When you watch something sad on TV even if it's just a programme that's not real?
I can't help myself but get teary as I feel for them or I think I put myself in their shoes and how I would feel.
Or am I just strange

Not at all, it is what it means to be empathic. A rare trait
I too get emotional, over anything. Sometimes it is cathartic to cry x |

"No. But some music can make me cry . Or an appropriate soundtrack. "
Not even if you see someone lose their mum on a programme or a real story of something upsetting? Only use that example as that's what got me tonight |

There's a thing called 'Highly Sensitive Person' (HSP). It's a personality trait with a gene responsible for it rather than something that can be diagnosed but it may be worth having a look at that.
I've just started learning about it after it was suggested by someone qualified that it could answer a lot of my questions.
Unfortunately 'sensitive' has such a negative meaning for a lot of people as it's been used as almost an insult at times, but don't be put off.
It's a bit like being an empath - but different  |

Yeah I've never really understood why it's seen as a bad thing. I'd rather feel a lot than the opposite. To feel is to really live and experience. |

"I note the lack of men in this thread.
It’s because we’re cowards who won’t admit the tears we are reduced to when our team loses!! "
Honestly it makes me so sad how shameful men can feel about crying. Someone told me about being in a car crash and his first car that he loved being written off and he said "and I actually cried because I'm such an emotional twat". I think crying in that situation is perfectly understandable!! |

I cry lots in real life (and I mean lots at any emotionally charged thing!)
When I watch things not that often ... I don't have a tv nor watch much though, but because it's just not real and emotionally charged I can easily not let it effect me unless watching in company that gets distressed.
But if I go to the cinema, and therefore emotionally charged, waterworks! |

Absolutely. It’s far healthier to let it out.
Tears are a physical thing, if they don’t come out, they go inside.
I cry all the time, but I didn’t used to, I’ve learnt to.
Now, I even cry at that bloody Lloyds bank advert  |

Yes that’s me to the core, I’ve always thought that it was a bad thing to be so soft and would always try to hide that soft side but the older I’ve learnt to embrace it. It shows that we’re more caring right?? Well that’s what I say to myself.

And that’s ok . We have this huge issue over crying don’t we, and why, it’s so natural and healthy to release these emotions.

It’s a lifetime of training. I chopped my toe off at 7 years old and didn’t dare cry.  |

Yes indeed. The only thing keeping him going was the dog. Although how funny was the scene when he wanted to use the bathroom next thing he is having a bath and using his aftershave |

I wasn't emotional for most of my life. But in the last few years I have too many emotions lol. I don't cry but I do often find my throat contracting with emotion when watching some things. Usually kid related |

Ha..exactly. I was about to put that as my example but didn't. That made me cry back in 1992.
The other one is the female Swiss marathon runner, when she walked dehydrated into the stadium in 1984 (watched her on tv when I was 13yo).
Olympics games always make me emotional. The 4 years effort for that particular one moment.

Nope. For me it gets more as I get older. Maybe circumstances but it’s not a bad thing to be fair. |

Yep can definitely get a bit teary
I can still remember watching a programme several years ago about children who are carers - I had tears not just watery eyes. Just thinking about it now makes my eyes self lubricate a little.
Those kids are amazing |
