When I moved to my current place of residence. It also coincided with a death, so it was a double whammy.
I get teary almost every day - not from sadness, but from watching my kids have a positive experience or trying my best to tell them I love them.
But sort of real, proper crying was at my momโs funeral, before, during and after. That was three years ago.
When I watched "The Whale" at the movie theater. Half of the room was crying at the end.
3 days ago. It was the last day with my girlfriend until the Christmas period. I saw in my watch there was only 15 minutes before she needed to go. Something happened in my brain
At the last movie probably haha
This morning. I cry pretty regularly though. It's a good way to keep myself in touch with myself.
Whenever I last rewatched ATLA.
Happy cry: I watched Coda for the second time.
Sad cry: when I put my dog down.
I teared up a little yesterday watching Elemental for the first time. Last time I full on cried was when I watched Coco with my daughter.
Real crying? 7 years ago...
About four hours ago.
A coworker asked me if i was ok and i just broke down hyperventilatin and sobbing
Father's Day a couple weeks ago (in Australia). Something my 8yo daughter wrote in my card, reminded me of how my own dad isn't with me any more, and wasn't around to see me become a dad. Happens most Father's Days, to be honest.
Last week listening to one life by the last emperor
7 years ago, before the day my first dog was euthanized at the vet.
Either I've had it alright so far or my medication is keeping it in at this point...

Yesterday, while watching Beastars on Netflix, I shed some tears. Show's surprisingly good, despite its furry leanings.
But the last time I sobbed was during the finale of the Last of Us show. As a dad, that penultimate scene wrecked me emotionally.
God, yes, they did such a good job on the show. MASSIVE SPOILERS, but I loved how they handled the scene with Joel and the doctors. They cut it off, leaving it ambiguous whether he kills them or not, meanwhile in the game the player is given the ability to kill them, but is not forced to. It translates that perfectly.
Last week. Why? "You bow to no one"
30 years ago when I was 15 or so. From time to time it worries me a bit.
Last Monday driving to work after filing divorce papers for court date with my ex-wife.
I cry almost every day. Two kids under two can be exhausting sometimes, and I have a lot of stress and anxiety. They are awesome, I just can't handle it all the time. I'm lucky enough to have an awesome wife who's very supportive, so we'll get through it!
Dude anytime I watch something sad I cry.
"Ahh, just an episode of something before I got to bed," I innocently say to myself
I used to cry a lot and wish I cried more now. Last time I cried, and it was multiple times, was while listening to the narrated visual novel South Scrimshaw. If Pixar movies make you cry then I guarantee you this will. It excels in the same areas combining great world building, fantastical visuals, and a personal connection. However it does so with a completely different art style and completely different vibes, it's essentially an observational nature documentary.
