When did you last cry in front of another person?

It's been a while. I usually don't like to cry in front of people. I think the last time was a couple of Christmases ago when I got a surprise gift from my grandsons (actually their parents, they were too young, but it's the thought that counts.) For some reason, it moved me and I cried.

October 5th, 2001. It was during my friend's Memorial Mass which her family finally held after she went missing at the WTC. I held up okay until they had a soloist sing "Ave Maria."

I cry in front of my husband about once a month because I get so angry and frustrated, usually about the unfairness in the world or man's inhuman treatment of other men or animals.

I do think that. Maybe it's just because you hear so much nowadays about dysfunctional families, etc., but I had a very happy childhood.

I can't remember the last time I cried in front of someone. I did call up a good friend of mine on September 11th, though, and I cried a little with her for a couple of minutes.

A couple days ago, in front of my husband. But I hate to cry in front of anybody else. I try to avoid that at all costs.

Cannot remember - I dont usually show emotions to people - I keep it private, when Im alone I cry sometimes - but I haven't for a long time.

The last time I cried in front of someone else was about 4 months ago when I had the flu so bad I thought I was going to die! I totally reverted to childhood, called my Mother, blubbering like a fool, and begged her to come make me better.

Egads. I cry all the time. So, crying infront of others isnt that big a deal. I think the last time I cried was when my son had 2nd degree burns from the sun and I had to change his bandages.

The last time I cried in front of another person was a few weeks ago, and it was my Mom that I cried in front of. Unless you count several days ago when I cried in front of my cat Sylvie. My Mother consoled me, talked to me, offered advice, prayed for me, and stayed with me until I felt better. Sylvie, well, she just stared at me and rubbed up against me a few times.

it's been QUITE some time since that's happened. I don't know when or why, but it sure wasn't recent. It takes a little extra to get me going.

I cried in front of my boyfriend two days ago because we were talking about our bleak and non-existent future together, but before that it had been months.

Johanna, 18

I cry all the time. At church, at sad movies, reading the story in the newspaper, On Sept. 11th everyone at work was crying. I cried 4 times at the kid's movie Toy Story 2, that my son David will not go to the movies with me anymore.

Two days ago at a wedding...those things get me every time!

sadly, it was in front of my mother, watching philadelphia... i know, not very manly, but i'm a really emotional person and it's such a beautiful film. i have such strong feelings about injustice that it brought tears out of me, and it also made me feel good that i could feel that way and express myself like that. crying makes me proud of who i am, interestingly. i need to cry to know when i feel very strongly about things. for me, crying is also an indicator of when i'm very emotional about things - sometimes i joke that i have a "boy period" because i have a few days every so often when i'm just very hugh-strung and touchy. but i'm happy about that.

At  Adam Bishop's ( http://dmoz.org/Bookmarks/H/hikaruchan/Adam ) funeral. I went with my friend Amber, and it was horribly sad, because he died under terrible circumstances. It's hard not to cry at a funeral like that.
