Wow. That was pretty masterfully done. I'm totally crying now.

(Incidentally, the following is a real quote from a member on a mom message board I used to post on, after some sad chick flick came out:

"It was so sad! It just made me want to ball all night long!"

Hmm... not the typical response to sad movies, but whatever floats your boat I guess!)

I guess I failed to realize that ball isn't a homophone for bawl. heh.

Ian's observation about shame and environmental effect on our emotional expression is so true. Being caught crying = bad, bad idea. Maybe it's environmental + an ENFP thing (that confounding Fi? and paranoia?) but I've been told I have a good poker face and can be very hard to read. Of course, when I'm doing that, it's intentional and takes a proportionate amount of effort to whatever emotion I want to be expressing.

Then again, after too many years of self-regulating emotional expression, it becomes more fundamental and problematic and I get out of touch with myself.

I envy people who can cry and get angry and own their emotions and express them instantly, authentically, in the moment. Emotions don't have to make sense or even be appropriate folks.

Yes, I aspire to be XSFX.

I wish I were courageous enough to just let myself cry...I hate letting my emotions simmer and stew inside me. And I hate that no one ever knows how I REALLY feel. I always come off as some sort of unfeeling robot. =(

I would say, that on average, I cry two to three times a month. Even though I hate crying in theory, whenever I do...hot damn does it feel good!!!
