Good one. Very good one. Somehow I almost forgot how it even felt to just read a new obs like yours, so...thank you and thumbs up 👍 It really meant something, definitely <3

Ok, so I never thought I'd had such an opportunity to do this one day, but there it is:
Today I had a colleague that felt tired and sad while some of us were having our lunch break, and she started to talk to me and another guy sitted right next to her, and there were very few other people around in our living room at work...
I was sitted in front of her, with a table between us. I just casually asked her if she was alright, and she only started saying she felt tired, and then I immediately noticed something was wrong with her. She was rubbing her forehead with one hand with her eyes closed and I never saw her do so...and then she opened her eyes and I could literally see tears welling up in her eyes. The guy next to her was telling us random stuff about the morning team he thought they were kinda' unfriendly towards us and she agreed with what he said, while I just shrugged about it because I didn't pay attention to them enough so it could bother me anyway...but I noticed it bothered her enough she looked like she was about to cry just for mentioning this subject, and then I just told her "you look like you're about to cry from tiredness", and it's something very unusual for us to talk about. Then she just carried on by saying: "yeah, I think this is kinda' like what I'd feel like to do right now...my mother told me the other day than my grandmother from my father's side wasn't feeling alright these last days and it might be the last time I could see her", and then I just nodded by saying: "I see, it's not helping to make you feel better these days, I understand...", and she just nodded me back and she started to close her eyes again, and her mouth started to shake a little, so I immediately knew she was about to melt down. So me and the other guy started to try comforting her. She put her head next to him while he was patting her on a shoulder and her head, and I held her a hand while rubbing it very gently...he just said "it's ok, it's ok..." and I said "go ahead

Hi there.

To answer you first question, I think STEM career paths does attract more people who prefer logical reasoning over feelings and emotions, so the two may be correlated. However, I know some people in my cohort and in different STEM fields that are quite emotional, so it does depend on the person too. 

Now moving onto your second question. It's been over a month since I started practising crying on cue, and I've gotten to the point where I could pull tears out of the blue in less than 10 seconds. I actually video recorded myself to observe how the tears fall. At first, large round teardrops would start to form within my eyes and barely hangs on the underlashes; when the weight of tears becomes too much, they fall rapidly (rarely touching my cheeks) and make this weird trajectory that almost looks like they're flying off my face at an angle. Sometimes when I'm not crying so hard, the teardrops would stream down my cheeks and gather at the tip of my chin, leaving shiny streaks on the cheeks. The tears on my chin would then drip off of my face like how water drips from a leaky faucet. 

I started doing this just for fun, but I think I'm starting to get addicted to crying. It's not great because I would cry several times a day for no apparent reason to the point that my eyes are almost always red and puffy. Needless to say, this activity is taking a toll on my mental health. I am slightly concerned that continuing would result in a loss of control over my negative emotions and cause me to spiral into depression. I have decided to give it a break for now, but maybe this "skill" will become useful someday. 
 

Hey, that looks great!
Just out of curiosity: did you notice at some point, while you were practising and recording yourself, where your tears were landing into and did it manage to form a puddle or kinda' like a puddle? If not, do you think it could happened, in terms of sheer volume, by any means?
Thanks for your sharing anywa

Hi !
I also like tears falling quickly and hearing them falling on a surface, just like you.
That being said, I mostly like it when it comes from sheer volume production: the more there are, the more I like it. My ultimate goal would be to watch a girl letting all of her tears fall in a focus point, over some smooth surface (let's say a table or a desk, for more convenient matters or obvious reasons), until it's shaping into a compact, unified small puddle (I don't know, maybe like 4 or 5 inches wide, at least)...

i know there are plenty of people on this board with their specific “thing”, the niche feature or type of crying that their fetish really zeroes in on, and mine is definitely… well, in a word, an excess of crying. lots of tears, big tears, tears pooling on surfaces or soaking fabric, long periods of time spent crying, heavy sobbing. just a little bit of crying doesn’t do it for me.

anyone else feel the same? what’s your favorite fix when this is what you’re craving? at this point i’ve taken to daydreaming scenarios.

Oh, yeah...definitely feeling the same! Unfortunately, I can only try to imagine it myself, pretty much, so yeah: "daydreaming" is truely the most appropriate word I could think of about that. Not without some disappointments or regrets that's not something happening more often (or let's say more "easily", at least) IRL though, obviously...
