My crying mechanism is all messed up. My dad, whom I loved dearly, passed away recently and I never shed a tear. I’m very sad about it, but the tears just don’t come.
And yet… even if I have no idea what’s going on, just hearing the sound of someone else crying always sets me off. I empathy cry all the time, at the drop of a hat.
That happened to me before with my grandma. We were very close and I was devastated she passed but I couldn’t cry about it. But then 7 years later the flood gates opened and I cried every time I thought about her for a while.
