>are you comfortable with people crying around you?

depends on the context but generally sure.

>being the only person in the room with a crying person

see above.

>my roommate cries
>often

i see the issue. yeah constant criers can be hard to deal with cuz you can only be SO supportive before your life is about coddling them. if you care about a person and know theres an end thats okay. but if not and you arent willing to take care of em long term you can feel selfish, wehn in reality you just want yourl ife back.

ive been crying a lot too to be honest.

Well seeing how I am the only other person in this thread, I'm going to have to ask you to stop because it is making me uncomfortable.


Kidding. I just get anxious and stressed around people who cry. I think the worst experience I've had with someone crying was when my mom started sobbing while driving me on a winding mountain road. I was scared for my life.

woof that does sound a bit scary. i dont blame oyu for wanting out cuz shes being triggered by nonsense and there doesnt seem to be an end in sight. suggest therapy to her.

You don't know the context. She was crying because she was talking about my dad and the divorce they went through. She was mostly venting to me because she had nobody to talk to.

I feel like I've been in a lot of crying situations when I think about. First bad experience was when this girl who I made friends with my freshmen year of college strated crying for no reason. She started crying in the public and then ran back to her room. I had no clue what o d and it was startling. I later found out she had anxiety issues. But at the time I didn't know if I was suppose to chase after her to make sure she's okay or just stand there so I followed her dumbly and awkwardly.

no

no
i dont judge people for it, but i dont have time for that shit. ive got my own problems to worry about. if theres a solution to be had, great, lets get to it. but if you just sit there and cry without trying to fix anything, i nope right out of there.

That's what I did. She sounded stressed out and even said she was crying early so I just nope'd out of there. I've consoled her in the past, with awkward hugs and pat on the backs but I just dont' know how people handle consoling others.

You guys sound great!

Please do yourselves and everyone else a favor and do not have kids.

You're not a horrible person, it's extremely stressful and overwhelming to deal with- especially if you don't know them very well.
