The only time I ever cried when I was happy was when I was watching Transformers 2 and Bumblebee looked like he was going to be killed or something and I was like "NOO!!" and getting all sad and then he was saved and I was like "YESSS! SWEET JESUS YESS!"
Even to this day I don't understand it but tears of joy were shed for the first time in my life that day. Tongue
It was a good feeling though smile


LOL! but i cry a lot too watching tv, movies. even if someone won a beauty pageant and were crying i can have tears rolling down my cheeks. i almost choke on the tears hehe smile

i don't really cry if i'm happy or sad. i only ever really cry if i'm angry/frustrated.
i'm not sure why other people cry when they're happy though.


maybe those are tears of sadness?

that kind of sensitivity is a gift, poisson. not everyone has the capacity to be that way. the rest of us are about a 6 to your 10 on the scale in terms of where our feelings take us. i've never been that way though so i don't know how annoying it is to have to deal with having that depth of feeling all of the time. i do sometimes think that water signs have it harder than the rest of us in terms of working through karmic debt. it can't be easy to be that emotional.


true. most water sign posts are highly emotionally charged, with gushings, expletives, tears, curses, vulnerabilities (takes strength to be vulnerable though), as opposed to earth sign posts, that are leisure discussions, analysis, practical solutions, guarded. amazing to see the element influences in our posts.
