Stupid sh*t you've cried about.

[ROKKO]

Was playing God of war. If you don't know it's basically a father son adventure story. Shit gets pretty emotional and during one scene when the father\son really go at it shit hit me hard. I didn't cry but my eyes were watering up.

I'm actually replaying that for the 3rd time since last year. My last save was 368 days ago. Atreus was mad that his dad disappeared when he went to refill the bifrost.

Nothing 'stupid' about that reason, whatsoever.

Suicide is a topic that always gets to me. Some months ago, a lad from my city - uni student about my age - hung himself after a might out. That shit made me break down because of how easily it could have been me, or most of my friends, or anyone I know who suffers from mental health problems.

Never even knew the kid, but his passing inspired me to double my efforts in checking up on people, speaking to uni students as well as the people I train with and help coach, just to let them know they're loved and I'll always be there to talk to.

Nothing wrong with caring for other people, brother.

Last time was when I got falling down drunk and put on Joy Division or SpongeBob Squarepants. I forget which one it was but I burst into tears anyway.

I was reading Uncle Tom's Cabin about a year ago and the little blond girl dies from a disease and tears came out of my eyes. I wasn't wailing crying but more tears came out then should have. Tom loved that little girl. Shortly after that the family had struggles and has to sell Tom.

God damnit lol.

A lot of what I read in this thread is not exactly my idea of stupid shit, but more so legit reasons to cry.

My stupid shit I cried about (although more of just a few tears): the end of The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein, for a computer.

I will admit that I cry more than the average man. Much much more than the average Sherdogger. First movie I watched with my girlfriend was St. Vincent. Usually sad scenes don't get me but inspirational ones do. When the boy nominated Vincent to be a Saint? Tears.... Last time I cried is when I had to put my dog down. Still chokes me up when I think about it. That was over a year ago. So for me? I do cry for stupid reasons. Your friend killing herself isn't a stupid reason. I'm sorry for you and her families loss.

You sound really young lol. Just going by the first movie you cried to was St Vincent. Anyway, no shame in feeling things deeply. A lot of guys neglect their feelings and many that are sensitive and soft deny their feelings and belittle those that express them. Keep that in mind as you wade through life.

I've got a kid on the way

I guess you can call this a 'Should I throw away my man card?' thread.

I don't get emotional about much. It comes from being a student of history and always figuring that someone else has had it much worse than myself and they were able to make it through it without crying a single tier, why can't I?

Then this morning something hit me out of left field. There's a model I've followed on twitter for three years, she follows me, and we've DMed pretty often. We've never met, just chat back and forth.

I've never pitched the idea of meeting up in person, for multiple reasons. We were twitter friends and that's it.

She's not ultra-popular, just has acouple ten thousand followers, but I always thought she had a unique look to her, but not mainstream-popular look. This led to difficulty to her finding work in the modeling industry. I've DMed her about it in the last month multiple times about agents and companies being assholes, and asking if she's alright because she seemed very very stressed about her modeling career coming to an end, and she had no idea what she was going to do next. But she seemed happy about one modeling job she had lined up, possibly her final one, last week.

So, this morning I hadn't heard from her in eight days, so I checked my DMs and found nothing from her. Checked out her twitter profile and she hadn't posted anything for a week, which is very very unlike her. Then I checked her last tweet, which had several responses like...

...Suicide Hotline (***) ***-**** Call if you need help!...
...R.I.P...
...I'll Miss You...

Apparently, she killed herself five days ago.

From what I gathered, she went to the modeling gig and they turned her away after they saw some flaws with her body. She always had insecurity, and trouble finding jobs, because of some discoloration of the skin on her shoulder.
She left the modeling location in tiers, and committed suicide.

Her final tweet was a video of her acting incoherent and in the last few seconds she said "help me."

And now, I'm wondering why I've only got two hours sleep in the last eight hours, crying my eyes out so much my pillow is soaked, and all because of a girl I never met killed herself.

Probably because of the way she said 'help me.' I only watched it once but it replays in my head, over and over.

And now I have to get up and go to work in 45 minutes.

So, what stupid shit have you guys cried about?

I wouldn't say that's stupid shit at all, dude.

Last time I cried was the end of Life is Beautiful.

"Mama!!"

Those were probably tears of joy, though, tbh

Spoiler

Gets me every time...

I cried because of love once.

[Bluesbreaker]

My ex-fiance... She definitely was a stupid sh*t.

 

[Watermelonfresh]

When I saw my cable/internet bill
When I realized how much interest I pay on my mortgage over life of loan if I don't pay off early.

Reminds me of this.

After coming back from Fallujah (2004-2005 Operation Phantom Fury) we got back to Camp Lejeune early in the morning...like 2am or something. I sat in my barracks room, nothing to do, so I started putting away my gear and all of a sudden I just got hit with a fit of crying. I'm sure it had to do with finally feeling safe for the first time in a while, but it was strange.

When I was in college within a span of about 3 weeks my dog died, my best friend was killed in Afghanistan, and my old tank commander was diagnosed with an aggressive stomach cancer (he died about 2 years later). All of this in such a short period of time put me in a really bad spot and my only way of dealing with that kind of pain (at that time anyway) was boozing...and after the boozing started I would usually end up crying myself to sleep. I spiraled out of control pretty quickly and almost ended up dropping out of school because I missed so much. I was in such a poor mental state being stressed out and then all the damned death and disease around me...as cliche as it sounds I think crying it out a bit certainly helped.

I wouldn't call that a stupid reason.

I don't think that's a stupid thing to cry about. It's a tragedy, they can bring tears.

Crying over a suicide isn't stupid bro. That's a sad story. I legit cried once because my car window wouldn't close properly and it was raining really hard (tbf I had to drive like 3 hours in that shit)

@GearSolidMetal .. I think that is a pretty good reason to cry. The whole story is pretty sad. Specially if you were a supporter and talked with her about what she was going through

+1 on that not being a stupid thing to cry over at all.

Like others have said you crying over that girls tragic death is not a stupid reason. Sorry to hear about your friend.

Nothing 'stupid' about that reason, whatsoever.

Thank you for your kind words.

I, against my better judgement, watched a few of her recent video-blogs and she announced she was moving down to Florida a week before her passing. She was excited for it and mentioned she had no idea how to transfer her medication prescription.

I had no idea she was on any medication at all, and in her last video (the one she said 'help me') she looked to be off her medication.

I'm not a doctor, but my guess was she was bipolar, or some variation of it.

This doesn't make it easier, but at least it is some kind of explanation for me to believe.


I grew up in a Baptist household, and one of the many things I've internally battled with since my childhood was the concept that everyone that isn't Christian goes to hell, and Christians that committed suicide weren't really Christian so they go to hell.

I didn't know this girl's religous background, but I do know she was the victim of child abuse - Physical, Mental, and Sexual. She was never able to form a healthy mind outside of that trauma, and perhaps the bipolar symptoms multiplied those issues within her mind. Her medication didn't rid her of the demons she was fighting, merely suppressing them temporarily by the pill. She had no idea what she was going.

If God is good and merciful, she's in a better place.
