Oh, fantastic, thanks so much! Okay, so the last episode of season 2 has basically everyone crying. Don't have time to look up the exact time moments right now, but yeah, Claire and Brenda and Ruth and David and Nate twice.

From now on I'll post them as I go, haha, so I don't forget.

Hazel, so they look brown or green depending on the light.

Okay, here's a clip! Spoilers, but it's a great scene. It's Nate breaking down in the second season finale (the second time in this episode, if you can believe it, and he's teary throughout, and David, Claire and Ruth also all cry in this episode) and is my absolute FAVORITE kind of crying (sobbing, being held, etc.)

Okay, so I'm having a bit of a hard time finding clips on youtube (well, except for spoiler-y clips from the last season) but suffice it to say that I'm on season 2, and ALL the characters have cried at least once, most of them more than once.

In fact, Nate cries (quite the way I like, actually sobbing and not just tears on his cheeks) twice in like five episodes. Unheard of.

There's plenty of female crying too, and all of the other guys cry at least once as well. I'll continue to hunt for links, but yeah I can also find which episodes for you guys if anyone's interested.

This is really interesting to me, for several reasons.

My fetish developed when I was really young, like elementary school, as did my sneezing fetish, and the rest of my story is kind of similar to yours as well. I'm still in high school, but about five years ago my mother was diagnosed with a mental illness (a strange one that they can't really treat, but that is mostly paranoia and depression and probably not, we hope, paranoid schizophrenic). I've since been told that she exhibited signs of mental illness when I was younger as well, but it was more so depression then, triggered apparently by my father's (alleged - I kinda refuse to believe it) abuse of her, and it was only in the past few years that she began staying in hospitals and taking medication for the paranoia, etc.

Now, my dad's great - he's always there for me as much as he can be - but the fact of the matter is that he cares about me much more than he cares about my mother - they were separated years ago - and there's only so much he can do. Plus, though we've gotten closer in the past year or two, they split up when I was very young, and I've never really lived with him. I don't know him too well.

Anyway. I don't have siblings, and I also have a pretty hard time at school, being bullied or whatever (wow, sorry, I don't mean this post to sound so self-pitying), and so there were/are it plenty of times where I felt very, very alone. I'm an only child, very few of my friends knew what I had to deal with until recently, etc.  So even though the fetish existed before I was consciously aware of my mother's issue, I wonder if they're connected. Because now it occurs to me that there were plenty of times I ran crying to my room and wanted, desperately, someone to comfort me, like in books (and incidentally, before I obsessively read fanfiction where the guy cries, I read fanfiction where the guy comforts the crying girl),  and then somewhere along the line, the focus shifted. I don't know.
