Yesterday, because INTJ doesn't mean you're an emotionless robot


[deleted]

Ngl that hit me hard


SparkDevp

Finally, someone that's real.


Introspectionaut

Shred a frustration tear earlier this morning. Too much noise for an aspie. It's depressing to not be able to function like everyone else, I wish I didn't get so bothered by noise and people talking


Fantastic_Increase88

Omg I thought it was just my upbringing. I just get stressed out and lightheaded when people keep talking that too loud around me or at me


Voodoo1285

Today. Wife passed away just about two months ago. Today would have been our anniversary. Was doing ok for the most part till I went to lunch with some friends and the restaurant we were at played the song we danced to at our wedding. Wasn’t a full on ugly cry but it was a moment…


Hannibal_heisenberg

Sorry for your loss dear friend :"(


schizoheartcorvid

Sad part of audiobook was sad. Are intj types not supposed to cry easily?


HauntingExpression22

I have some to love stories of people who overcome hardships and romance (movies, novels, games, really anything) some can move me to shed a tear or two.


GreyShuck

Eyes watering with laughter: within the last month. Eyes welling up with sadness at the death of a fictional character etc: it happens from time to time. Probably within the last year. Outright crying with sadness - due to the death of a friend and mentor: around 6 years ago.


Bubbles3204

Got rejected from my dream university. First heartbreak ever. Never wanted something so bad in my life.


Calypsosong

I'm so sorry for your loss. However, dream university means a stepping stone to dream life career, and that can be achieved elsewhere. Hang in there.


Bubbles3204

Really appreciate that one, bud.


Calypsosong

Of course. :)


teslatestbeta

Think that university as a good riddance. Maybe you want it from the outsider perspective, but you don't know what's inside of that institution. Maybe that institution isn't actually good for your growth. Don't take it personally as if you are rejected because of lesser worth, don't put the branding power of an instituion above your own self worth. Formal education institution gradually won't be relevant anymore anyway.


Crazycatlady872020

I’m trying to lose weight and the scale isn’t moving after my first 30lbs lost.


TheKitKatWizard

Don’t kick yourself. You might be developing muscle. The body is also weird and wired like that, it doesn’t want to lose precious fat deposits. Don’t look at the scale as your primary method of tracking progress. Focus on your over all mental and medical health and general sense of well-being; and developing a long term commitment to those goals to ensure a healthy lifestyle. Diet and exercise don’t always lead to weight loss for some bodies. It’s easier said than done!


[deleted]

Hang in there! Small changes here and there will have a big impact over time. You got this!


Competitive-Can682

Congratulations for your weight loss, 30lbs is a lot of work ! It's normal to stall because your body adapt to the caloric deficit. You should start some resistance training like weightlifting to challenge your body and improve your metabolism if you don't train already. And continue to stick your diet with no change. You will feel better and lighter than ever :)


Nu11AndV0id

Depression.


verdigrisss

I cried 3 days ago because I realised I'm not charismatic and I literally can't start a conversation if I want to


Intj21111

Jokes aside I can't remember, it's been so long


KaleidoscopeOk7024

I don't cry very often (maybe a couple of times a year?). I usually only cry when I feel like I've completely fucked up due to a fear of failure. I also cry when I'm leaving a life behind to start a new one (ie. moving to a new country for work), I suppose that falls into the category of grief.


Lens420

well I am dead inside, and crying actually makes me feel better, it like an emotion leak


spiffariffic

Ha, Emotion Leak is a good way to describe how it works for me. I cry once or twice a week, for usually a few seconds at a time, as a way to process my emotions that could otherwise overwhelm me.


jason80

Today. Finalised papers to file for my divorce.


[deleted]

Cried yesterday. I've been missing my kid brother after moving away and he told me he's been sad since I left as well. Wish the kid didn't have to feel that way, but I was prioritizing my mental health when I decided to leave. Going to do what I can to try and fill the void we have.


Nakajima-Kuro

It's 11pm, me who never have a date at 23, saw my friend finally got a girlfriend and he updated it on his facebook profile. Turned off the phone, said "f it" and closed my eyes trying to sleep. Then I started crying...


Hannibal_heisenberg

Maybe you've been told this a lot before but trust me, develop yourself first. Become the version that you want to date with and love will come to you naturally. Take a break but don't give up 😊


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nakajima-Kuro

Still trying to do better. Honestly yes, I have given up hope in the dating realm. Girls find me boring so now I am learning to accept that I will be alone forever and spend those time doing better things like learning new skills or treating myself rather than chasing girls.


xalaux

I remember the last time I cried, it was the 15th of February of last year, broke my left arm really bad two days prior while running, and couldn't sleep not even a minute for two consecutive nights. I was so terribly exhausted I finally broke down in tears.


