulse and opportunity. If someone is angry and has access to a firearm, things can get nasty but if they have to acquire one, they will often cool down. The results quoted by Harvard definitely indicate that the laws have been successful in ridding us of mass shootings but I wonder about the other statistics. While murders and suicides by firearm decreased, does this mean that they decreased overall or did the perpetrators simply find another method?

Quoting 'Ghostbusters' That was exactly where I was going with that as well.. If the best weapon someone can get a hold of is a bolt action .22 rifle instead of a large calibre and high magazine capacity semi/automatic weapon then it makes going a rampage way more difficult. Not impossible as they can always find something to use, even if its a knife or hammer if that is someone intent.But yes there is ways and means outside the law. I heard one yarn of an armorer in the Army who got all the parts for an M-16 over a 10-15 year period but wouldn't anyone want to see it made as difficult as possible to have these sort of weapons in the hands of just anyone?
