Am I too sensitive? I usually tend to cry alot.?

Question

Everytime I see a sad movie, or hear a sad song, I cry hysterically, then I would have nightmares about that movie and I would wake up screaming, crying, and flailing, with my face all red and teary. The really sad ones that I really do cry about is Titanic, The September 11 movie from 2 years ago, Old Yeller, A Walk To Remember, and The Notebook. Recently, I saw old yeller at my friends house and I cried like a baby, and I even had a nightmare last night that I had to shoot the poor dog and it was so bloody and everything, I had blood all over myself, omg, i do not want to describe anymore. Also about the Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees movies, they don't make me cry, but I would have nightmares about them too, most likely I would have dreams about Freddy chasing me and then killing me with his knive gloves, and I woke up crying, and then I couldn't even leave my room for about 12 minutes, because I really thought I died. My 12 year old cousin from another state doesn't cry when he sees sad movies and his mom yells at him saying that he should cry while seeing the movie because it's sad, but I think my aunt is being cruel to him. So am I just too sensitive or what? Should I see someone to talk to me about my recurring nightmares about Freddy?

Answer 1

I used to be the same way when I was younger.  I wouldn't cry, but some movies would just emotionally disturb me.  That's why I stay away from drama and depressing movies.  Since I have depression and OCD, watching drama sappy movies would only make my disorders worse.  Plus I'm a very serious person that takes life too seriously.  So that's why I stick with movies that are purely comedy, and some action packed here and there.  My friend and I avoid drama flicks like the plague, cause they will make us depressed.  We watch alot of sick, twisted bulls**t comedy movies like:

-Knocked Up

-Strange Wilderness

-40 Year Old Virgin

-Van Wilder

-Superbad

-Waiting

-Delta Farce

-Super Troopers

-Harold and Kumar--both movies are hilarious

My friend and I laugh every time and watch these movies over and over again--we just can't seem to get enough of them, we laugh till our stomachs hurt; LOL.  So, all you need is some good comedy, with sick and twisted laughs.  If that doesn't work, try getting some counseling. Hope you feel better.

Answer 2

omg im the same way

Answer 3

Yep, u are just hypersensitive... Just try to remember in your dreams that he can't hurt you. Just keep thinking that over & over when you go to sleep, eventually you will remember it in your dream.  

You may grow out of it after a while. I know, I used to be like that, but I eventually saw almost every sad & scary movie out there... Now, there's no movies that really scare me anymore and only a handful that make me cry.

Answer 4

I'm a guy and I cry at movies too. It's embarrassing to be a grown man and walking out of a theater blubbering like a baby. Movies don't give me nightmares, I guess you're just very sensitive. There's nothing wrong with that. Maybe just stay away from scary movies or overly dramatic chick flicks. That only leaves the comedies I guess.

Maybe you'll get over it someday. If Freddy is messing up your life then definitely see a prof. it probably wouldn't take a lot of therapy.

Answer 5

Ya you're to sensitive.  Guys tend not to cry at fictional stories because they aren't real and we don't care that much.

Answer 6

wow, you're sensitive.. sounds scary but its okay. dreams actually never let you die which is the cool thing. :]

i'm extremely emotional, i cry everyday for one reason or another basically because i've been mentally abused. thats just how i am though, i can't get over it.

Answer 7

Yeah, you're sensitive. That's ok.

Answer 8

I don't have nightmares, but I cry a lot.  

I cry at the end of lots of movies.

I cried at the end of Gone With the Wind because I wanted 4 hours of my life back.

but yeah, I know i'm too sensitive.
