Do you cry?

TerriLynn · Post by **TerriLynn** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 10:55 am

I hope this hasnt been asked before, as I've not gone very far back in the discussion pages so far.
I was just wondering how many of the girls here have found themselves crying from a particular song, movie or incident they witnessed while enfemme that you wouldn't normally if you were endrab.
I have several times found myself tearing up in several instances that caused really no particular emotional response when I have seen or heard the same while in 'bubba' mode. To me, this is just one of the many emotional responses that have been allowed to come out in me since finally accepting this very special part of me.
Being able to let theses emotions out now, after so long pushed down by society, is a very liberating and wonderful feeling, for me at least. I guess it could be likened to 'decompressing' that we hear about in other areas of our lives.
What do you girls think?

You're absolutely right that society tends to tell men not to show their emotions, to keep them under control. I've never been very good at that. I'm generally pretty emotional and while I don't cry at many movies I do find myself tearing up when I get caught up in songs and other emotional triggers.

I don't find the clothing I'm wearing at the time has any real impact. It's just part of who I am and one of the reasons I feel a strong connection to femininity.

Wife says I tend to get moody on occasions. Like when my big tom cat died. I cried for a couple of hours and was very down for a couple of days. Then too moives can get me emotional. I remember when "Apollo 13" came out. I was working at JSC/NASA when it happen and seeing the movie did get me emotional.

The clothing doesn't make any difference. I cry very rarely when sad, perhaps a bit more when really angry or scared, and feel choked up moderately often at movies and some music. But no actual tears.

Actual tears at this point come every few years at most.

In my mid to late 20's I still cried when really upset. Often a few times a year. Then I had an extremely dysfunctional relationship with a girlfriend. By time it was over something in me had changed. I felt like I had cried enough that I just didn't have any more tears. I'm still pretty emotional but I just don't cry anymore. I've always felt like that relationship took something out of me.

while not often, think the biggest cry that I had was when I lost my Mom, sister, and then when i lost my best friend, by Sheppard dog.

Depending on what i am watching on television, or the reports on the radio, while i will maybee not cry out loud, I will get very weepy, and takes a lot to control my emotions to not cry out loud.

I feel that is the Femminine side of me coming out, as i very often find i do that more and more all the time

I do cry a lot. I would say that I'm more likely to let loose when I'm feeling girly, or around understanding friends, whether I'm dressed or not.

I tend to tear up at mushy romantic things, and if I'm around guys I try to cover up, but often it's too many tears to hide.

I cry/tear-up over things sad and happy. Whether IRL, something read on the forums, or on television/movies. More so than my wife.

Didn't used to be that way, but over the last several years things just seemed to change.

Cry? Me Cry!!!!???

Since Virginia made herself known to me - what a girl!!!! We cry ---- A LOT!

As my sis, Donna eluded to - this forum is one example!! God!!! the tears I have shed over the ups and downs, victories and defeats that my sisters here have told about. I always keep a box of Kleenex here on my desk, as I never know what may be coming next.

Movies, two come to mind that will have me bawling like a baby -- every time! "Field of Dreams" and " Breakfast on Pluto!" That last scene from "Breakfast on Pluto" where Kitten passes her mother (unbeknownst to her that she has just passed her "son") and they walk off in different directions - makes me tear up even now! Guess if I had had a mother and father, well ............. that's another story!

I can sit here and look at my SO sitting next to me and cry - My God, how can I be soooooooooooooooooo lucky to have someone who loves me for who I am, completely and unconditionally?!!

When I see my training partner with her soul mate, two girls so in love with each other, knowing what they both went through before they found each other -------------

Cry??????????? Me?????????? Oh yeah!!!!!!! and it feels wondrous!!!!

Have a good cry every now and then, it cleanses the soul, they say!!!

Love,

Virginia

Quiet emotion with a few tears comes naturally to me when I'm watching a sad or happy movie, whether I'm dressed or not. It's just something in me that triggers an emotional response whether it's just listening to a parent talking about how much they love their child, to a truly sad or happy moment from a favourite movie. I do find myself getting more emotional at happy stories or events, which may have more to do with how I enjoy seeing people overcome adversity or enjoying the positive side of life.

It is more like how do you turn the water off for me. Especially in like the last ten years or so it has been more so. The mode of attire does not matter to me, many movies are moving to me enough to start the water. My wife and kids see me cry often during movies. Also many songs can be moving for me. But that is more when I am alone and able to actually listen to the words and think about them.

Hi girls,

I noticed that I have cycles. There are times when everything makes me cry. Then there are other times where only sad or emotional things make me cry. I mean, Steel Magnolia's gets me every time. And the end of "An Officer and a Gentleman" makes me cry everytime. Bull Durham always makes me cry when Susan Serandon starts crying because she loves him. And of course, The Goodbye Girl always makes me cry.

Yes, since the emergence of Elizabeth I no longer have to cry alone in the dark. It's very liberating and makes me feel more like a complete person.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Nope,, I don't cry anymore. I have cried many,many times when I was younger but I have no more tears left in me to cry anymore.

TerriLynn, I think it's a good question to be asked. Yes I cry and not only as Jill but also in male mode. I know how society has this standard for men to "suck it up" and not show emotion, But I think that's a lot of Bull****. I have openly cried over the loss of a loved one, but i can also cry when I see a news item about murders, child abuse, and human injustice. Movies and songs can be tear jerkers too. I cry almost every night since I lost my spouse. It's a human emotion whether it comes from a man, or a woman, or a crossdresser. Luv and
