/Fit/, do you cry at funerals? >Crying increases estrogen

>>38300635
Never been to one.
I haven't cried since I got in a skatepark fight in hs with 3 niggers.
I beat them up and then started crying for some reason.
Its been years though

>>38300635
Crying on occasion is good for you, diminishes cortisone and such.

I cried in my grandfathers funeral when the casket was lowered into the grave. Had to hold them back during a friend's funeral after a particularly powerful psalm.

I haven't cried since I was a young child.

Only at my father's funeral when I was 7

Been to three funerals in my life. All grandparents, we were decently close.
Ive never felt the need to cry at any of them

Got yelled at by mum for not crying the first time,
Second funerel, " I dont even know why youre here, youre obviously not upset"

The day of the third funeral i was told not to come because it was offensive to people that i wasnt upset. I went anyway

>>38300635
Everyone grieves differently. You don't need to be obsessed with appearing strong if somebody really close to you died/got hurt.

>>38300635
Not always. The last one I cried at I was in my early 20s. It was my grandma's funeral. She introduced me to music, which is now my career. I was OK until I got up to speak. Not sobbing or anything, but some tears came.

>>38300656

>>38300773
It was probably the stress

My wifes son was hit by a car whilst he was riding his skateboard. I did nothing but comfort my with, not once did I cry though.
This "lack of emotion" as my wife out it, started a lot of fights between me and my wife. Three months after the funeral, she filled for divorce. I guess their mutual grievance gave them something to bond over because my now ex wife is back and living with her first husband

Life sucks

I cried more when my best friend if 8 years died then i did when my uncle who i looked up to my entire life died. Not a single tear for my uncle. They both shot themselves and i feel that their deaths being 3 months apart i might've grown numb to the idea of someone actually shooting themselves

Every few months I like to take a lonely night, like a very lonely night, to look at sad stuff and tear up a bit, just so if something happens irl I can be an the one who isn't losing it and am calm about it.

This actually worked one time my grandpa died.
>it only kinda worked
>as soon as the pipes played I managed a single tear from both eyes
>as soon as I wiped them away I was good for the rest of it

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at the first man for crying.

You don't even seem to care. You can come and not cry, but if your attitude is "I wish I was home, playing vidya and discussing waifus on shit posting communities" then you're an arrogant faggot, and it shows.

>>38300635
I've never been to a funeral, but yes, I cry, probably a lot. I cried when my cat died, I cried when me and my ex gf broke up, I regularly cry during sad movies. Sometimes I cry when I watch the news and see how fucked up things are. I once cried because I saw a little bird that was sick and I couldn't do anything about it. It's probably gay etc, but I don't give a shit. It's how I deal with things and ultimately it feels fucking good.

>>38301722
People die all the time. It will happen to all of us . I dont see why we need to make a big fuss of it

>>38301806
But you were sad? Like, when you think of some nice memory of the people you lost and then realize that this person is now gone, that you can never share anything ever again with that person, that doesn't make you sad? Like, it's not even a thought as conscious and abstract as I just explained, it just pops up and fills you with sadness, like very immediately. That doesn't happen to you?

my sister committed suicide several months ago and it was the first death i experienced. it was such a surreal experience, the only moment i cried is when i first got the news from the cops and when her favorite song was played at the service while there was a slideshow of photos when we grew up together.

i try to look to the future and not revel in the past, but sometimes it gets hard. just a few days ago there was a moment where i mentioned sister (not referencing mine) to my gf and a few minutes later the emotions just hit me like a brick and i was struggling to not start crying in the restaurant we were eating at.

suicide is horrible.

>>38301806

>>38300635
For some reason, death of family members has never bothered me all that much. Even as a young kid <10 y/o it never upset me and eventually i realized that its just an inevitable part of life and there's no need to be sad about it

>>38301825
Mmm no..
Unless the person is in my immediate vicinity, or we've talked very recently, I usually completely forget they even exist. The fact that people have their own lives when they arent around me is a completely foreign concept to me, everyone just feels like a background character to my life

>>38301871
Exactly!
The last thing I want after my death is for people to all get together to cry and make each other depressed.
Cart my body off so my organs can be harvested and my body can be used for experiments and be done with it

>>38301882
You're a sociopath then

If i can be diagnosed by a couple of posts on an anime image board, why do we even need psychologists? Cheers, dickhead

>>38300705
Don't worry about that. That's normal. Your older brother had gotten to know the man better.

>>38301871
>>38301898
Nah, there are many reasons to feel that way. My personal experience is that the extent of how I feel empathy grew with my life experience. When I was younger I felt basically no empathy at all. It just didn't occur to me. Only later I learned how to do that, basically trained myself to feel what others feel and now it sometimes overwhelms me. Despite what people say, I deeply believe that empathy is kind of a learned skill. Not completely, but a large part of it.

