I don't cry at a lot of things, but i never cry in the moment. I'm too self-conditioned to take care of everything else first, and then me. I pride myself on that... I can be strong for others when they need it (sure i show emotion but i don't cry) and then later, after all is said and done, I cry like a damn baby. I like taking care of the situation i'm in and setting aside my emotions.
Example: in my journal, i wrote about being told something horrible over the phone, and I thought someone very dear to me (like a sister) was dead, and then learned that she had only broken a leg. It took a good 30 minutes to regain normalcy from the shock, and then after i'd calmed down, I had a real good cry over the shock and the thought of loss.
Some emotional things make me cry almost right away, when there's no urgency: the loss of a loved SO. The movie "what dreams may come".... quiet tears through damn near half of it.
