I have this problem'?' as well but if this goes on for to long when I do cry i cry hard and long, I also hear that crying every so often is supposed to be good for you so what I do is watch a emotional movie to help with the waterworks :"'"3
Funnily enough, that’s the exact same thing I do! I just finished watching Up, which is my go-to emotional movie whenever I’m trying to make myself cry, and I did for the first scene (you know The One), buuuuuut...... that was it.. which is. a first for me, cuz that movie always has me bawling like a fuckin baby for no less than 3 separate instances

I relate! Since January there haven’t been more than a few tears for me. I’m pretty sure it’s emotional numbness and if there’s something goin on in your life that’s too much to process your brain might be shutting down for a bit. If something’s going on, try writing down what’s happening and how it makes you feel or try talking through it with someone you trust if you want to process
Well, I’m glad to hear at least this isn’t just a Me problem. For me, it’s been happening on and off for like the last 1 1/2 - 2 years. I don’t really think there’s that much going on in my life other than the stuff that’s been bothering me throughout life before, and i never had any of this numbness then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Of course, it would probably help loads if i actually. ya know. talked about my problems lol
