I’m parked in front of my television and crying. (I decided to sit in front of the TV in a nest of blankets and knock out the rest of this Blog Project) It happens to me all of the time. I see a television program and something about it makes me well up. While I have been able to isolate this to moments when I am alone and it hasn’t become a problem that I can’t suppress while watching movies in public, it’s still fairly embarrassing to be sitting on the sofa at home watching a 16 and Pregnant and having your sister’s friends walk in and ask you why you’re blogging.
If you’ve read my blog on babies, you’ll understand that I cry whenever one of those irresponsible teens pops out a baby and finally realizes the gravity of what they’ve done.
The oddity to it is that in ‘real life’ I’m not an emotional person. I’m not a cold lump of stone, I just do not usually express what I’m feeling. I rarely ever sob unless I’m watching a TV show or movie. I don’t understand why.
For example, the show just changed to Tyra. I don’t watch this on a regular basis, and I don’t know much about it. Today’s talk-show topic is on things that people do around their children. There’s a crazy lady that thinks lounging around her kids naked all day is a teaching mechanism. It creeped me out and I got emotional and cried. Until it becomes a real issue, I’m going to embrace it as safe emotional release.
I think it is an emotional release. I would consider it one anyways. I mean hey I myself am not very emotional and rarely cry unless (like you) it is during a movie or tv show (not even then sometimes!) But I do have a random and annoying tendency to cry when I laugh, not laugh hard just laugh. I cannot control it (i have tried!!) but yes i consider that my emotional release haha
