I had no idea that people cry this much. It's like pulling back a curtain.
- jlarocco 10y agoI also had no idea. The article is just one person's experience, though, and I'm assuming they're an outlier. I don't think most people cry often enough to consider keeping a diary of it, but I really don't know. To counterbalance the article's author, I've cried maybe three times in the last 4 or 5 years, and that covers a pet dying and a break up from a long relationship.
- azinman2 10y agoYa I don't understand it either, but it seems that other commenters are the same. I once went on a date with a guy who told me he sheds a tear daily -- until now I had never heard of anyone doing that.
- distances 10y agoKind of the same for me. More baffling for me, however, is the range of discrete emotions she was able to categorize. If I tried, I would probably end up with buckets "upbeat", "fine", and "down". I found this article very fascinating.
- piyush_soni 10y agoIf we go by the name (Robin), it's a he. :)
- crymer11 10y agoRobin is a name used by both sexes, e.g. Robin Wright and Robin Williams. Additionally, the author's website indicates they belonged to an organization for women.
- piyush_soni 10y agoYeah, I just confirmed and came back here to write it. It's She. At the risk of sounding sexist, that relieves me a bit :)
- darkstalker 10y agoSame. I haven't cried since i was a little kid in the 90's. I've always found strange when people cry at movies and such.
- piyush_soni 10y agoPeople don't. This person does ... and I think it's ok.
- dibujante 10y agoNot being critical or anything, but I was also floored. My spouse and I pretty much never cry. Different strokes, I guess.
- nice_byte 10y agoI know, right? People don't usually discuss these things publicly and you just sort of assume that everyone's relationship with crying is the same
