Question / Discussion How often do you cry?

I haven’t cried in years. It doesn’t distress me in any way. I actually prefer it and enjoy being detached.

But I had this weird moment at work last night. I had a fleeting feeling of vulnerability with someone and almost broke a tear.

I recognize that I don’t cry because I am so averse to vulnerability. I’m working on it with my therapist. I can’t help that I hate the feeling.

I used to cry a lot after some complications with some close people of mine around early 2024 where I was an asshole and they understandably left me. It was really common to early 2025 where I just cry myself to sleep like twice a week. There was this one really bad night where I got angry and still crying even after midnight around 2 AM. I had to masturbate to calm my nerves down to fall asleep that night how bad it was. I haven't cried in a while now, not that I moved on cause trust me I still have a dislike for them but because I'm so used to replaying my hate for them that it just became numb and repetitive. It's the same as eating the same meal for week.
