No, I don't.
In fact, I haven't cried since I was 8 years old.
I think it's quite sad that I can't cry, but I have no idea why I can't.
It's not a masculinity-thing, I just don't experience great amounts of sadness even when horrible things happen.

No. I am only close to crying when I am trembling in despair of something.
Since it only happens at night time, it stops when I am close to my loved ones.

When they go, what the fuck will I do?

Oh, and also beauty / extreme kindness.

Being emotionally dead sure takes the fun out of living.

I get this urge all the time, as well at the urge to giggle uncontrollably or destroy things in a fit of rage. Then again, I have major mood swings that are somewhere nearing hypomania.

I recommend flaxseed. It helps with mood swings :)

You might be depressed. Ever heard of dysthymia? It's where you're in a state of mild to moderate depression for years at a time. I had this when I was a teenager, and because I was so used to being in that state, I had no idea I was suffering from depression. I thought everyone felt the way I did. The emergence of crying spells could be a sign that the depression is worsening. I would recommend going to see your doctor. They have a nifty test they use to decide if someone is depressed. It might be nothing, but better safe than sorry.

It's not really a Random urges to cry but sometimes I do some... er... "crying therapy".

Without being emotionally dead, I'm not the type to let out negative feelings out (when I get angry, sad, so on) and usually keep them inside. And as not to go insane while bottling it all up, I occasionally imagine some impossibly sad scenario of some sort to let it all out, sometimes I just happen to stumble on a really sad scene in a movie and voila, mental balance restored for the while. Yeah I know it sounds kind of pathetic...

Yeah, been there and... ummm, I'd guess you are really depressed. I know I was when that happened to me. I did not perceive it as random, cause actually there were some associations coming from the outside world that made me cry very very often (music, objects, random uncontrolled memories). Plus I was very stressed at the time, very very stressed. I think it's not random, but only you know your emotional state.
And friendly advice: *yells at you* do something before it gets worse! Seriously, ask for help, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

I feel this when the subwoofer isn't making wierd noises from my dubstep fetish..



I hardly cry, mind, when I do, it's cause something has happened so emotionally extreme I need to let it out.

Who cares if it "de-mans" me, girls still love me and I'm still rspected, I do these moments in private though.

Recently, that's happened to me a lot. I would let it happen, but it's usually in a public place, so not really appropriate.
