Why Do I Shed Tears Over My Friend

My friend never cries?

My bestfriend was with one of my other friends and they were riding fourwheelers. When my bestfriend turned around a car had hit his friend. When I found out he was dead I balled my eyes out and didn't know him as well but my best friend was good friends with him and did not shed a tear. Why is that how does he hold something like that in?

My friend kissed me today out of nowhere.What Should i have done/do?

Don't say nothing to anyone till you know whats going on. If this girl wants to be with you instead of your friend than i still would not say anything, but i would not do anything else with her until she breaks up with him. If you tell him all that's going to happen is your going to upset him, through a wrench in your friendship, If she does decide to stay with him instead of you will loose them both because he won't want to be around you. I would find out what her intentions are from this point and go from there. But like i said don't do anything more until it's decided and even then their is no need to tell him, you will do more damage if you do. in fact if you do tell it will only make you feel better for getting it off your chest you won't make him feel better at all. But be prepared you might loose the friendship over this girl is she worth it.

Do women like men who shed tears?

I agree with most of the answers written here. They all the say the same thing - it's reassuring to know that the guy doesn't have an emotional range of a teaspoon. So Yes. The fact that they feel safe enough to be vulnerable with that one person is something to be cherished, and I really like it :) According to me, crying is a personal outlet. You can have communication when things are out in the open. And sometimes, being vulnerable does that. On a personal note, my favorite 'moments' are:When a guy sneakily wipes off his tears while watching some really good, cheesy and romantic flick. When he truly is heart broken. Even a good, solid man cries. (and not whining like some people do. I do not like or appreciate emotional dependency or clinging in layman terms. So please do note the difference before you start 'barking up' at me.)When my favorite movie stars cry!! :DEvery time the German team has cried in disappointment. But this year was the best of all tears!! :D :D Yayyyy!!! Thanks for the A2A :)

Whenever I've lost a family member or friend, I've never shed a tear, and people get mad at me for not being sad about loss. Am I a sociopath?

Just because you didn't shed a tear doesn't mean that you're not sad. If you do feel sadness, even just a little bit, then chances are that you're not a sociopath. If you didn't feel any sadness, then chances are that you're not a sociopath. Let me explain.Sociopathy is not only about not feeling sadness. It is a defense mechanism for those who were abused at a young age and have the sociopathic gene. This would make the person have muted emotions and lower empathy. So if you still feel empathy or most emotions strongly, you're not one.Have you ever considered that you might not have liked your family members? That could be the reason why you didn't feel sadness or cried.

Why did I cry when I apologized?

You could have shed tears for a number of reasons. In that particular situation, it might be that you were finally feeling relieved for ending the argument that you cried. It could also be that you were still upset that you guys had an argument and therefore cried for that reason. Think about how you were feeling at that exact moment you apologized to him. If you were dreading talking to him, it could be that you shed some tears just anxiety of the situation. Confrontation can cause a lot of people anxiety, so you are definitely not alone in that if that's what happened. It could have been you really didn't want to fight, and all the anxiety over the confrontation of fighting, and just going and apologizing caused you to tear up. Regardless of the reason, the important thing is that you had the strength to apologize--that's huge! Don't focus so much on the crying, but on the fact that you apologized and can now hopefully, have a better situation to deal with your brother. Good job for apologizing!!

I shed tears on petty matters, I am male, Is something wrong with me?

I can closely relate to your situation. I have experienced the same, and over the period of time, I have realized that when you are hurt and shocked beyond measure, you go numb.Think of getting into a car wreck, where you have received multiple fractures and still conscious. Car crash victims and even people who lose a limb in accidents tend to experience this ‘numbness’, where you don’t even react to what has happened.To give a perspective, I have lost a cousin sister, a cousin brother, a couple of friends in a freak accident and all those times (they all happened in different timelines) I didn’t shed a tear. I remember to have sobbed uncontrollably after 3–4 months on some random situation. I remember dreaming of them and crying in my dreams, but seldom in person.Crux is that there’s nothing wrong in you. You are sensitive and thoughtful, ad what happens to you in that situation is close to ‘blunt force trauma’, wherein the victim doesn’t even feels that what has hit him. One last thing I forgot to mention is, that this seems to happen with people who are introvert. My worldly appearance is quite loud and in general people would tell you that I am of outgoing nature, but I am an introvert when it comes to speak what’s really going inside.Hope it helps.

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.?

"...for words left unsaid..." ~ After someone dies, it may be only then that we realize we had many chances to tell that person we love them, or miss them, or give them compliment,or tell them we were sorry.
"...and deeds left undone." ~ When someone dies we often wish we had kissed them, or hugged them, or visited more often, or answered their letter or email or text, we wish we had gone on vacation, or just listened or been more patient, or helped them when they asked or needed help.

Bitter is something that is very distasteful.

Once someone dies, we never have those chances again.

The tears we shed of regret are the bitterest of all.

My best friend asked me to watch A Moment To Remember and issued a warning that I must keep tissues ready as I'm bound to shed tears, but I didn't. Is this normal?

Emotions differ from person to person and they are dependent on place, medium and environment too. For example, Indian emotions are different from other countries in a large extent. If you show the same movie to elder ones they may walk away from beginning itself due to lack of connection with it. Emotions are reaction between you and what you connect with, the more intense the connection is, the more emotional you become.  You must be having this emotional connections with something else. Not necessarily that much intense which makes you cry.Your friend must be connected to it emotionally because he has a good bonding with it internally. His mind must be craving for that scenes and situations of the movie and he got emotionally attracted to it. No problem, it is a common difference between every two human beings.

Do guys ever cry in front of their guy friends?

Or talk about feelings or anything?

The reason I'm asking this is because I was watching the show House with my sister the other night. And House has been best friends with Wilson for 20 years (about) and they're super close. Wilson has terminal cancer and has just had a sh!tty life in general. He's in his car crying, like not just a few manly tears but like sobbing. And House comes and gets in the car and they talk for a bit and then Wilson (still crying) says this:

"I'm pissed because I'm dying, and it's not fair. And I need… I need a friend. I need to know that you're there. I need—I need you to tell me that my life… was worthwhile, and I… I need you to tell me that you love me."

I've never thought they were gay before (and I'm still not sure they are) but that seemed a little weird to me. My sister says they're not gay and I'm stereotyping guys. But doesn't this seem a little borderline to you? Guys: would you ever do this or think it was normal if your best friend said that to you? Sorry if I'm totally stereotyping guys here.
