SincerityAnna, I think we all do that regarding certain things.
Some of us are more sensitive to certain things than others. I guess that's what makes us all unique. But, I think we sometimes feel like we should be more emotional about some things because others are and therefore expect us to be also. If ya don't feel it, ya just don't feel it. And that's okay.

I can definatly relate...
but I seem turned more numb...to where I just don't care and to where I can look back and all of those things i remember but I cannont find feeling...other than the rage, which I direct all right back at its source...
But i find sometimes that I have no feeling for things that others do...like about tear-jerker movies...
I am almost turning insensitive rather than being so supersensitive.

Blocking out the pain is both healthy and damaging. Healthy if you need to do that to be able to survive, and damaging because eventually, in order to fully live and love, you need to be able to embrace the pain. Trust me, I know.
Oh and btw, I saw your comment in Kay-Ren's post to usurp my comment record--what a little traitor you are!!

Ariala, it is true about the toxins being released.
That's why we usually feel better after crying. I usually feel physically exhausted afterword (if it was a big cry) like the recent ones I've had cause of my Brittany dying. But in normal life days, I'm not a big tear gusher either. Wonder why we're that way?

I used to bottle it up too. I miss those days. Now I can barely get through a McDonald's commerial without the water works starting up. I hope you're doing okay, considering. Now to lighten the mood some. The title of your post made me laugh because it reminded me a little bit of myself. I wrote a new short story a day or two ago, and while I think it's a fairly nice little ditty, it is clear proof that I spend WAY too much time watching The History Channel and Sci Fi!

I'm like that, too...I rarely cry. I heard though, it's a good way to
release toxins...dang, I'm sure there are better ways?
