Why sometimes I cry, sometimes I don't?

Honeybunz SG

When I watch movie, TV, see people cham, I will cry one. Even on TV news, see children in africa very cham, I also cry one.

But when I quarrel with bf, or even when b/up, I don't cry. And I don't even cry even when I miss my ex after the breakup. How come?

occupational hazard? hehhe

but ok seriously...

seems like u're a more compassionate person then an emotional one? something along that lines lar. or, u feel more for other pple's suffering than for your own.

how about that? i dunno u at all, so these are just guesses based on ur post.

2 emotional? Confused Rolling Eyes

bcoz one seldom see oneself as the victim. most of the time, we tend to empathise with others, instead of ourselves becoz we always think/feel subconsciously we'll be able to handle the events better.

also, it can be seen as a case when one is devoid of feelings/emotion due to stress or not wanting to feel anymore, thus no emotional reaction....

just my 2 cents worth. not quite sure if it's true.

Cool

yeap!!!! it's true.

it's along the same principal as giving advice. i dunno about u all, but for me, it's damn easy to spend time and analyse and have a goodthought about my friends' problems and offer them a sincere opinion and possible remedies, but when it comes to my own problems i just refuse to think about them.
