Psh, amateurs. I come from a family of criers. We all hate that we get moved super easily, but we fucking cry when anything emotional happens. Men and women. We are all equal here.
Sad movie? We cry. Beautiful music? We cry. A nice sunset? Yep. We cry. So fucking annoying, but what can you do?
I genuinely thought there was something wrong with my boyfriend when I discovered that he isn’t a crier and can sit through a sad movie without showing emotion. I’m a bit jealous, ngl.
I think you are wrong about how off-putting your tears are.
In my experience, when someone loses someone they care about, it is comforting for them for other people to be sad and feel the loss as well. I think that if instead of focusing on your own tears and your embarrassment when you get emotional, if you still focused on the other person while you were crying, they wouldn’t feel obligated to comfort you. Then they could just continue to share with you and be comforted by the fact that you empathized and were moved.
When my brother and SiL had a stillborn baby, I went to visit them. They genuinely seemed somewhat relieved to see me crying while we visited together.

Aawww, your pookie bear isn’t sensitive enough?
Gonna cry about it?
Mate, if you want me to start crying, just ask me about my thoughts on Lord of the Rings or Astrid Lindgren.
I can go from completely normal to ugly crying in a span of seconds once these two topics are brought up.
I wonder how freaked out he was at the beginning seeing the whole family cry hah
I don’t think he minds. He’s a pretty chill dude, luckily.
I’m actually jealous of you.
I think its great that you come from a family who let you express your emotions.
A good cry is such a great way to reset and recalibrate. I’ve cried once in the last decade, I wish I could cry more.