>>38301919
As a matter of fact, psychologists are the most useless people that ever existed.
And yes, it can be diagnosed by the fact you lack empathy, nigger.

I work in hospice so I go to funerals weekly and witness about 5 people die a week.

I cried at the first couple, then stopped.

Yes it's still sad, but you get used to it.

No I don't feel weaker for feeling sad/crying there. In fact experiencing death tends to make me motivated to work harder, sticking to my exercise and diet.

>>38301919
I literally googled everyone feels like a background character and got people talking on autism/schizophrenia forums. You need help.

>>38301849
You should have stopper her. How shit of a brother are you for not noticing her depression?

>>38301934
Well anon, if you have to learn how to feel like a normal person, you aren't a normal person.
I should know, i'm like that too.

>>38301919
Fucking hell you are one autistic idiot. Such a big strong man for stating the textbook edgelord hurr everyone dies response.

>>38301934
Only in the last year or two have I learned that people react and feel different emotions than what I do. Although I dont think I will ever be able to feel them myself, Im slowly learning to recognize and respond the way a normal person would.

>>38301937
Just because I lack empathy doesnt make me a sociopath.
Up until I was about 15, I had literally zero social skills. This makes me think that Id be leaning more towards the autism spectrum

>>38301896
I would rather be happy that there was any time spent with them at all than to be sad that they are gone

>>38301934
Even i can't do that much, whenever i empathize with someone else there's always this nagging thought in the back of my head that i'm just faking it

>>38301965
If you have to learn how to feel like a normal person, you aren't a normal person.
As you said, you could have an autistic disorder or some other personality disorder, non necessarily sociopathy.

>>38301945
>You need help.
How exactly would I get help?
Other than try to train myself to respond like a normal person I dont think there is much that can be done?

>>38301954
I'm fairly certain that I'm perfectly normal in that regard, but thanks for the concern I guess. My idea is just that you can only feel true empathy with people who are in a specific situation when you've been in a somewhat comparable situation. It's like that supposed quote by Marie Antoinette "Let them eat cake" -- It's not that Marie Antoinette was a pathological psychopath, it's just that the experience of starvation was so removed from her daily experience that she just couldn't empathize.

Haven't been to a funeral yet but honestly unless I'm really close with that person I probably wouldn't cry.

>>38301988
You're right, you're already doing what you should be doing. Try to fake some emotion at funerals too, next time.

Wrong and wrong. It shows that you are strong, strong enough to feel that pain in front of others, strong enough to not hide it from them. Hiding is for the weak.

You can cry at any funeral with the exception of your parents funeral. That's to only funeral you're expected not to cry in . I didn't cry at my fathers funeral at 16 but I did cry at my ex girlfriends funeral a few years later

>>38302207

>>38302392
Wait why

I can't cry at funeral. I'm upset and sad but not to the point of crying. I just feel uncomfortable. My 2 of my sisters are the same way but our other sister who is more emotional, was balling her eyes out. She even questioned how we weren't feeling the same way she was.

When my grandfather passed away, we were all in his hospital room the moment he died so I did cry my eyes out right then and there. But i didn't cry at the funeral.

>>38302669
Because you're supposed to be in control of the situation and show strength and speak clearly and beautifully for your parents. If you have children you want them to realize at that moment that death is a natural part of life and one day you will be gone but they will be as strong as you were when your parents died.

>>38300635
Uhh, im pretty sure thats not what crying does to our hormones. If anything if you're hormones are un balanced you're more likely going to cry for no real reason. Its like a pms hissy fit.

>grin and get giggly when emotionally overwhelmed
>everyone thinks I'm an edgelord

You can cry when your father or dog die. Or if you are a veteran you can cry at solemn occasions for your brothers in arms. But cry like a man.

I treat each and every funeral as an opportunity to flex my fit stats. I volunteer as pall bearer and initially impress the chicks (who transition between grief and 'mirin' my aesthetics, 7/10 would fuck) by singlehandedly deadlifting the coffin, transitioning to a military press before finishing off with an ass to grass squat to lower it to the ground, and lastly a pendlay row position to place the coffin in its final resting place. Whats your /fit/ funeral routine?

>>38300635
Cried when I was 16 and we pulled the plug on my dad, didn't cry at his funeral. Cried the most when I had to tell him goodbye when he was in a coma, shit is fucked yo

I don't, I've always been able to deal with grief decently well. Sometimes I'll cry later if something really important to me about the person comes up.

For example, my Grandma died recently. I didn't cry hearing about it. I did cry when my girlfriend said she would get good at making pies for me because my grandma was an amazing baker.

