I guess we were both consoled by our teachers, and her parents were there as well to console her, so we didn't really console each other in the moment. But we did text some apologies and comforting words to each other later, apologies as we both blamed ourselves for losing, and we encouraged each other saying the other person did really well and to not feel too bad as reaching the final itself was a great achievement. My reaction in the moment, looking past my frustration, was just to admire how beautiful she was in tears, she didn't particularly react to me. We've both seen each other cry before, she's generally a sensitive girl who cries if she loses more than a few marks in exams, and like I said, I've been quite tearful the last year or so, and I used to be a real crybaby in my pre-teens as well, and we've been classmates since then, so I don't think it was particularly awkward or uncomfortable for us to cry in front of each other, and given the situation, to even cry in front of others.

Yes, it's pretty much the same. Speaking of crying in front of a female friend, I just posted an obs where that happened. In fact, in the obs, you could argue that I was technically crying in front of multiple people, but that's a very unique circumstance, and still the main person present there was one of my closest female friends, and I did wipe my eyes without letting the tears come out. I'll check out the link now.

I think its just instinct. I know for a fact that the other person can clearly see that I'm crying, and also that I don't need to be ashamed unless I'm at fault and throwing a tantrum (as I only cry around very close friends or family), but I still do it anyway out of instinct.

Sorry, I'm brand new here, moderators, if this is not in the correct format, please correct me. I'll fill in the details provided in the READ THIS post.

Sex: Male

Orientation: Straight

Age: 18

Location: I'm not very confident enough to share this, do I really have to?

Interested in: I like female crying. I do like the process of my own crying, though being "turned on" is a bit too strong a statement to make. I'm still figuring out if my attraction to crying itself is sexual, I think it is. The last question is a bit hard to answer, I just like seeing a girl shedding and wiping tears.

Interest in forum: I was just googling stuff like "being attracted to tears" and what not and found this website through a psychology article. I guess it makes me feel less weird that there are other people who think tears are beautiful and not just me. I guess I would be interested in pictures and videos as I do like watching crying scenes from movies even though I don't really watch movies.

Your own crying: I do cry fairly regularly, about once or twice every couple of months, I went through a phase from puberty till early last year when I didn't cry much at all, but since last year I've been crying fairly regularly. Since I haven't experienced anything tragic and most of my crying is for relatively harmless reasons, I do actually enjoy crying, especially when I'm alone and don't have to hold back. I'd be too shy and scared to share pictures, sorry.

Other fetishes: None that I'm aware of, maybe female hands, but not really, I just think some of the girls I know have really pretty hands.

Yourself in general: One of my main hobbies is playing football/soccer. I'm just an average teenager, maybe a bit geeky or nerdy according to some as I'm very good at academics, but besides that I don't think I'd qualify as a geek or a nerd. I'm not really into music or movies, but I do like FC Barcelona, the football club.

I hope that is sufficient. I think at this point I don't really know
