Around last Halloween I was kicked out of a party by an old friend
Because I wouldn’t apologize for calling a fat chick a fat chick.
I had originally been pretty drunk and trying to hit on said fat chick
but she was being a total bitch and started ignoring me. this Infuriated me.
so I yelled out something along the lines of “Don’t ignore me you fat bitch! I’m the only one here stooping low enough to hit on your fat Ass!”
Naturally Everyone at the party wanted to act like a hero and try to talk me into apologizing or some shit. The only thing I was sorry for was actually trying to talk to the fat cunt so I was escorted out.
I cried while walking back to my friends apartment because I thought
If she had been kicked out instead of me she might have lost a few pounds walking that fat ass home.

Im gonna sound nuts, and probably get called a troll, but Ill be honest. Sorry in advance for the length of this post.
It was tonight. I thought about my ex and the last time I ever saw her son. She broke up with me a while back, I went through a real hard time for a while. I started drinking a lot and ended up trying to kill myself. I got locked up in a psychiatric hospital for a week and almost dropped out of college (physicians assistant accelerated masters program/pre med). I love that little guy. Youve never seen a more adorable 2 year old. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Loved blues clues and to play with matchbox cars with me. I hope that maybe theres a way that I can be in his life some day, even though I dont think it will be possible. You know, I never understood why my dad always wanted to play catch with me when I was little, until I met this kid. Its weird, but I get it now. It was never about baseball, it was that he wanted to just spend time with me.
I tried to get rid of all the things my ex gave me because I couldnt stand to look at it every day, but I just didnt have it in me to get rid of this one picture of them. I keep it with me. Its of her holding him at a baseball game I missed while I was away at college. Sometimes when its late at night and I miss them, I look at it and I cant help but wonder if he remembers me at all.
I cried when the family made the decision to take my mom off of life support, the realization that she wasn’t going to come back from her latest illness got me, when I think about her I still get choked up
Last time I remember crying was when I was in the back of an ambulance and the EMT told me I had a shattered pelvis.
Turned out to just be a dislocated hip.
EDIT: As soon as I hit submit I remembered breaking down after I got home from the gym the night I pulled 600 for the first time. This was a few months ago. That’s a dumb reason, but it was an emotional moment for me.
On the phone with my Mom, trying to explain the circumstances behind the stillborn death of my first son. That was the first time when I allowed myself to feel.
Have not cried since and had not cried for 20 years before that, when I was a selfish self-centered teenage moron, and then felt ashamed for crying.
I agree that it is easier to tear up for some television or Hollywood scene than real life. Not sure why? Manipulative writers? Social pressure?
Funny that my first post on this forum would be here. Iv been lurking a while though, seems like a good group.
For a little background, i was shot up in iraq back in 04, was hit in the hand and lost index finger and all associated bones (knuckle etc) up to the wrist, they salvaged my middle and ring finger but they are pretty messed up. Lost some good friends over there
and my best friend blew his head off when we got back. I cried like a little girl when that happened, like snot running sobbing lol.
I dont know if its bad to say here or not but oh well. When i returned from over there i came back with mental
problems galore. Ptsd and major depression are the big ones. But like another poster said, ill get choked up now over a damn
commercial but when it comes to real life i cant even react. Just kind of numb.
And so…lol the last time i cried was a few months ago. My GF was essentially telling me that i seem like a shell. I cried out of
frustration because its true, and while i dont like it, its not something that is going to change. The numbness will probably be the end of this relationship just like sooo many others. Sorry for the long post.
Its ok for a man to cry, the real problems begin when he cant

Dude, you need not apologize for crying, after all you’ve been through and what you lost in the name of fighting for our country! Shit, if anyone deserves free-flowing tears, it’s you.

Push your eye back in? That sounds like a rather nasty accident. What happened?
PS. I’m pretty sure I’d have cried at that too![/quote]
x2! What does one have to do to have their eye popped out by accident? Oo

Apparently running into a stationary object that wasn’t there 2 seconds before will do that to you.
If I didn’t have a helmet on, I am sure my head would have needed to be mopped off the freeway.

I have to say, being at the young age I’m at now, the things I’ve cried about seem so petty to what some of you guys have been through…
On the topic of tearing up at movies and shit, For me its the perfectly selected music at the right timing that gets me. Its always music that gets my emotions going.
The last time I remember crying was 5 years ago when my 2nd boy was born. Never cried tears of joy before and now I think I understand the phenomenon. When you cry tears of joy you have so much emotion it can’t possibly be expressed by a big smile so the emotion spills over into other forms of expression.
I felt no shame in having tears stream down my face in front of my mother in law and the staff at the hospital.

Oh this reminds me, I had to keep leaving the room watching that fucking Kuchico movie (or whatever the fuck it was called). I guess I was embarrassed about that. I didn’t want my wife and older son seeing me sobbing and shit during the movie.
