When was the last time you cried?

Question

When was the last time you cried and did that situation make you stronger? The last time I cried was when my step dad grabbed my puppy by the back of the neck took him out side and shot him in the face. Then he told me that I would be next if I didn't do my homework right. That was when I was 7 years old. And ever since then I told myself that I would not let what people say or do to me affect me. I created my own sort of mental block in that category. Maybe that's why I come off as being somewhat cold, blunt, uncaring. But as for you what was your situation?

Answer 1

I don't know... it's been a while.  Probably when my grandfather died.

Answer 2

I just looked at your 360 profile and wept tears of joy.

Answer 3

December 25th 1997. My parents where going through a divorce so money was tight. My mom mostly relied on the Church's charity program and stuff. But because I have a borderline uni-s*x type name they gave me girl stuff..

    So pretty much got nothing. A Part of my mind tells me I am being materialistic, but the humility, disappointment left a deep sting. That is the last time I remembered really crying.

I am not gifted with the ability to block out memories or to reduce there impact. When I recall my memories I feel the same or similar emotion as I felt at the time the memory was created. Time doesn't dilute them.

         I think it only has made me better at hiding and suppressing my emotions. I wouldn't call that being stronger.

Combined with other disappointments over the years I do not like holidays or my birthday. For the most part I would rather just sleep through them.

(don't read too deeply into it. My dislike of feminist ideology didn't form until April June- of 2007. Ironically I took a gender,ethnic study course and dug into it to find the facts)

Then again it was a tough year. Alot of things happened probably just the straw that broke the camel's back...

Answer 4

It was about 6 years ago when one of my cats died.  No it really didn't make me stronger, it was just a release.  I hardly ever cry.

Answer 5

hey, would share a story. hope u won't mind.  i was there too, but on cats. once i was a loser, sober, passive, i didn't have many friends (friends were losers too), i was bullied by strong girls (plus this pretty face that enhanced more of their jealousy),  family ignore me (of the unbright personality), so those cats were the only ones  I had. but my family seems to always throw them away, give them to people whenever my love to those cats had highly blossomed. through many sobs, sadness, despair and darkness, my focus had eventually shifted from "love and cats" to "find a victory". with high hatred, I sorta create my own sort of mental block too, but more for satisfy this hunger : "POWER". apart of the failures and stupidity results from impatience, ways to victory were also getting clearer. things were tough though, especially with all the hatred that you have, you'd just wanted to rebel through drugs, clubs and get some jerk hot gangsta to show off to your family. but maybe God loves me that it didn't happen that way, leaving all the hatred only kept in this heart. cold, blunt, uncaring...oh yeah, been there. things were crazy, and nothing had really completed me till i reverted. then finally I knew only God that truly loves me, not for looks or personality but heart. that was also the moment i could strive rightfully in building strength and empowerment (patience, systematic, etc. + unfeminism method). From there, my life improved tremendously, even more.   passive to active, weak to strong, coward to courageous, bullied to leader (but not bully), sober to happy........that now i got everyone to like me. the best thing about life's like this is the ability to detect hypocrisy; happens in family too, huh? nah, let them be for as long as I'd be able to get closer to God, that would suffice. cries had made me weaker, but it had made me stronger too,depends on the step I chose to take after each cries. however, i believed that yours were tougher, for a father saying "you'll be the next if.." after a gunshot on a puppy (!!? -gosh it wasn't a doggg?) - girl, be strong. we're all in this and hatred had never been the Best Answer.

speaking of latest cry, it was few hours ago. a cry of longing for God's love. it made me even more tougher, and happier.

edit: uhm, ever consider pic change?  you'll look gorgeous in descent threads. casuals would do.

Answer 6

November 11, 2003, when Hooche ,my big red nose Pit died at 12 of cancer.

I did all I could for him ,but his time was up.

It didn't make me any stronger. I've had dogs since I was a boy and know they have to go sometime, but that does not lessen the loss.

Hooche was a good boy.

Your step dad sounds like one sick b*****d, he'd be pushing daisys if I saw him kill a pup,

Even if it was intended to teach you a lesson, that's just sick,cruel.

Answer 7

Yesterday, because of something I did to someone else which was real crappy.

Don't cry often.

Answer 8

Last week, because my grandmother went on one of her guilt trips again. When she cries, so does everyone else.

Answer 9

today... but only because i was watching Titanic... and i only halfway cried, but other than that idk...

Answer 10

I always cry at night...I don't know if it makes me stronger. I know that it makes me realize that my situation isn't getting better. My crying makes me realize that I need to change. Sometimes my tears are out of fear of being happy.....Being scared of succeeding

Answer 11

Last week. I cried like a big baby b/c I'm stupid and let something little hurt my feelings. I usually don't cry. I'm blaming it on stress, hormones and lack of sleep. Crying doesn't really serve any purpose other than to make speckles on your glasses.

Answer 12

ummmm.... not sure....I think it was around the time that I found out that my 13 year old brother's best friend was killed in a car accident.....I cried so much....I still cry think about it....his older sister is my best friend. I want to cry seeing my little brother....I can't imagine how he is feeling spending the summer without his best friend. At 13, your best friend is your life!

EDIT @ Rebel Man: LOL! You and your cats!

Answer 13

The last time I cried that I can remember was about a week ago. I believe not crying makes you stronger but also a lot colder to other peoples pain. I know, trust me.

Answer 14

when my dad yells at me.  he brutally yells at me.  i'm 13.  i know he has mental issues and cant help it.  but it makes me feel do horrible and i break into tears.  its happened twice today.  i dont think men need to seem like there all tough and cant cry.  it  can be a good thing.   i find it to relieve stress.  but i still dont like the horrible sad feeling.

Answer 15

aww, that must have been terrible for you, that one of the reasons i dont like animals all too much. i had tis cat ever since was like 5, and when i was 11 it died, i never really liked it much, but when i came home i always expected it to be there, and it wasn't. i cant remember the last time i cried. i think it was a few months ago, there is this girl and i gave her h**l, and she was talking to me about it and i just burst out crying cuz i felt like such a terrible person.
