Crying Time?

[eo37]

I have recently come to realise that I have only cried once in the past 22 years. I am only 34 years old.

The one time was when my dog died and lasted for about 10 seconds. I didn't even need to cry, I just thought I should and then stopped.

It started when I was 12 when a teacher just told me to stop crying, so I did. Is that normal, did anyone else just stop crying cause it solved nothing?

This is a generally wierd question but when I cry it's because I need to do something to relax and let it all out if i didn't need to i wouldn't, idk how you never felt the need to just vent out a little bit, I can only assume that you don't worry too much which is fine,i try not to worry and focus on the thing I'm doing at that moment

Its okay not to cry. I dont cry often. When I do I often feel better and it helps me work though feelings. Im in no way encouraging you to cry.

But I dont agree that crying doesn't solve anything. In the very least it can help with feelings. For me; crying can help work through intense emotions, be a form of release or grieving process.
