I don't cry often, not these days. Not sure if that means I'm a tough old boiler or what?

Tough old boiler

Any film nowadays has me in tears , and my EX for making me fill in several forms for the CSA for the 3rd time in 6 months !!!!!

Gosh I cry at the drop of a hat

I'm with you on that one!

I'm getting that way, I used to be pretty tough and it took a lot to make me cry but not now.

I seem to be going in the opposite direction to most - getting less blubby as I get older I still feel sad/angry/upset whatever, I've always been a bit over-sensitive, but just don't cry much

I'm a hard nut to crack - it takes a lot to make me cry. Though I did cry at a review of an adoption placement discussion we had last month - it had going terribly, terribly wrong in the worst way you could imagine and that made me cry, just thinking about what the poor little things had gone through.

I am finding it Takes slightly less now I'm getting older, though I tend to cry at soppy things rather than sad things.

Big boys don't cry.

But I get very close to it at times, when I hear about some poor soul who is suffering
or when I sing a song that brings back memories. I often have to change the subject
when talking about some poignant happening in the past. I'm a big softy really.

We all know you are a lovely big softie Aggers x

Frustration can make me cry too at times. I don't usually cry for myself though, more when I see a sad film or a person or animal in distress.
Never cry when I'm counselling though, but have been close to it.

Not always easy to stay in professional mode is it? xxxx

or when I sing a song that brings back memories.

I only have to hear a song with lyrics that were apt for me at the time and I'm away......when my marriage broke down, I literally didn't listen to music for well over a year because it seemed every song was a sad one and set me off!! One I think in particular was a Lisa Stansfield song called "All Woman" and that can still reduce me to tears even today. But there are many more

I was always quite steely in my younger days - I blamed becoming a mum for making me super emotional
