[Atmosphere.]

I don't know if this is the right place to talk about this topic, but
after I fell off from the slide from the playground and injuring my leg and my head when I was 3?
And like after that, when I was in elementary school, it was weird... It wasn't even painful, but when someone
just hits my head out of nowhere (not that painful) my face emotion is like strong and just makes me cry.
I don't know it's hard to explain this, but I really hate it. Doctors don't even know what is wrong with me.
I went to few doctors, they didn't help much. Like it wasn't even painful, it wasn't even sad, but I just cry like
my heart just wants me to cry, like it FORCES ME to cry it's so weird >__<;; I hate it, -__-;;

And another thing, cause of this happening. People think I cry so easily like a cry baby which is so freaking annoying,
because I DIDN'T MEAN TO CRY I didn't even force myself to cry, but my brain/heart just forced it out.. >__<


And my friends think it could be cause of my mental problems. Maybe I'm almost there to be a mental person? o__o
I hope not T__T;; I just hope I'm not the only one whose dealing this problem.
I was just wondering if anyone is dealing the same problem as me?


EDIT
Btw, I don't see psychiatrist or therapist because I'm against them after betraying me for telling my whole school
all these lies about me, cause of that my mom almost went to jail when she didn't do anything wrong.. lets just say my
therapist was racist to Koreans. So I don't even want to face another therapist/psychiatrist, and they won't help me.
I don't need someone to talk to about it. It just happens. I'm not sad or anything, I'm happy with my life, but it just happens.
I'M NOT SAD OKAY? -____________- goodness. Stop telling me to see a psychiatrist. Cause they won't help me at all!
I have friends that I can talk to about it, not people who betrayed me who shrinks your mind. -_____________-;;

Well it's good to hear that one of you guys have same problem. But yeah at the same time I think it's coming from the brain
injury when I was young. I think that's the reason it caused me to cry out of nowhere when there was no reason to cry o__O

Ahh thanks for everyone's response. Moderator can close this topic now :]

[lovecubedlee]

uhh....sorry i can't help.
but that sounds...i don't know....never heard of someone who couldn't control tears.
maybe you were traumatized by that experience so it's a natural reaction to cry?

how often does this happen??
and
how long does it take for you to stop?

idk
but if you look on the bright side,
you can act in dramas.
i used to try to cry on command cuz i wanted to be an actress.

[xaznxsoulx]

I get really upset and mad when ppl hit my head, especially on purpose.
I don't know why too.
I think it is because I get really scare when ppl hit my head since it is an important part and I do lose brain cell ....

I can lose control when ppl hit my head but i don't cry as easily =/

[JJ no Baka]

it happens to me too. whenever i light bump my elbow [the funny bone] or some knocks my elbow, i'll start tearing. i dont know why either but tears just come out. i think its a maybe a natural reaction? but everyone is different. maybe because when you were 3, you bumped your head and now you consciously create tears when something knocks up against your head. but i dont know who how to make it stop considering i can't even make my own tears stop when someone or myself knock my elbow on something. :/

LOL I used to do that too ! but it wasn't because I wanted to be an actress, more like a competition with my brothers who can cry the first and get grandma to rush over to us. LOL such bad kidds

Try a psychiatrist. It's a social stigma to go to a psychiatrist in Asian communities; but, truthfully, a psychiatrist may help you in a situation that has no physiological cause; plus, he or she may alleviate any anxiety you have toward minor head injuries.

A psychiatrist is there to make you feel happier about yourself, not to socially embarrass or shame you. Seriously, if this is a problem you find to interfere with your life and bring you unhappiness, then you should seek some psychological help. It's not saying you are 'crazy,' but to say that you may have some unconscious connections with your childhood injury that might influence you throughout your adulthood--and there's no shame in seeking a solution to that problem.

[Loveology]

Yeah, sometimes I'm like that too, and people just keep saying "Are you okay?" over and over, and makes me actually cry. x:

[Ramen-C]

Well when you fell did someone come up to you and start asking if you're okay and stuff?
I know that sometimes I get a bad grade or hurt myself but really it doesn't bother me but once someone starts going:
"It's okay, it's okay" or "Are you okay? omg!"
My tears just start falling.

[enirtep]

OH YES! THIS IS TRUE!

my teacher told me about this before. lets say a very young kid falls down, if you dont walk up to him and sympathise with him, he will jolly well stand up on his own and carry on with what he was doing. but if you were to go to him and "sayang" (pity?) him, he will really start crying!

just like how i dont want people to comfort me when im on the verge of crying, theyll just make me more emotionally unstable. when people leave you alone, youll be fine again pretty soon. i guess we want to cry because we are emotionally unstable at that point of time, that is why we really cannot control ourselve. hey it looks like im not making any sense here but oh well~

[lily-chan]

Well seeing that you fell on your head at a very young age, there is a greater chance that you've somewhat injured your brain due to the fact that when you're young, the top of your head is still not bones yet, it's actually just cartillage.

