I've cried a grand total of 7 times since I was 12 years old (now 33).
12 - Dad telling my little sister and I he has cancer. The whole "be the man of the house while I'm gone" speech and everything got to me. The end of any "normal" childhood I might have had.
15 - Get a phone call from Houston, where dad had been for the past two years. Leave BR immediately, doctor tells us he probably won't make it through the weekend. Bawled like a baby. (P.S. Doctor was wrong, he is still with us today)
17 - End of my first real long term relationship. Cried again 3 days later when I accepted it was over.
23 - Lost my grandmother to a heart attack. Completely unexpected and I was visiting my future in laws at the time. I stepped outside their house to take the call and when I heard the news collapsed in their front yard, inconsolable. It was the first time I had lost someone that close to me.
Cried again leaving the funeral home. It was a beautiful and peaceful night in rural north Louisiana, and coupled with the realization she wouldn't be there to talk to anymore, it hit me hard.
Last summer - Lost my grandfather and cried at the funeral home.
It's not that I don't cry because I view myself as a badass or tough, I just never have been much of a crier. I do a pretty good job of keeping my outward emotional appearance in check, even though it is not always intentional, it's just my nature I guess. I can count on one hand the number of people who have seen me cry, on another the number of those who have ever seen me truly angry.
I wish I were able to cry more freely, there have been many times other than the above mentioned were I've wanted to and probably would have benefited from a good cry.
Sorry for the massive wall of text, I've been meaning to start a topic like this for a while and it's good to know I'm not the only one who's tear ducts are broken. Also feels good to type this out and get it out of my system sans alcohol.

I've cried multiple times over the past year because my mom died. Sometimes I just sit and think about how she almost literally broke her back to support me and give me a decent shot in life.
Then I think about her getting beat and being unloved by both of her parents.
Then I think about how loving, funny, and kind she was despite all of it. I wanted to make her life worth it, but I can't now, because she will never see any of it.
I wish I could tell her how much I appreciate everything she did for me. I tried to, but she was too far gone.
By the way, that story someone told about the marathon and the blind man and his brother was awesome.

I cried this morning.
When I was putting away Christmas decorations, I found a memory card buried in a box. I checked the card this morning and found some pictures of my son that I didn't remember. He passed away 1 1/2 years ago.
It was a tough holiday season but I made it thru with no tears. But after seeing new pictures of him, I had to sit down and cry it out for a while.

i was the same way. Then I was diagnosed with multiple health problems, and I was told it might be due to not crying.

I will not lie...sometimes I will tear up at certain scenes in movies that involve a father and child--especially father/daughter scenes. I also tear up when things make me happy.

I try to cry when shite goes bad but I can't do it. It actually concerns me.

Well, that did it. I'm out of this thread. Too gut-wrenching for me. Sorry for losing your son. I just can't imagine.

When I was younger I would cry when I got mad. I cry when I laugh hard. Never cried from pain. Last time I cried was when I went hunting and sat in my grandfathers stand. I try to go sit there once a season. I cry every time.
Last time I cried in front of other people was at my grandfathers funeral.
