I can't remember the last time I honestly cried, just cried.

I know that for the most part, I see it as a weakness, an unneeded action that helps and changes nothing. At 27, I am learning that while it may not change much, it does help ... but having not really experienced it, I don't know how it works. And I've also learned that it's really hard to 'force' yourself to cry.

I have dropped tears, but I have seen crying, and I know it's not the same. And the only time that ever happens is when I'm listening to music. It doesn't really matter what kind of music, but I guess gospel will do it faster than the rest.

So, I guess what I'm wondering is ...
If you don't have a problem with crying, what do you feel it does for you?
What do you do when you want to cry, but can't?
Why do you feel you can or can't cry?
What do you think makes for a 'good cry?'

EDIT:
I have another question: do you think it's easier to cry for yourself or for others? why do you think it makes a difference?
I wasn't really sure where to post this, so it's here ... if you have a better idea, please, let me know.
