    Better to cry at insignificant things than be dead inside.

  • No, everyone is affected differently by different events. Even things that you yourself would also consider insignificant in hindsight can cause a sudden outburst of emotion if you’re already in a negative mental state for other reasons (i.e. you probably didn’t cry because of this small thing, it was just barely enough to push you over the limit)

    No, your emotions are your own and you can’t alway control them. And no matter how small your problems seem compared to the huge struggles/suffering of others, they are still real problems to you. And that can be hard.

    BUT, if you start crying over a lot of small or nonsensical things, it might be good to look for underlying issues. Someone I know had a burn out recently and she said she only realized it because she started crying about really small things. Like, opening the food drawer at home and crying because you can’t choose anything. Or finding out they don’t have the pack of crackers you need at the store and crying in the middle of the store.

    So no, crying over small things is not bad. But if you cry over small things over and over again, you might want to see what’s really happening.

    Spilled milk, unless it’s your last cup of milk, then a cry is acceptable. Lol jokes aside tho:idk about everyone else but life has been very tough in 2022, so individual events don’t make me cry, it’s more of understanding the fact that things are piling up that makes me cry. I.E, Disease in the family followed by Death in the family later followed by another disease in the family. One of those events will make me cry at the moment, but once things pile up, it seems like those stressors are always with me and any very inconvenient situation can add up with those other feelings and make me well up, even if dropping my creatine wouldn’t make me cry usually, it may make me cry when I have a lot on my plate figuratively speaking. Short answer:nothing is too small to cry over bc tbh it’s never the only thing making you cry, there are a lot of other reasons at play for why you feel the need to cry than just the spilled milk.

    No, absolutely not. Everyone has a #1 problem and everyone is affected by them differently.

    Emotions are okay to feel. They’re supposed to be there, they’re valid, and they make you human

    Absolutely not comrade, life is a series of challenges, and everyone is facing different ones. No problem is insignificant, especially of the social, physical, or mental variety.

    Sometimes the weight of all the big things finally comes crashing down due to a small thing. Because of my joint problems, sometimes it’s very difficult to get my shoes on or untie them. That moment when for the 3rd or 4th time, my shoe’s heel folds in on itself and I can’t dig it out, when that knot is tied too tightly and I just fuck it up even more, that’s when it’s time for me to break down. Once had a manic episode due to this and went for a barefoot walk in shorts in 15F weather.

    I got some crocs. No more crying over shoes 😅

    I literally cry if I watch something touching in a video game cinema scene. Shit there are times when I tear up on here just shit posting with comrades cause it makes me so happy idk how else to express it. Crying isn’t bad. It’s a healthy outlet of emotion. Both good and bad emotion. I know a hard ass boomer I used to work with, kind of an asshole and all boomer, and he used to be suicidal and says after therapy he sits back and cry’s a little bit every single day.

    I also cry whenever I watch anything even remotely creepy. Like I fucking love some good creepy movies. Not jump scare stuff but really demonic creepy kind of movies. Yet it’s like a natural response tears just start pouring out while I’m completely absorbed into the movie. I guess that’s just how my body and brain react to that shit. Honestly I kind of hate that part cause it makes everyone think I’m a little wimp but like I really like those movies and it’s not so much fear as it is maybe excitement? I also will tear up if I get excited… Or if I get super fucking angry… Shit I’m starting to realize I apparently cry and fucking lot. Lmao
