Hey, welcome to the boards!  We are so much alike.  Everything you said describes me to a tee, except I'm more into men crying than women.  I think it has a lot to do with the stigma society has regarding crying men.  I don't subscribe to the stigma, obviously, but it is present in our culture and I think most guys do feel some sort of pressure not to cry.  It just makes it so much more special when it actually happens, because it really tells you something about your relationship with the guy if he's actually willing to cry to you like that.  That all being said, I am pansexual and I do still like a crying woman, especially if she's strong and likes to hide her tears.

Oh my GOD Yowza. I too have 'daydreamed myself to sleep' with these thoughts since I was a very young child. Literally almost every moment. Like Id be zoned out in class thinking about it and everything. I could almost cry myself right now because im not the only person who's like this hahaha!

YES!  This is totally me!  I'm so excited to hear of two other people who do this, because when I was new I said something about daydreaming myself to sleep like this and no one really seemed to relate to that.  It was the only way I could get to sleep as a kid, though, and I'd always be collecting scenes from TV shows and movies to reenact in my head with myself as the comforter.  Nowadays I mostly put myself and the bf into situations that make sense for us, although sometimes I'll still borrow stuff from books and movies, even if I usually insert both of us instead of just me.

Like, the scene where she just found out her mom died, and Piper just leaves her... It breaks/melts my heart. Like, she's just sitting on the edge of the bed completely broken, hardly able to speak she's so upset, letting the tears just flow down her beautiful face, obviously wanting and needing to be taken care of and Piper just leaves! Agh.

Omg, that scene got me, too!  I just wanted to climb right into the TV and comfort her.  She is soooo hothothothothothothot, too.  This show is the first time I ever found myself rooting for a character to cheat on their fiance.  Also, it makes me really happy that you brought that up, because before I even clicked on this post, I saw your username and wondered to myself if it was an OITNB referece XD

Oh. My. God. You have literally just described ME. That is exactly what I've done my WHOLE life since I can remember , apart from the liking men part ; it's just always been women for me lol. I have done it every night since I was a young child, fell asleep dreaming of me comforting someone I admire from TV or real life, normally TV characters though, or the popular older girl I was in school with at one point LOL. I often thought to myself, seriously what the F would this girl think if she knew?!
When I was younger I would actually spend every waking moment obsessing over it. I thought there was actually something deeply wrong with me and there couldnt possibly be another person in this world who has this same OBSESSIONS as me! Im so glad I found you lot! Lol.

That scene with Alex is a killer. This is the most embarassing thing but I've axrually sometimes found myself looking up GIFS of it on Tumblr and feeling the need to stroke her face and shoulder on the screen. What AM I? And the scene where she's crying in the library with Nicky. I find that one almost as heart wrenching as the mom scene, because it's like she's trying not to cry, trying to smile but her voice is breaking and in the end she had to just give up and turn her head, and im like nooooo, my poor baby... Let me squeeze you all better and rub those sexy shoulders. LMAO. Vulnerable Alex just melts me!

Movies torture us too. When I went to see The Fault In Our Stars last year, Hazel's anguished crying when Augustus died nearly caused me to lose it big time. I was absolutely floored by that movie

It REALLY warms my heart to think of all you strangers, in other places and (maybe) times, fantasizing about crying while you fall asleep just like me. You really are never alone in the human race.

Fantasizing about boys crying is a must for me every night. I don't think I've gone a single night without making up random crying scenarios in my head. It can range from anything; from a guy I know, a guy I never talk to, a made up guy, a break up, a bully victim, a young and confused new teacher that ends up running out of the room due to chaos, a death in the family, ANYTHING... Any guy, any scenario, I'm sure I've thought of them all. Fantasizing and daydreaming about those things is my way of recharging myself. It is a must.

Edit: Sometimes I even have to cuddle my pillow/blanket while doing so. A lot of the times, I don't even notice it. :O
