Do you cry and why?

r/

54/M with a beautiful family and blessed life. I’ve noticed over the last few years that I am increasingly moved to tears by the simple awareness of my good fortune and the fleeting beauty of our life and love. The best word I can find for that swirl of feelings is “bittersweet.” It’s such a complex mix of emotions and I’m wondering if others have experienced something similar. I’m not sure if I should be proud or concerned lol. Thx for sharing.

    I’m the same in that anything cruel or beautiful moves me to tears. I’m late 50’s

    I was crying two hours ago. Our grandson found our vhs wedding reception tape. I haven’t watched it in 25 years or more.

    My parents, stepparents, grandparents, great grandparents, aunt and uncles are all gone. My brother and sister are still here, as is my wife, kids and grandkids. I’m very thankful I have them.

    I’m 57(F) and cry easily at music that moves me as well as acts of kindness. Emotional scenes in movies can break me down too.

    84m. IMHO, a person needs to be vulnerable in order to be happy. I feel bad for folks who are in a constant state of “fight or flight or freeze” because of their living situation. If we could only somehow organize the entire world’s population into one supportive cooperative, everyone could just relax and be happy.
