When was the last time that you cried?

Tangatagamadda Chaddabinga Bonga Bungo · 09-06-2014 12:51pm #1

Just watched Eamon Dunphy on The Meaning of Life with Gay Byrne and what struck me was the amount of times he cried in the space of 26 minutes.

Me, I did about 4 years ago when a close family member died. How about you?

Honestly can't remember thankfully,

Vito Corleone · 09-06-2014 12:58pm

Can't really remember, I think after I got to a certain age I just began to believe crying was not acceptable.

Menas · 09-06-2014 12:58pm

When Bambi's mother died.

Those bastards that killed her shall never be forgiven.

Duggy747 · 09-06-2014 1:00pm

Can't remember, not since I was a child anyways. The GF thinks I'm a bit of a robot because I don't frequently cry about things and that it's not natural :pac:

What's unacceptable about it? I ask as a man.

Nothing, but that is what is in my subconscious.

2 years ago when I had to get my sick german shepherd put down,cried like a little girl on the way to vets,in vets & all the way home,very embarrasing for a 30 year old fella,have changed vets since.

Every time I watch Kramer Versus Kramer, and when I watched this for the first time:

Alf. A. Male · 09-06-2014 1:14pm

During Italia '90.

Deise Packers · 09-06-2014 1:15pm

Italia 90. Toto Schillaci. I was 7. Never forget. Never forgive.

The One Doctor · 09-06-2014 1:16pm

I got some dust in my eye when I heard my unborn child's heartbeat for the first time. Other then that, very rarely.

Ditto. That programme really tugs at the heartstrings.

Vets are accustomed to this, your gender and age are irrelevant. If someone doesn't cry at having to do this, they clearly shouldn't have pets in the first place.

Boards.ie downtime

looking_around · 09-06-2014 1:24pm

3 weeks ago.
my dog got killed 2 weeks before that.. and I had been crying most of that time.

about 4 years ago, I used to believe crying shameful and weak(for me). and I hadn't cried for about 15 years. therapy has helped, though I still feel a twinge of shame.

thomas anderson. · 09-06-2014 1:27pm

When I stubbed my toe on my mothers vagina on the way out

genericguy · 09-06-2014 1:29pm

When i had a serious argument with my wife .Longest bout of of crying was when each of my parents died .( of natural causes).I can cry easily just from looking at a sad movie that gets me involved.

Galwayguy35 · 09-06-2014 2:15pm

fearrua · 09-06-2014 2:35pm

About three years ago I stayed up all night to finish a college assignment, e-mailed it in and decided to watch Up for the first time. Cried like a wee babby at the opening scene. I blame it on sleep deprivation.

maguic24 · 09-06-2014 2:35pm

Last month. I had a serious case of PMS and couldn't find any chocolate. :pac:

top madra · 09-06-2014 2:35pm

It brought a little tear to my eye

Fiolina · 09-06-2014 2:37pm

I cried last night when my big 18 year old man boy son broke down over doing his Leaving Cert maths today. Hadn't seen him cry in about 5 years.

I cried this morning after I dropped him to the exam as he was so stressed and nervous.

And I cried with relief when I finally got him on the phone this afternoon and he said the exam had gone ok.

Hopefully I'm done now

urabell · 09-06-2014 2:37pm

Cry all the time it's healthy. Just not in public, then it's needy

recylingbin · 09-06-2014 2:37pm

That time I was on that singing competition and they did a bt about my life and how the granny i never met or gave a **** about died from neglect and how much I missed her and whatnot.
I think they played coldplay over it.

eviltwin · 09-06-2014 2:38pm

I cry a lot, I cry at happy things, I cry at sad things. I watched ET last night and shed a few tears.

toxicity234 · 09-06-2014 2:40pm

Saturday. Watching Offaly Vs Killkenny.
Not joking.

Merkin · 09-06-2014 2:42pm

Reiketsu · 09-06-2014 2:48pm

Saturday night whilst watching some tv programmes. Guaranteed to blub at something no matter what I watch :pac:

maguic24 · 09-06-2014 2:51pm

I don't cry that often but when I do, I cry and cry and cry.....it's like an outburst of emotion.

I cried for ages when I was six when Max died, he was half collie/half greyhound and would follow me everywhere. He was a puppy when I was a baba. The worst think about it was he got killed following me to school.

The doggy heaven thing softened the blow but I was still devastated.

I also cried for a 2 weeks straight when I was 17 over a very close relative dying.

Oink · 09-06-2014 2:53pm

A few years back my very old, very sick, very loved Auntie told me: "I will see my sister, your Grannie, very soon". And this grown man nearly told her "Give her a kiss for me". I had to turn away.

Here I go again. Dammit Auntie

...

AnonoBoy · 09-06-2014 2:54pm

I don't cry.

What I do is squeeze my emotions into a bitter little ball and release them at an approprate time. Like that day I hit the referee with a whiskey bottle.

Remember that? When AnonoBoy hit the referee?

Muise... · 09-06-2014 3:12pm

Yesterday morning. A beloved family member died ten days ago and I woke up from the first full night's sleep I've had since then -slept so well I only remembered he was dead when halfway through waking up. Horrible feeling. I had also forgotten that you shouldn't cry while lying on your back, or your tears will fall into your ears and tickle you.

Hate crying in public, but there's nothing wrong with going somewhere quiet and getting it out of your system.

masti123 · 09-06-2014 3:16pm

Last time i cried was years ago when I was 14, i was just listening to some songs, felt sad and cried for no specific reason, it was a weird experience, have never felt the urge to cry since.

Dr. Zaius Dr. Zaius! · 09-06-2014 3:16pm

About 20 minutes ago, and probably within the next 20 minutes again....and for what reason?....NOT A DAMN THING!

Oh the joys of PMS!

Maphisto · 09-06-2014 3:22pm

When my Dad died.

And funny, but I can handle the anniversaries and birthdays OK - little things trip me up. Like I was just up the barns and he'd made a hook to store a cable when we were up there sometime and I'd never noticed it until now, 2+ years later.

If I'm on my own that's OK - if not it's the pollen or something in my eye

It wasn't the last time I cried, but the start of that movie was just the saddest thing I ever saw! I bawled and every time they mentioned the book or the wife later on in the movie I was off again.

I was very pregnant at the time though - so I'd like to think that is why....but I've never been able to bring myself to watch it again - if my kids ever want to watch I might have to skip forward about half an hour

Birneybau · 09-06-2014 3:29pm

Actually, on the bus last year. Some creep pulled my earphones out, cried even more.

And again on the Green Line Luas...

FunLover18 · 09-06-2014 3:30pm

Last week when people kept posting sad animal videos in the "Are You Sentimental" thread.

Being pregnant is a fair excuse.

You sure it wasn't the luas green line?

I'm a sensitive enough sort of guy so fairly regularly. During the day and especially in sunny days like today I'm in a great mood and people will tell you I'm always in good form. But then I go to bed and can't sleep and start thinking about ways to kill myself, imagining my own funeral and heaps of self loathing I start to cry a little and feel like ****. Then I get a weird sense of relaxation and these are some of the best nights sleep I get.

I can't really explain it but I think maybe your mind needs to release these emotions and if I'm going around feeling fantastic all day my body maybe just needs to create a balance. I just don't know.

I was trying hard to think when the last time was. It was definitely watching this. I cried my eyes out during every single episode!

Resonator75 · 09-06-2014 5:54pm

Just had a bit of a micro weep over Rick Mayall's death , feel like part of my childhood is gone away. Damn it anyway , quite upset by that

When was the last time that you cried?
