A few days ago I was told something that really got me thinking. I was told that I would be the person who wouldn’t cry at a funeral. Now, some people would get offended by that, but I didn’t. I can confirm that yes, I did cry at the lone funeral that I’ve been to, but I really don’t cry that often. In fact, my grandfather’s funeral was the last time I cried, and that was just about three years ago. When I told people this, they looked at me like I was a ghost. Everyone I’ve talked to about this, including friends, parents, grandparents and others, have let out a cry within at most a year. Some it had only been a few hours, but not me.
I don’t know why I don’t cry as much as other people, I never really have. I know that I do indeed have emotions, but by no means am I an emotional person. I guess I just don’t feel extreme emotions to the point of crying, whether its happiness, sadness, or anger. While to many it sounds like a bad thing, I can take some positives out of it. I can be more cutthroat by leaving my emotions out some things in my life, which can be beneficial in competitive environments.
I think that there just hasn’t been anything in my life that has forced me to come to tears. Or I’m just an emotionless robot, who knows! While I don’t cry over things, I do still care for those things that I am passionate about. If you ever see me crying over something in specific, just know that I really care about it.
I'm the same way. I don't really cry or show my emotions that often. Many people who I'm really close to have even said that they've never seen me cry. I think it's because, like you said, I cry when I really care about something. I also don't like to cry in front of people because I don't like the pity. So, usually if I cry it's when I'm alone.
