Wow! This was amazing (although I know its not real) could have fooled anyone. It was written so vividly I could picture every detail like I was there watching in real time.

i really don't cry much in real life, and when i do i'm not really in the headspace to analyze it. i hope to deliver my own self-obs one day, but for now i'll use this character! this was a lot of fun, i'll definitely write more. if anyone wants to reply "in-character" like this character's a real person on the forum, feel free! 

I love this one! Super feel for the fictional poster tho, poor thing =(
Def post more if you like making these

[thank you all for the kind words <3]

i'm starting to think writing down my self-obs is making me cry more. i mean, i've always cried a lot, pretty much every day. but i have this tendency to not let myself fully break down and cry, especially when i'm in public or busy with something else. i feel really shy about it, and i get self-conscious about the fact that just about anything can make me tear up. but now that i'm thinking about it in terms of "hey, the forum might appreciate this" i feel more inclined to just let it happen.

all that to say... another obs for yall. i think it's another good one. spoilers... i cried for about three hours straight. 

i wake up feeling teary most days, but i almost never cry in the mornings. it tends to make me tired for the rest of the day, and i don't want to get distracted by crying and be late for work or class. but, it's the weekend, so no work or class today. so instead of wiping the tears away, composing myself, and getting up for the day, i tried to relax and let the tears come. i was lying on my side in bed, so the tears soaked into the pillow under my cheek and dripped across the bridge of my nose. it was easier than i thought to just let myself start to cry, and my eyes filled up with even more tears. 

i mentioned in my last obs that feeling of my eyes constantly filling with tears, never fully draining ever when i'm crying a lot, and that happened again this morning. there weren't any moments after i started crying where i was just tearing up, with not enough tears in my eyes to spill over. it was basically constant. there were so many tears they started forming this little pool at the corner of my eye before they dripped over my nose bridge onto the pillow. lying on my side, i could see my alarm clock on the nightstand, so i know i cried like that for about twenty minutes, before the tears slowed down a little bit and i sat up to blow my nose. there was a huge soggy patch on my pillow already from the tears, it was pretty impressive. i thought i would stop crying once i sat up, but the tears kept welling up, and just in the time i was sitting up they had started rolling down my cheeks and dripping onto my pajama shirt, so i decided to just lay back down and keep crying.

i was starting to sob a little at that point, so i turned my face a little further against the pillow to muffle the noise. i wasn't crying very hard but i felt like the tears were just pouring out. i totally soaked my pillow crying for another hour or so, and at that point it was getting kind of uncomfortable to basically be facedown in a pool of my own tears, so i sat up and tried to stop crying, but it didn't work. i just kept hiccuping and sobbing when i tried to steady out my breathing, and the tears were just... flooding out. i cry a lot, and usually with a lot of tears involved, but i swear it was like someone just turned a faucet on. i couldn't keep track of the streams the tears were flowing down like i usually do, there were just so many, and they were dripping onto my pajamas and getting everywhere... i ended up just hugging the pillow to my chest because it was already a casualty and letting the tears fall onto that. and i just... stayed like that for another hour and a half, soaking the pillow with tears and sobbing quietly. but after that i was getting a really distracting splitting headache, so i got up to drink some water and eat breakfast, and the tears slowly stopped over the next ten minutes or so.

honestly, i probably could have cried for even longer than i did. maybe if i'd eaten something and drank some water before i started crying i could have settled in for a really long haul. maybe something to do next weekend, lol!

exciting news: i actually have an obs to share that isn't just a self-obs!

i don't have any classes this week, but there was a guest lecture in one of the big lecture halls this morning that i decided to go to. there weren't a ton of people and i was sitting in the back, and there was this girl sitting a few rows in front of me and a few seats to the right, so i had a really good view of her. i noticed that she kept checking her phone in a worried sort of way, but i didn't think anything of it until i saw her shoulders start shaking right after the lecture started. she set her phone face-down on the desk, next to a piece of paper she had gotten out, presumably to take notes, and then she started to cry. her head was lowered, and tears started dripping from her eyes, landing on the paper and soaking in. she crossed her arms on the desk in front of her, so some of the tears dripped onto her sweater sleeves, but a lot of them hit the paper. she wasn't crying loudly, but her shoulders were shaking a lot, and she kept dripping tears. the lecture was a couple hours long and she cried the whole time, just like that. her sleeves and the blank paper were starting to get completely soaked by the end. 

everyone filed out after the lecture, including the prof, who didn't seem to notice she was crying (she and i were sitting pretty far up in the seats, and she wasn't making a big display of it) but she stayed there, and after a minute i went down and sat next to her. i told her i didn't mean to be weird or pry, but i saw she was crying and was wondering if she was okay.

i was kind of expecting her to tell me to leave, but instead she straightened up a little and turned toward me. she was still crying these big round tears, and her eyes were so full that once she was sitting up they flowed pretty continuously down her cheeks. she didn't even wipe them away, she just let them fall. we talked for a bit, she told me she had gotten some bad news, which i guess is why she'd been checking her phone right before she started crying. i won't go into detail because it's her private stuff, but we talked about it for a bit and she cried the whole time. her voice was relatively steady aside from a couple of cracks but the tears just kept coming. after a bit i asked if she wanted a hug, she nodded, and i held her for a while. she was just quiet at first and then she started to sob. she tried to pull away and apologize, but i told her it was okay, and she held on tighter and sobbed into my shoulder. 

eventually i started tearing up too listening to her cry. i tried not to break down, i didn't want to make it weird for her, but i couldn't keep the tears from falling. when the sobbing eased up after a while and she sat back, i apologized for crying and she said it was fine, it was kind of nice to have someone else cry for her.

it was getting kind of late at that point, and we were just sitting in an empty lecture hall. i asked if she lived on campus, and she said yes, so i walked her back to her dorm. she was still crying, less heavily, but her eyes were really teared up and tears would occasionally roll down her cheeks. i wasn't crying anymore, but i did choke up a few times. we ended up sitting in the common room of her dorm for a bit, just talking. her eyes stayed welled up with tears basically the whole time, and the occasional huge tear would roll down her cheek and drip onto the front of her sweater, which had damp little tearstains all down the front. eventually we traded phone numbers and went our separate ways. i'll keep yall posted about her!

my self-obs feel a lot less interesting in comparison. i've been crying for my whole drive to work these past few shifts, and then at least a couple times a shift, and sometimes on the drive home. i really need a new job. :/
