I had a weird thing happen that kind of fucked me up. I haven’t cried or been able to cry since. Lost a close relative and I saw another explain what happened (it was particularly sad). When he was explaining he started to begin tearing up but swallowed and stone faced. He finished explaining and I haven’t been able to cry since. For clarity, I’ve never had a problem showing emotions or crying. I used to cry at inspirational stuff or sad stuff. Its been around six months now. So when’s the last time you cried? Maybe hearing some stuff will loosen me up.
Crying enough to interrupt my breathing with the quivers and and all? When I was 13 at my grandparent’s funeral. That was the first death for me. Emotional tears? Like every other day. Happy, sad story, movie, moving article, beautiful community moment, a good song at the right time, whatever. It’s been like this for over 30 years.
You don’t have to cry. Hopefully, it’s just a sign your brain has readjusted how it ranks stressful situations and not anything more serious than that.
