i wouldnt necessarily call them strangers, just aqaintances. sorry for the confusion. with friends its usually more so, i gravitate to people who are more sensitive and in tune with their emotions. it makes it easier to let it out when i need to. as for shedding multiple tears, they usually drip off some parts of my face and the streaks go every which way, which usually results in my face just being completely wet, kinda like you talked about. sorry for the late reply, things have been kinda stressful on my end with the corona virus situation.. but i have shed quite a lot of tears, so there's that!!!

thanks, i honestly just chose that name because i just find falling tears so beautiful.

it really just depends on the person, if its someone i dont know and they see tears falling they usually just hand me a tissue or give me a hug. if they hug i always just let my tears fall on their shoulder, im not ashamed or anything, i never have been. with my s/o and close friends i let them wipe them away and hold me. i've gotten a lot of shirts soaked through because of it lmao. 

with my own crying it also depends, if im just a little upset a tear will slip out hollywood style, they're usually pretty big though so there are still remnants of the drop on the cheek after it falls. when im really sobbing, tears get everywhere. ive noticed sometimes multiple tears will fall from the same eye at the same time. i dont really know why the volume of them are so big, i do have really big eyes so maybe it's easier for them to spill out. at this point im usually sobbing a little and i always cover my mouth (weird instinct) and the tears drip onto my hand. 

hope i answered your questions okay!! x

hi all! im totally new, but a longtime lurker. i made an introduction on the introduce yourself page so feel free to check that out if you want to know more about me.

basically the background is that one of my significant others (im polyamorous) is going through a tough time. i wont get into details but its been pretty rough for him financially. anyway he's pretty sensitive, and i feel honored he trusts me enough to come to me and be this vunerable. he's one of the rare male significant others ive had that lets his tears fall unchecked.

to be fair, i was the one who started crying first. we were sitting on the couch watching a movie, trying to get our minds off things. he had his arm around me, and i was snuggling into his chest. i couldnt stop thinking about the situation and how hard it was for him and tears rushed to my eyes. i could feel one cold tear slide down my temple and into his chest, but i guess he didnt notice/feel the wetness. my other eye flowed too and went right into my hair. i wiped the remnants discreetly because i didnt want him to see me upset. i pulled myself together after that but a few minutes later i felt him breathing heavily and shaking a bit, obviously hiding sobs. i turned to look at him and there were tears gathering on the bridge of his nose, his eyes red and his lashes wet and glistening. i asked him if he was okay and he shook his head and sat up slightly to hug me. the tear that had gathered at the bridge of his nose slid down rapidly and settled into his lips and i kissed it away, it was slightly warm. i gently wiped the track and hugged him, there was one that escaped from his other eye too and i waited until it reached his chin before brushing it away. i noticed some wet spots on his shirt too, i guess i hadn't noticed them fall.

by this point i was crying too. again lol. i think he said something like "Why are you crying" in a really broken voice. i buried my face in his chest and tried to laugh it off but i think he felt th
