I see a lot of new people here, so, this is for all, trying to know a little bit more of each other. I will start.

How often do you cry (average): once every several months.
How intense do you cry: tears falling down cheeks, rarely sobbing.
Reaction to tears: Usually wipe tears when starting to fall, sometimes allow tears to fall unchecked, seldom wipe them from cheeks.
How long does your average crying fit last: less than 5 minutes.
Cry alone, someone you trust, don’t mind crying in public: I don’t like to cry, but if no option better with wife. I would be very ashamed if crying in public.

Gender: Non-binary/Genderfluid
How often do you cry: A few times a month on average. Sometimes more if my depression acts up.
How intense do you cry: Anywhere from eyes welling up to intense sobbing and shaking.
Reaction to tears: Will let them fall up to a point, then will wipe them with my hands or with tissues.
How long does your average crying fit last: At least several minutes. Can be on and off for hours at worst.
Cry alone, someone you trust, don't mind crying in public: I don't like to cry too badly in public, but I don't mind if a few tears fall. I do prefer to cry either alone or with someone I trust, though.
Do you like to cry: When I'm feeling really upset, I like to cry to release it all. Before I started HRT, I used to not be able to cry as much as I would like, but now my emotions are a full-body experience, and crying can be a good release.
Do you like to be comforted when crying, how: Absolutely. If I can cry in someone's arms, I very much enjoy being comforted.
