my mum says that when i was young, i cried for no reason. *but she could have been exaggerating.* from what i observed, she naturally exaggerates things when describing them, for example, she can make a video sound funnier than it really is.
what she says: "hungry cry, after feeding cry, sick cry, ok cry. and you can cry the whole night." i've always been a fussy person and i still am.
i read that some babies who cry for no reason are colic. but that condition only last for the first few months of their lives. if i'm not wrong, i was like that up to the time when i was 3.
now at the age of 13 turning 14, i describe myself as sensitive. i cannot talk about death or things like that for too long or i'll cry. and i find myself worrying about trival matters, even though i know it isnt much of a big deal.
do babies who cry for no reason grow up to be highly sensitive people?

Babies always cry for a reason - and there are so many!
They could be hungry, uncomfortable, ill, missing the parent, colic, stressed, need to have a good cry in order to sleep, missing physical touch, etc., etc., etc.
You are young, have hit puberty, and I highly suspect that is why you are sensitive. It is totally normal for your age. I do not believe it has anything to do with you being a 'fussy' baby as your mom would say.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your question as it relates to babies, but I can say that sensitivity can be a great quality in a person. As long as it doesn't make you 'over' sensitive, i.e. easily offended and uptight, I think it can make you more aware of other people, which is rare in a world of extreme individualism. Either way, I hope you find an answer to your question.

Crying is the only way for a baby to communicate.
It doesn't mean you will grow up to be fussy or highly sensitive people.

babies cry sometimes for no reason like it's not time to change the diaper, eat or any of those physical stuff...babies cry naturally to expand their lung capacity. and practice using their lungs..they don't do that consciously....it's instinctual.
they also cry for reason as to get comfort...or at least smell the primary caregiver..why smell?? infants can identify their mother's milk by smell..and thus be comforted that the primary caregiver (the one that feeds him) is near.
this results in the development of trust.
if the baby keeps crying for reason other than hunger, diaper change... that means it just wants to be comforted, assured that the primary source of food is there... and if the crying is not comforted. babies develop a sense of mistrust!
which later on in life would result to being worrisome....sensitive to others, difficult forming bonds with other people (trust issues), feeling things are bigger than they actually are and etc.
in a way...the different stages of life according to Erik Erikson has different needs that will affect how a person is shaped....
infancy: trust vs. mistrust
toddler: autonomy vs. shame and doubt
preschool: initiative vs. guilt
school age: industry vs. inferiority
adolescent: identity vs. role confusion
young adult: intimacy vs. isolation

I don't think that's true. My mom said that I was a very happy baby. She compares me to my son who has a very good disposition. We always get commented on how good or happy our baby is. ( He's 9 1/2mos old ). My mom said that I barely ever cried, and would just sit there and smile at nothing.
I consider myself to be a very sensitive person. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I worry a lot about almost everything.

Babies cry because they don't speak English. My guess is that this child is very expressive, and will be a talker, actor or writer someday. Crying does not always mean pain when it comes to babies. They just want something. It's up to you to interpret.

i do no longer choose to sound patronizing, yet have you ever seen counseling? It sounds to me like your vanity has been heavily laid low with the bullying you went via, and you are able to choose help in development that decrease back up back. i be attentive to it quite is complicated yet attempt to no longer be so no longer complication-free on your self - you at the instant are not a "cry toddler", and absolutely everyone struggles at one factor or yet another. Take care.

I think babies do cry for a reason maybe to be held, there uncomfortable, a little upset tummy or gas.

My mum says exactly the same about me. I don't know if it's true or not.
I know that I used to chew my older brother's shoulder though! lol!
