Has anyone else not cried in years?

[[Snusmumriken]]

I used to cry almost every night, but 2-3 years-ago I stopped crying.
But Sometimes, I randomly shed a tear, as if they're overflowing.
Does anyone have a similar experience?

I haven't cried in a while but now I have been thinking about something, that'll eventually be inevitable if the things causing it are unsolved and it makes me cry so much.

Other than that, I feel the same as you.

Completely similar as a teenager I often cried every day now there can sometimes go 3+ years before I cry and even then it´s only for a short while like a few minutes tops and I immediately try to seize the moment of feeling sadness and enjoy the cry because it feels so relieving to cry but it stops too fast.

I cant cry on things, on which a normal person would cry. i did not cry when my grandfather died. i dont cry when something bad happens with someone i love. this situation leaves me with so much guilt and suffering, that when i go to bed at night, and i am alone, and my parents dont see it,.i force myself to think really bad things,.just to cry, and THEN i cry. but it doesnt do much with reality

Wooh, I thought only I was like that. All your words apply to me, too, but I have a slight extension. I usually laugh when others cry. I don't do it intentionally to hurt people. It's natural for me since I was a little child. Unfortunately, my parents beating me didn't cure the condition. So, I still do it, and everyone hates me. At the same time, I can cry and often do it alone in bed.

I cried in june 2023 after almost 12 years unable to cry.

I only managed to do it because I forced myself very hard to cry. Before that I used to believe that I couldn't because I was a crybaby as a child/pre-teen and cried for a lifetime in ten years...

Yep. Been so long I actually forgot when it was.
It's a pain in the behind, seriously. There are moments when I didnt want to draw attention to myself so it would help the situation if I cried but I just cant because I dont feel anything. I end up being labelled as an unfeeling, uncaring bastard.

I can't remember when was really the last time I truly cried, I feel like i've kind of became unable to, I wish I could push myself into crying but it just doesn't work.
