bursting into tears

[Lost Magic]

Do you ever have so much emotions built up inside you and you know that you are going to just burst into tears? I am crying a lot more lately. My days are numbered.

Heeya. I feel you. I used to keep my emotions too because I grew up that favored more in logic than emotions. But after all the years of keeping emotions without checking them, I finally bursted out crying. I guess crying is part of releasing emotional burden.

I keep my emotions under control but I don't necessarily feel like crying. I just feel pain.

 

[PlushieLover]

For me, is pretty hard to cry, specially when I'm not alone. When I'm not able to cry I just feel like a painful void in my chest. But yeah, I know how it feels to be about to cry.

My emotions are usually so intense that I can't help but crying and looking like a fool. It's so embarrassing not to be able to control your own brain.

Oh dear. Its alright. I believe it is better to be able to cry than not being able to. Emotions are what makes us human. Not being able to makes us like machines. :)

I will pray for you

I appreciate that, I really do. I just feel too much I think.

Thats great! That means the feelings are genuine. Oh how I envy to be able to feel such genuine emotions. That I cannot do because my expression is of a permanent resting bitch face and I find it difficult to feel and appropriate my emotion towards certain situations. What I only do to be "normal" is emulate or copy the emotions of others. So, I think that being able to feel emotions and genuine at that is a gift. ;)

 

[SadJessu]

They are genuine emotions, but probably misguided, ha. And I completely understand where you're coming from, since I'm autistic 90% of my social interactions are trying to look and act like a normal functioning human, when I probably act more like a wendigo.

 

[xLosthopex]

Yeah, it's been happening to me a lot more lately
For ages I felt like I wasn't capable of crying anymore but recently I've been just bursting into tears at random times

Haha. Thats funny even though I dont know what a wendigo is. What first came to mind is flamingo. Haha. Hmm regarding being on the spectrum, are you having difficulty fitting in social gatherings or situation? If so, I have been thinking lately if I am too though I have never been tested or diagnosed because I find it hard too. But im sorry if my comparison seem shallow. I am just confused and wondering if this is the reason why I seem out of place in social gatherings most of the time.

 

[SadJessu]

Not shallow at all! Yes, generally I feel out of place in the overwhelming majority of social situations. I feel like talking to others just doesn't come naturally and I have to actively plan out what I'm going to say, even then people usually talk over me and I'm like 'oh ok'. Sometimes I rehires conversations in my mind I know I'll never have, ha.

Oh that happened to me too. I was even surprised myself why it happened all of a sudden after all the years I haven't shed a tear. Guess there's always a limit in us where we can no longer hold emotions in.

OH THAT IS EXACTLY IT! I tend to rehearse conversations and when it doesnt go the way I had in my thoughts, I just excuse myself and play cool. Sometimes, talking in real time drains me because it gives me less time to think and whats running in my thoughts are how to avoid "landmines" in conversations. Thats what happens most of the time in our meetings. Haha.

Btw, I believe this answers OP's question. We all have our breaking point no matter how much we try to supress our emotions. Assuming OP is a guy, its usually expressed in anger as men were often taught not to cry due to the old thinking that crying is deemed as being weak. However, there is always a breaking point were it will burst without our control thus it becomes more extreme/devastating or lasting effect so when sadness is suppressed then it burst, it becomes in a form of uncontrollable crying.

I don't tend to cry a lot but there are times I do which appears to be quite spontaneous when it happens. However, I tend to feel emotion quite deeply and it can be so intense that I don't quite know what to do with myself as I become so overwhelmed. I tend to become a bit more stressed or anxious. I'm not sure how to describe exactly. It's a physical feeling.

 

[FuneralCry]

I cannot cry anymore. I have not cried for a long time and in a way I miss it. I used to cry everyday and I think because I have cried so much in the past, I cannot anymore. I just feel empty, like I have already died
