QOTD 06/3 Emotions
 

Are you the type that gets misty eyed or emotional when reading an impactful book, watching sappy movies or tv ads?

I just finished reading "The Boy" and it got me a little misty eyed as I concluded the story.

Certain commercials choke me up, especially ones about animal abuse or neglect. I have to look away b/c it really gets to me.

The last movie I cried over was A Star Was Born and every time I hear The Shallow the hairs raise on my arms. I don't cry over it but it almost does. It was such an impactful song in the movie.

So, I guess I'm just a big ole gushing fool LOL

I totally cry in books, movies, tv shows - commercials not so much- but I'm an easy cryer too! ;)

I'm not much of a crier per se, but last night I did get teary when I was watching AGT and they had a blind autistic man perform beautifully. They were happy tears for him.

Yep!!
I feel like I get teary-eyed/cry often but the other day DD2 said she had never seen me cry.

Yep, I get emotional very easily with things I'm reading, watching or listening to. Practically on a daily basis. Watching videos of the soldiers coming home is a big one.

When I got pregnant with my daughter, I became an emotional person. I mean, I also cry and get frustrated with all the stories in books and movies I watch before, but when I got pregnant and until now, I easily get emotional with anything. Would you believe that I cry when the last episode of Phineas and Ferb was shown? Yep, I totally did. I feel like it was too shallow but I got touched. When we watched How To Train Your Dragon 3 in the cinema in April, I was surprised by the ending and I cried and I felt embarrassed. :o:o:o

I definitely cry watching movies and reading books. Commercials - not yet!

Depends on the situation, honestly most of the time everyone would tell you I'm cold, and most of the time I am...except when it comes to my kid. I do get teary eyed at certain things, especially moments in shows, movies or songs that I can relate to. I used to be more emotional and when I was pregnant I was crazy emotional! Ever since my grandmother died that emotional spark inside me died with her.

I tear up, but I rarely cry. I can't even remember the last time I cried real tears...and I said good-bye to my parents & Target a few months ago, so that's saying a lot.

But my kids are THE WORST because they will look at me and be all, "MOM, ARE YOU CRYING???" and then I stop feeling sad and start feeling like I might punch those jokers in the face.

I get teary eyed from watching movies and listening to some songs. Some very emotional ones, I'll definitely cry, if they send the right message.

Ha! This is totally me too.

I've always been a sensitive person and would get teary eyed. BUT the older I get the more I seem to tear up at even the littlest things.

I often tear up at movies, songs, books, tv shows (and once in a blue moon, will absolutely sob during one of the above)...but I rarely cry or even get misty-eyed about any real-life stuff.

Yes. All of the above + more.

This is partly (mostly?) why:
HSP

I am super sensitive. I'm very careful about what I watch, read, listen to, or even allow people to tell me :p

I remember watching The Lion King in the theater with my niece when she was about 6. I was crying when Mufasa died. She looked right up close to my face and asked if I was crying. LOL!

No, but I also don't like those types of books/movies so I don't get a lot of exposure to it and that could be why.

I took the self-test....no surprise...I tested high with being highly sensitive.

I cry much more during movies than real life emotional events. lol

yes, I do and I avoid it at all costs... I don't have a lot of downtime, so I want to be happy and laugh, not cry. Seeing animals hurt slay me...

Me too....seeing animals hurt really gets to me. I couldn't finish watching the Planet Of The Apes movie (the one with James Franco) as I found it so upsetting. The same with King Kong.

I'm a pretty stoic person, and don't cry a whole lot, but I do get emotional over animals, children, etc. There are a few commercial I can't watch without tearing up over though. This one kills me every time:

I did it once in front of my son and felt so silly, but he was sweet about it; said I had a gentle soul. Didn't want to punch him at all. LOL

I would like to say I don't cry at books/movies/tv shoes/FB videos but that would be a lie :D

I usually watch things alone if I think they'll make my eyes leak lol.

Yes !! I didn't before I got pregnant but during & after pregnancy, I became so emotional. I thought that it would go away after giving birth but no....I can cry about the silliest things.

Only when I'm pregnant!

Same, no surprise. I've always been sensitive.

Same animals really upset me. I used to watch Animal Planet a lot, but those reality vet shows tear my heart apart.

Ya, me too...I can only watch certain shows on the Animal Planet. Anything with rescues, surgeries, etc I have to avoid b/c it'll just bumm me right out and I start crying.

Sometimes.

I used to cry easily at just about any sad part in any movie, TV show or book. These days it takes a lot more for me to cry than it used to. Even when I feel the emotions the way I used to, the tears don't come the same way.