Well that's what I remember from high school biology.

It also may be psychological. Maybe you subconsciously assossiate slight pain on your head to some very bad memories that you've pushed deep down. (haha, high school psychology)

[Kawaii.Angelxxx]

That happens to me too. If someone hits me for something tears come out!

[plumerias]

Ah >_< I have a similar problem..
whenever I'm really happy for someone or just really happy in general, tears just keep coming out.
Even if its like.. time to go to lunch in school lmao
its really.. weird. I know theres tears of joy, but I feel like its not normal
Also when I laugh, I have so many tears it seems like I'm crying. Like pouring out tears.. so I try not to laugh so hard.
And now people think I'm a serious person/cry baby .___.; eh..

[kiyomiX]

i'm just guessing here...
but maybe you have an exaggerated startle response...
normally people that suffer from this also suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (not saying you have it...)...
i've read that some people's startle response are just naturally more on edge than others...

from this website...

"By showing that people who carry a common variation of a gene that regulates the neurotransmitter dopamine have an exaggerated "startle" reflex when viewing unpleasant pictures, the researchers offer a biochemical explanation for why some people find it harder to regulate emotional arousal."

of course they are talking anxiety, but i feel this crying could be construed as a form of anxiety.
i would suggest you talk to a psychologist (or a psychiatrist if you want medication) to help you control this behavior.

[Aerolite]

Was the experience of you injuring yourself at 3 y/o traumatic in some way? I would think somewhere in your subconscious mind that kind of shock could provoke your crying. I mean, it might mean something that you remember that particular event happing at such a young age...I mean, I know I've hurt myself a couple times but the only ones I can remember are REALLY significant...like when I got bit by a dog or hit my head on a glass table and got stitches...x_x.

I don't think anything sounds wrong with it...Unless maybe you're seriously bawling your eyes out for no apparent reason, but I wouldn't look into it too much. Sometimes I also cry when I don't need to and overreact on stupid situations, and I know they're stupid...But maybe it's just an hormonal imbalance or something.

[nestachan]

Well when you fell did someone come up to you and start asking if you're okay and stuff?
I know that sometimes I get a bad grade or hurt myself but really it doesn't bother me but once someone starts going:
"It's okay, it's okay" or "Are you okay? omg!"
My tears just start falling.

omg~ that totally happens to me too. its weird. like if even one person goes like "are you okay?" i'll start bawling.lol.

[blurr]

uhmm..
maybe its a form of operant conditioning.. ? (is this the right one lmao) where you have a stimulus (in your case - hurting your head & leg) and a reaction (in your case - crying). so when you were three, you were conditioned in the way that whenever you hurt your head again, your brain would send out messages to produce tears oO. iuno if that's even correct ahaa. but anyway..

see a psychologist. it's not something physical imho. you`re not mental but it seems like it has something to do with the cognitive functions in your brain.

[yeowoo]

:[ that happens to me too :[

i cry when i get injured, talk about my injuries, and other stuff..
i think its just that we're like emotional people? kinda sensitive i guess..

maybe overly large tear ducts?

[xDitslan]

well if i were you the next time your friends call you a cry baby you should totally punk them.
you should be like......

Friends: You are such a cry baby.
You: What the heck I am not! Why do you guys always call me that?
*start crying*
You: You are always calling me that and I hate it.
*more crying..*
Friends:......we are soo sorry (name) we won't do it again..
*more crying*
You: Do *sniff sniff* you *sniff* promise?..
Friends: Yeah. totally. we so promise. we will never do it again.
You: HA! YOU WERE JUST PUNKKK'DDD!! SUCK!
*gloat gloat gloat*


If you do try that you should pm me and tell me if it worked. I just totally punk'd my friend today. It was awesome.

[chopstick^^]

u have emotional problem, u shuld see a therapy.. coz ur like out of ur teen rite? .. hmm, u need to move on.. only u can tell yourself to stop crying! .. ur heart mite want to cry, but ur conscience can over ride ur feelings..

if u know its not serious, u should believe it! dont look back at the past..

[3letters]

I think I know what you mean - maybe it's just the memory that gets to you.
I get something like that, only - every time i lay my head on my pillow, tears would come out of my eyes. and I don't want it too, it's wierd. Hope you find out what's wrong. And when you do, please come back and tell us.
