The Lounge » How are you doing? (Really) » October 16, 2024 3:15 am |
Hey friends. It's been a minute. Last time I posted on here was the last night I drank. I haven't since, and don't plan to again. I say that to be transparent. To be vulnerable with you people that I really don't know- but it would feel odd not to, when we all share in this somewhat taboo, vulnerable thing.
I am doing okay. I think there is hope on the horizon. But I know that I am not the only one on here going through something. Almost everyone I know in real life is going through this secret hell they keep all to themselves until they can't anymore. Maybe thats just part of growing up. I think that was one of the things that made it so easy to numb myself into obvlivion: we never really talk. Not about real shit. Certainly not with strangers.
I grew up religious. I'm not anymore. But I remember church being somewhere where people DID talk about their hurt and their pain. And they do at AA, NA, all the anonymous kind of groups. Is it odd to you at all that we don't really talk to one another otherwise? I mean, isn't the struggle, the pain of our lives, and fuck, the grief, some of the strongest connecting threads we share?
So anyway. Yadayadayada. I figured maybe we could all use a space to vent. So vent away. And no, I'm not posting this to hear your self-observations about crying, although if that feel relevant, go ahead. I'm posting this because a month ago I felt so alone, and now I don't, and I just want anyone who may be on here feeling that way to know that they have a place to convene with other people who feel the same.
All the love, and don't drink your pain away,
Cas
Crying Discussion » I am not doing okay (Roleplay) (doesnt HAVE to be sexy) » September 18, 2024 5:11 am |
Hello there internet strangers.
God, how sad is this. I'm close to so few people. I grew up awkward, different. I was an odd child. On the spectrum. Sweet, beautiful, self depricating. Self hating. I'm a lovely person now, but i lack closeness in a platonic sense. The only people I love romantically love me platonically. My heart is heavy. I treat alchohol like a numbing agent. I come by it honestly.
Tonight, I cry in my heart, but I am so lonely. I crave the intimacy of crying with one of you. Any of you so long as you dont harm me. My heart is scarred for this month from an event that left me afraid of of affection, but I wish I could be held as i outwardly sob. I feel my cries unreleased in the center of my chest, bloated like a meal undigested. I need to scream and cry and sob against someone's chest, til my tears run down their shirt and stain it wet, til my aching sobs ring through like a bell in your chest as well as mine. How would you hold me? What would you say? How would you comfort me as i weep? I long to live in this role play, fake as it may be, in the pain of my present isolation. Paint me a picture, fiction as it may be. How would you hold me? Woukd you cry with me, sob for sob, shudder for shudder of breath unrestrained?
For referance, unabashadly, perhaps boastingly, i am beautiful. Soft and supple figured. Big, dark eyes full of tears unshed. Prominent cheekbones and a dimpled chin. Curly hair the color of wheat with warm streaks of warm chocolate. My stomach, chest, full of sobs, my eyes full of tears. Allow mw this in my soft intoxication: what would you do? How would you hold me, soothe me, allow my tears to fall? How would you get me to sob, and further more, comfort me as i do, if only to fufill this pounding ache in my chest?
Forgive me this ask, acheing as it is. I need to feel close to someone, anyone, in my unshed tears

Oh, I agree on both accounts. As a generalized obs, as I've seen both men and women cry, women tend to let you hold them, hold their hand, wipe their tears, and men will sometimes let you hold them, but not always. And as far as aestheticism I very much have to agree. Lately I've tended to take pictures after I cry because i actually think it makes me look very pretty.

So it's a funny thing, they usually are always just lots of tear streaks, but I guess because I cried in two different positions i think the streaks got all mixed up. But you know what, my skin looks great today, so I'm not too mad about that.
I don't really wanna share any details about them if thats okay- I know it's not like they'd come on here and see it, but there's some part of me that just wants to respect their privacy. Sorry friend!! Now, if at some point I have a friend or partner who shares in this special intrest, I'll be happy to share obs with their permission!