When my grandfather died, I was sad but find myself stoic. He had lung cancer and he was undergoing an experimental chemo. He reacted poorly and he declined fast. I remember coming home feeling cold and falling asleep. I woke up feeling better. He died soon after.

Then months later I'm telling my girlfriend about him and his legacy (he invented some really common dental stuff for the government) and I find myself really moved. Crying. It was weird.

When CHAD cries, women see a COMPLETE man, confident in his emotions. When YOU cry they see a little bawling BITCHBOY.

I got #rekt, the worst part was i didn't know for sure, but my neighbors cat started wandering freely in my yard which meant my cat most likely died since my cat was bigger and tougher and would btfo my neighbors cat when he tried coming to the yard. Its been a year and i still keep waiting for that fucker to show up on my window by squeezing trough the blinds and getting stuck. He knew i had to let him in.

I am actually jealous at men who are able to cry and display emotion. It's a mechanism that allows us to move on instead of bundling up the feelings inside which makes it worse. There's nothing beta about displaying your emotions, to an extent.

I want to be able to cry more but I can't. When something traumatic happens I just feel stunned and like it's not real which just makes it feel worse.

>>38305743
Honestly i can't remember the last time i cried, i don't even remember crying when my grandfather died when i was a kid, i remember TRYING to cry when emotionally overwhelmed but i couldn't do it. I did cry a year ago actually, when i had a huge fight with my sister, but it wasn't just crying i basically threw a hissy fit and started hyperventilating, i started packing my bags to leave for good but it ended well, we both cried and apologized in the end, it was good because i got my feelings out because i would just take shit from my sister and ignore her but it really went to far that day. We are a lot closer now, still i felt like a huge bitch.

I have no reason to lie on an anonymous imageboard, so I'll say I completely agree with you. I feel like everyone feels more emotions than I do, like I'm some fucked up robot or something. My life just takes various ups and downs and I don't even feel emotions changing, My grandma and grandpa died and I didn't tear up... My dog died and I broke up with a longtime girlfriend and I still feel nothing, except maybe sadness. Like the only emotion I have is melancholy or nothing. I'd give anything to be able to cry, to feel like I had a reason to. I know this isn't my personal blog, but don't you guys ever take that for granted

>>38300635
I haven't cried since my dog died 3 years ago. Crying is stupid.

>inb4 autistic

I just think letting your feelings out is overrated. Makes you feel and look like a bitch and most of the time it can be avoided my rational reasoning. Crying is for women and for when a friend/family/pet dies. I'll give you 2 weeks to cry and let grieving happen, then it's just better to suck it up and allow yourself to get back into real life routines where you're busy enough to keep it off your mind.

>>38300676
Underrated coping mechanism Imo. It makes people happier to tell a good clean joke before and after the service. Especially if it's related to the person.

The pipes will really get you. I don't know why.

I was about 16 and my mom dragged me to a funeral for her cousins friends. Me and my sister were pissed off that we had to go since we didnt even fucking know the guy. Let alone even seen him before. People were crying and left a bad experience in my mind. Like why the fuck did I even have to go to that bullshit. My dad stayed home yet we all had to go. Being mexican sucks, apparently everyone is family...bullshit.

But in all; never been to a funeral for a close family member. But I dont know why but crying seems ridiculous. Death is death and crying wont bring them back. Most people dig there own grave with depression and addiction. I cant shed tears for someone who let their own house crumble. But I do get crying over a loved oned whose died of old age

I feel completely the same, I might think of some friend once in a while (not really friends since I usually don't do Shit with them) everyone else to me is just a side character, even my immediate family, they're just there to entertain me or something, I don't love them
I am literally autistic though, very mild case and highly functional but I believe I really am after all

Fucking killer reference. My mom bought me a book of his quotes when I was like 10. I wish I knew where it went.

Have you ever heard of the DSM-V (I think it will be the DSM-VI here shortly)? It stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders version 5. Look it up.

first time I had cried in probably a decade
Funerals are only sad if you were truly close to the person. My mom was a crackwhore so when she died I didn't even go the funeral.

Why so mad bro? Sounds like I touched one of the reasons of your insecurity.

I shed tears once.

My mortal enemy had finally succumbed to the final dark after years of battle. It felt as if I'd died myself.

For years, I wandered in a haze, seeking someone worthy of the challenge. Until that fateful day.

When I saw him on my screen, I couldn't believe my eyes. Impossible! His expertise of all matters related to 'the most dangerous game'. His fearlessness in the midst of a firefight. His willingness to take a man down with honor.

That was the second time I cried. Could this be? The game was again afoot!

Hemingway. Welcome back, my nemesis.
