Hey, I'm 16 and I can't cry.. I don't know why I just can't, I mean I've had my heart broken in the past week but somehow I just can't cry no matter what. What could be the reason for this?

Do you mean that you cannot cry, when you are un-happy or that you cannot cry actual tears? If it is the latter then see your doctor, you need `moisture` around your eyes to keep them lubricated. Either way a visit to the doctor is advisable.

Some people just have a tendency to hold things inside. Some people cry more than others. Men and boys are less likely to cry because society has deemed it as inappropriate. Don't listen to society. You may find yourself eventually breaking down at one point in your life. I wouldn't worry or put too much thought into it. A lot of people grieve, take lose, deal with stress in different ways besides crying. The older you get the less you cry anyways.

Maybe you've become desensitized where you've experienced so much pain in life you've learned to ignore it and put it away. A good way to get in touch with your feelings again is going to a therapist and they could help you open up a little. Sometimes we are told as men not to cry especially around our peers, that's a bunch of BS. Men should cry when the time is right.

Your heart may have harden to the point in which you can't cry. You said your heart was broken, meaning you may feel to broken to cry in a way that you may fear crying, that it will break your heart further. Sadness is a balance to joy and love, so if you love again and feel happy, you will cry again!

That happened to me once-- I think if you've been hurt bad enough, it's more of a shock than it is sad, so your body doesn't know to cry. Of course, I can't cry unless I'm sad-- if you can, then I can't help, sorry.

maybe its just not that upsetting in your head as much as it is in your heart, think of some thing REALLY upsetting..loosing a VERY loved one to death, a horrible and painful death...when i think i couldn't cry, or cry any more i usually do just to get the crying out of my system. sounds cruel but if u want to cry..this'll help.

There are all sorts of possibilities. You cried yourself out. We only can keep up that level of emotion for so long. It could be a way of not "losing it". Our emotions go up and down. Don't worry about it.

I don't know... maybe u don't drink enough water. or u didn't try hard enough.
i actually consider u lucky, 'cause in public, for little things, i have to try really hard to not cry.
maybe u cried too much in the past... i don't know.......

depression sometimes will do that.....find someone you trust to confide in - sometimes when we actually talk about it out loud it allows the tears to come......good luck.
