How can I overcome this? I do not suffer from depression and am happy with myself and life but I find myself crying at least once a week. I cry when I am angry, read something sad or touching, see certain things on TV such as weddings, tired, stressed out, hear bad things in the news, in a lot of pain, think of certain things, see others crying or in pain... I cry for many things. How do other people view this and can anyone relate? I am 23 years old and did start crying easily until about the age of 13. Nothing significant happened in my life during this time to make me such a crybaby. Does anyone have any suggestions to stop tearing up so easily? I find crying in front of others embarrassing.

I used to be like this. As a child my parents were harsh and my siblings were abusive. We were not allowed to express our feelings or cry when we were hurt or have our opinions valued. I think for me it was repressed anger and emotions. We are not designed to hold in all of our pain. I really recommend you do some investigating and think about how you grew up and maybe some things happened early on that you have stuffed down inside somewhere that you are not aware of? Just a suggestion but it may take a long time to get to the bottom of it. I think the tears are internalised anger. Good luck.

Well, don't be! Why should you feel embarrassed by your gentle heart? As long as it's not affecting your life, it's good to cry once in a while. I used to be like that, but now? i've lost someone i loved and never cried since then.

I've answered someone else's question about this. She found it helpful with regards to singing, but you can adapt the suggestions to other situations. I do it all the time. I'm very emotional, too. It embarrasses my teenager more than it does me. Still, I like to be able to control it in some situations besides just when singing. Hope you'll find it helpful too. (She gave me "Best Answer" for it.)