Hey there, long time no see.
Watched a pretty good move that had its own crying scene that really hit me (The Meyorowitz Stories, Ben Stiller), and during that scene, the one where he cries, I definitely found myself crying too. Just hot tears down the sides of my cheeks. And then after, as the movie wrapped up, it felt right to cry again. I don't cry really unless someone gets mad/yells at me, so when I cry of my own volition, i try to get it all out at once. But this time, every time i tried to let out a sob i just had to yawn. But many many hot tears. Felt good but fully crying would have felt more cathartic.
Now, the time i FULL on cried before that? Very cathartic. Had this realization that the person i love loves me as a friend, and i may just have to come to terms with that being all it ever is. Moment I drove away from her, turned on some classic sad girl jams and starting crying. Was funny to imagine peoples looks and reactions as i stopped at an intersection. Very stressful though because my GPS kepy rudely interrupting lol. More cries lately than usual. Ive been the therapist friend lately, and I like that role- i like to be able to lead people to greater happiness. But I've held 4 or so friends as they've sobbed lately amd wiped their tears from their cheeks (and I will not be making obs of them, I'm not comfortable doing that) and it maked me so sad sometimes that i am not held while I do. Ive noticed a taste to my tears lately- tangy and sweet like lemonade. Odd, as im at my healthiest now- but maybe thats how tears of sadness taste.
Omg little silly thing i did tonight though- when i cried my face got COVERED in tears after a while (i was leaning back at first and they pooled around my ears and jaw- and then leaned forward and they weny down my nose and down my jaw/chin to my neck and chest. Anyway, used my tears as extra skincare. Probably not good for me but it fely oddly comforting. Little tear face massage. 10/10 reccomend.
Honestly, I'm ju

Stressed today and just need to see some g-d good acting. List me off some of the best movies you know with male crying scenes. The requirements?
An actual breakdown, not just teary eyes or something. This may or may not sound weird but I need the catharsis of someone else sobbing because I just don't have the energy to right now.
-Preferably "hot" peoole but I use this term loosely. When I saw hot I don't mean conventionally attractive necessarily. Certainly not "pretty criers." Use your best judgement. If you think they're hot, I probably will too.
-a dude. A guy. A man. What have you.
Bonus points if the movie is:
Tragic
Compelling
Emotional throughout
Super gay
Well-written
Has prettt cinematography
Not something I'd necesarrily have seen before. Id rather watch something unique tonight. Ready set go, try to get back to me quick!
Crying Discussion » Do you remember your first time? » June 20, 2024 2:05 am |
Okay so in real life? I was 6 or 7, and it was this kid a little older than me that I was going to VBS with (idk why i find the fact that this awakening happened at a church related event so effortlessly funny.) I cant remember why he was crying, only that it made my palms hurt in this weird good way. Idk why, but my palms always hurt when i see someone crying. I don't know if thats an empathy thing or an attraction thing. Maybe its a mix.
On tv: 6 years old. Monsters and Mazes. 80s Tom Hanks: "Kate, why can't i remember"

The Mothman Prophecies, he cries at about an hour and 34 minutes in. The downside is that for most of the crying you don't actually see him, you just hear him. You see a little bit. Twice, actually, just a few minutes later he does again

Leo Woodall noticably tears up/sheds tears/sobs several times in Netlix's One Day miniseries.
In episode 5, in one scene with his mom tears up sonewhat. Just after, during one scene with his father, his eyes fill up with tears. Only a short while later, leaving a voicemail for his friend, he tears up, voice cracks, sheds a tear and gasp-sob-cries for a breif little while. Wish the music was quieter in that scene.
In episode 12, during a conversation with the same friend about his daughter, voice cracks and I think he sheds like 2 tears.
Later in the same episode, holds back tears until she leaves the room and can't keep them at bay anymore. Not so much sobbing, but deeply emotional nonetheless.
In episode 14, which I will not spoil the reasons why he cries, he is emotional throughout most of the episode. He drunkenly sort of cries for a moment early in the episode. About midway through, he has a longish scene where he sobs on his childhood bed. No tears that you can really see, but again, very emotional. Later on, he sheds several several tears. You see them drip down the tip of his nose as he's looking down. Tremendous actor, you absolutely feel his pain
