What is the proper terminology?

On the other hand, we almost never become serial killers, probably because we allow ourselves to cry when we need to.

hell, I don't know. "the vapors" maybe. "tetched in the head"

lol'd

Insane in the membrane.

pretty sure that having nothing to do is just as likely to impact on your mental health as too much - c.f. mothers' little helper

strongly agree

ya i saw moneyball too

i read about some rich people in the 19th century, and iirc they called it 'exhaustion' a lot.

oh, i think i prefer "teh vapors"

i need a new location...

location bet isn't over yet! tom has one more question to reveal.

miracle come back one tiiiiime!!!

But seriously, I don't know why I don't like baseball much any more. I played for about 20 years and was a diehard fan for about 15 of those years.

I guess starcraft takes up too much of my time.

ditto

i'm this way with basketball now. i mean, i March Madness but the rest of the year & pro ball and other junk, i couldn't give a crap about. played my entire life and i'm like "meh" about it now.

times i have cried since turning 18

2003: Morning after Sox lost game 7 to the Yankees, was on AIM and reading some away message a HS friend put up about his positive memories of the season. Just triggered some strong emotions within me and I started bawling my eyes out.

2005: End of the study abroad semester. It was just such a surrealy awesome time and I wasn't ready for it to end that I cried in the cab the entire way to the airport.

2010: After the Celtics lost to the Lakers in the finals I was reflecting on the run they had, and a few tears started streaming down my cheeks. Not because I was sad that they lost, just sad that the season was over because their playoff run was so magical.

Failed attempts at crying

2008: Lost my totally kickass job, felt depressed as hell and very badly wanted to cry but couldn't get tears to come out. Resorted to chain smoking instead.

TN did you have a scholarship for bball?

TheNothing threw a mean elbow in the paint, I remember.

I haven't cried since August 2010, when I was told my dad was terminal

I can't even cry when I feel I need to. At funerals, or other stuff that I *should* cry at

Mildly concerned about that :/

yup

hell yeah, had to make up for my lack of height


also, Dean #notagoodlook with 2 of your 4 crying fits to be about sports

this is as close to crying as i get - i think i forgot how, but i well up a bit and then no tears come out. Happens mostly in movies, although i think i might have shed a couple of actual tears in the toughest bits of LKC's birth.

I think i cried relatively late as a small child, so maybe it's makeup.

lol i'm not going to share how often i cry but i also have children (durr) and they make me cry almost daily (mostly good)

I definitely cry far more than the average guy does.

If Forrest Gump's mama dying doesn't make you cry, nothing will.

i canNOT stop laughing at your avatar lashawnda
that face is killing me

it's really 2 of 3 since i failed that one time

sports have always been my emotional outlet because i don't like getting emotional over real life. i prefer to have clarity + a steady hand, since emotions often undermine that i normally just tell them to STFU and leave me alone.

it might not be a good look, but i like it better that way.
