They played this 1 song at my friends funeral. It was supposed to be a different track, but there was a mistake. So anyway, whenever that song comes on I lose it… like big, dumb tears crying…
Empathy. Trying to feel what a person/being is feeling, going through, putting myself in their experiences. (I’m terrible to watch movies/shows/docs with, will be a blubbery mess).
Anything related to a pet passing away. That comic “was I a good boy?”, the Rainbow Bridge poem, anything like that and I swear it is just seconds and I am in tears. I’m blinking hard just typing this. I was flipping through a ‘poems by cats’ book and they were funny but there was one where it talked about how the humans were sad and this cat was looking for his friend and could smell him but couldn’t find him and I almost broke down in the humor section of Barnes and Noble.
Even now I have to go watch a funny video or something or else I’ll start thinking about it too much and end up crying!
Thinking about how my cats are getting older and will inevitably die. I often wonder which of the two brothers will go first. I’m tearing up thinking about it.
Rescued a cat a few years ago from a shelter. First cat ever. She was awesome. Loved me, was always excited to see me, was always next to me. Time of my life when I was pretty alone and she was the best part of my day.
Figured out she had FLV in our first vet visit. She lasted a year and a half after that. Crushed me. I miss her every day.
Seeing butterflies. I had a friend who lost his life 13 days after his 18th birthday, and without anyone mentioning it to one another, everyone memorialized him with tattoos. I’ve got a tattoo of a pink butterfly for him. Rest in peace, Nathan.
Emotional Paul Giamatti, every time. I’ll defend “Lady In The Water” just for his monologue towards the end. The man is a powerhouse channeler of grief.
The memory of when I had gotten into a code 2 (fight) in the jail I worked at against a mental inmate and my first thought after the altercation was my mom how she would be disappointed and just the thought of seeing her seeing how I look with a concussion and contusions on the side of my head and my eyebrow cut open and knowing she would be crying I felt guilty
There’s a specific version of the Hymn of the Fayth in FFX that brings me to tears, and it’s the one where everyone across Spira sings to placate Sin. You can hear the pain and hope in their voices and it gets me every time
Maybe its a product of being old, but watching shows from my childhood, like if I throw on a episode of cowboy bebop or FLC, it brings me back to my childhood. It is either because im old and it was a long time ago, or because my childhood was very lonely, im not really sure why but eh, such is life right.
I was doing a 10k on race day and got to a bit where I was really struggling. A guy went past, put his hand on my shoulder and said “you’ve got this” and it was just what I needed to hear. The smallest gesture meant the world to me at that moment. Seems like a silly thing to tear up over but I’ll never forget it. Thank you kind stranger.
Anyone talking about my grandma and her being deceased or if I think about my nieces not being tiny babies anymore.
I love to watch them grow and learn. It’s a happy cry. At one point they were sooo tiny in my sister in loves belly and now one is 7 and painting me photos for my fridge and the other is almost 3 and loves to talk about daycare and her friends. Not to mention my nephew is a TEENAGER and I remember when I was changing his diapers and putting him in little outfits for photos 😭😭😭😭
Hearing “Taps” still fucks me up when I hear it. I was having a conversation in one room and it was playing on the tv in another.. I didn’t even notice.. but tears had already started falling from my eyes… took me a second to realize why that happened
Thinking about my soul dog when she took her last breath on our ottoman staring into my eyes while I told her I loved her and she was the best girl. Fucking guts me and I think about it multiple times a day almost a year later.
The idea of my partner dying. in a different post, someone said for every inch over 5’11” someone is, shave 2-3 years off their life expectancy. Well, he is mega tall, way taller than 5’11”. I’ve never seen anyone as tall irl and I’ve never seen anyone old and that tall. So that’s terrifying. I’ve been crying on and off since…trying to quietly hide it because I don’t want him to worry about it and I can’t think of a good lie for why I’m crying this much. Had to leave to finish writing this reply too. I’ve always imagined I’d go first, with my awful genetics. Idk how I’d live without him.
I tend to get really sad/emotional when other people do. So like seeing someone cry could trigger me, if it’s a funeral or they’re talking about their dog dying, a sick relative, or something like that. I’m not normally an emotional person, at least not outwardly. I have definitely broken when driving and singing along to sad songs or any song where a father says they’re proud of their child. I don’t know why but that theme has always hit me hard.
I’m pregnant and for some reason whenever I see videos of other women giving birth I instantly feel like crying. It’s something I cannot control at all and I don’t understand why.
Or when I see an ambulance racing to the hospital with sirens and stuff on… I can only imagine someone in that ambulance on the verge of dying and I somehow cannot handle that idea.
I absolutely cannot control my reaction to these situations. I have autism and don’t even understand what kind of emotions I feel when I see the things described above. It’s really weird.

Pictures of young soldiers in active battle fields and/or locations. Date or era of the pics does not matter, always brings me to literal tears.

Over the Rainbow and Imagination songs…missing family and friends who have passed…
Men often don’t cry. So when I see a grown man crying, it has to be something extremely devastating and thats what gets to me.

Sometimes I think too much about my friends that are no longer here

Anything to do with children or animals being hurt
Maybe its a product of being old, but watching shows from my childhood, like if I throw on a episode of cowboy bebop or FLC, it brings me back to my childhood. It is either because im old and it was a long time ago, or because my childhood was very lonely, im not really sure why but eh, such is life right.
Orphans.
Weddings & watching My Girl
Stress, loneliness, and as a competitive swimmer when my time is shitty.

Missing my little cousin. She died a year ago, she was 14.
I was doing a 10k on race day and got to a bit where I was really struggling. A guy went past, put his hand on my shoulder and said “you’ve got this” and it was just what I needed to hear.

A tough-appearing guy getting emotional. I rarely see my dad getting emotional so I’m assuming that has something to do with it.
