I'd be here for it. Would be a nice way to go to bed at night when my usual stash of crying videos doesn't do it for me.

@repressedjudie It's really hard to find videos on Smule unfortunately. No good way to search for crying.

Really like the first one, a bit of a shame she wipes her tears too often, and with tissues instead of her fingers, but still nice.

I personally prefer the use of tissues to most alternatives, so this is nice for me!

Long story short, I had a very brief obs today that made me feel awful. Normally, I don't have too big of a problem with this side of myself, but every now and again this overwhelming sense of guilt and shame just hits me and I feel really gross. I mean, I am literally attracted to a person's distress and vulnerability! And the sight and sound of my partner sobbing into a tissue is going to be burned into my memory forever! They don't like being emotionally vulnerable like that, and I don't blame them, but I at least want to be able to support them. Sometimes I worry that part of the reason they hate crying in front of me is because I'm a dacryphile and they know it. I would never judge someone for being emotionally vulnerable, and I want to be available to them if they need a shoulder to cry on. But no, the one person for whom I did fill that role left in July, and now I'm just left feeling guilty and gross for wanting to hold my crying partner.

Am I the only one who feels guilty over being a dacryphile? Does this make any sense at all? I just feel so gross right now.

So, I live with my partner, who is both an extreme extrovert and an observant Jew. This is relevant because the Jewish High Holidays started tonight, and rather than being able to celebrate in person with friends, we're stuck in quarantine for obvious reasons. I guess that combined with other news today brought them to a breaking point and they started crying in the kitchen.

I didn't catch the full scene, but what I did see involved their eyes glistening, though no tears fell, their voice breaking in conversation, and them using paper towels to hastily wipe at their eyes and blow their nose with their distinctive honk. No sobbing, and no touch happened, but I definitely appreciated the sight for what it was, even if I primarily wanted to support my partner. They said there wasn't anything I could do, so I accepted it. And that's the obs! I'm definitely feeling mixed emotions now, and I'm sure they understand.

Mine mostly involve me witnessing one of my crushes or partners breaking down in tears. I'd ideally like to hold them as they sob, and then provide tissues or a handkerchief for them to wipe their eyes/blow their nose. This process could be repeated multiple times over the course of a conversation, too. Or, if it's in a group setting, I might like the person to hold my hand as they start to cry, and at a certain point, they break down and start sobbing into my shoulder or chest. Ugh, I wish that would happen!!
