I’ve been going through a lot recently. Multiple jobs, bills piling up, and my current relationship is falling apart. I want to cry. To bawl my eyes out and scream at the top of my lungs. But I can’t. It feels like there’s a wall between me and my emotions. Anyone else deal with this?
Everyday life doesn’t really ever make me feel that way, I just don’t find the ins and outs triggering that emotional response.
That being said, I am a prolific crier at movies. So I guess I am still regularly washing my insides, just with a different stimulus.
Do you cry more often with sad or happy endings?
Thank you for asking. I’m not sure, I haven’t been able to put my finger on what exactly gets me. I think I’m a sucker for stories that are about the flaws and fragility of humanity, that are told in a particularly honest way. Recent examples would be:
Hey, same, I guess, but I haven’t watched any of those movies (Rocky is probably my favourite movie and it’s all about being a “loser”, having low self esteem… and then finding solace in another human being, ofc, very tender!). Time to cry to new things! 😅
