Kind of the same for me. More baffling for me, however, is the range of discrete emotions she was able to categorize. If I tried, I would probably end up with buckets "upbeat", "fine", and "down".

I found this article very fascinating.

I also had no idea.

The article is just one person's experience, though, and I'm assuming they're an outlier. I don't think most people cry often enough to consider keeping a diary of it, but I really don't know.

To counterbalance the article's author, I've cried maybe three times in the last 4 or 5 years, and that covers a pet dying and a break up from a long relationship.

Ya I don't understand it either, but it seems that other commenters are the same. I once went on a date with a guy who told me he sheds a tear daily -- until now I had never heard of anyone doing that.

People don't. This person does ... and I think it's ok.

Same. I haven't cried since i was a little kid in the 90's. I've always found strange when people cry at movies and such.

Not being critical or anything, but I was also floored. My spouse and I pretty much never cry. Different strokes, I guess.

I know, right? People don't usually discuss these things publicly and you just sort of assume that everyone's relationship with crying is the same
