I had a weird thing happen that kind of fucked me up. I haven’t cried or been able to cry since. Lost a close relative and I saw another explain what happened (it was particularly sad). When he was explaining he started to begin tearing up but swallowed and stone faced. He finished explaining and I haven’t been able to cry since. For clarity, I’ve never had a problem showing emotions or crying. I used to cry at inspirational stuff or sad stuff. Its been around six months now. So when’s the last time you cried? Maybe hearing some stuff will loosen me up.
I don’t think I have cried for my own sake in a decade at this point, just can’t. I cry at sad or emotional scenes in media and for other people, but can’t do it for my own stuff. Haven’t cried when my grandparents died, although I loved them both, or when our family dog had to be put down.
I didn’t cry when I found out that my grandparents died, but once people started sharing memories about them at the funerals, I fell apart.
Thats a tough spot to be in.