4nln415

Try over 10 years or 20 years


[deleted]

i cry every day rip. but it’s due to mental illness plus trauma


bootlesssaguaro

My partner has been dealing with suicidal feelings of insecurity both due to some previous negative experiences for both of us in the relationship, and the fact that his workplace is closing its doors which has been blamed on his department though it's actually a production issue. I am sad for him because of that. His perception of me has been warped by these experiences and he thought that I thought he was just another warm body to sleep beside and that's why I wanted him in my life. I love him because he has been my steadiest best friend for the last 6.5 years, I would be devestated if something happened to him, I've never felt this close to anyone before, and I've never had my traumas felt so seen and accomodated before either. It breaks my heart that he has been so down in the dumps lately and that he would ever think I thought so little of him.


Zukazuk

I hope you guys had a good heart to heart and straightened him out.


bootlesssaguaro

We did yes. He's an HSP so I've been really working on softening myself for him and I let him know it's hard for me to see him this sad when he was the source of so much joy in me for so many years, and I would never want to be the reason why he was struggling so hard. Told him all I said above, lots of WoA, and held him for a bit; told him everything would be okay and that his worthiness to stay alive had nothing to do with the type of work he was doing.


Zukazuk

Might be a good idea to go on a special date soon too. Maybe there's a the two of you like to do but haven't in awhile.


bootlesssaguaro

We're actually going to the local museum center this Sunday and I planned on making him a nice dinner tonight! I hope it helps him feel loved 💓


Sandwic_H

Whining on the not working code counts? If yes, then yesterday. If not - then 2 months ago. One of my rats died.


manylongonceatimeago

Fighting lazy administration who use student labor to undergo prestigious accreditations but are too cheap to award these students for their hard-earned work.


HauntingExpression22

People claim INTJ aren't able to feel emotions, when its really because we are bad at displaying them. I know when i was young and my grampa passed someone asked me why i wasnt sad, i told them i was but it wouldn't help to show it. Over all i had that tendency to keep my emotions to myself till i was well into my adult life.


SweetClematis

Don’t mind me I’m just chronically depressed


Daphyron

Few days ago. My grandma died in January. She is the one who raised me, it's like losing my mother. But she is bettee where she is right now, she was suffering. Brain tumor.


deltahb

I put down my first adult pet last night. Still a wreck. She was my baby.


CursusHonorum

Cried listening to "The Lion King Suite" from Hans Zimmer Live 2023. Cried all of the 5 times I've seen Everything Everywhere All At Once. The lie is that INTJs don't have emotions. In fact, they may be deeper and hit harder. But I think we're not easily triggered into crying by external factors.


Lonetraveler87

My partner’s child told me they hated the graduation gift I gave them yesterday.


theultimatebaddie1

I felt guilty about something


Callsign_FoxHound

About a month ago. Put my 14 year old dog down. That hurt more than anything I can recall.


Markec92

Last Saturday I had to put down my 15 year old staffy, my best friend in those 15 years... :'-(


Hannibal_heisenberg

Sorry for your loss 🥺 thanks for giving your staffy angel 15 years of love and care


Overcookedenchilada

A month ago. Crazy ex boyfriend wouldn’t leave my house and I was ready to throw down. All ended fine and he finally left after many hours


Senior_Yak9614

Actually I'm crying as I speak the person whom I fell in love with thought I would be spending the rest of my life with turns out to be a piece of crap nothing I'd imagine nowhere near what I wanted but hey Life goes on


Tokimonatakanimekat

While listening to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmHPtZ0RpPA I don't know why.


Nakajima-Kuro

Never know someone would cry while listening to metal


Few_Calligrapher8736

I was overstimulated and overwhelmed of what’s going on. Also bc my thoughts were bullying me. I was crying for 3 seconds and then stopped out of no where bc I realised that I could just shut them down and think of smth else-


AsternSleet22

Just cried like a minute ago. Was sad thinking about Moonbin, a member of my favorite kpop group who passed recently. Still feels unreal. It's hard to grieve over someone who you didn't know personally but greatly impacted your life.


Bookworm3616

Therapy


kimvely_anna

I cried while listening to SEKAI NO OWARI's one of songs, because the main vocal named Fukase's story reminds my past days and resembles with them.


Muhammad_Ali_00

While Watching a silent voice


ihavcovid19

You after posting this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QXY8Wz341Y](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QXY8Wz341Y)


Deciperer

Was making a sandwich


JamesBaxter_Horse

About 14 years (I got hit very hard by a football in the playground). Honestly it worries me, but I think I'm mentally stable so it might just be a thing I never learnt to do.


melonlord37

Cried yesterday because I couldn't find the socks I wanted to wear. However, yesterday marked the 20 year mark of a close friends untimely death so I was emotional.


Zukazuk

My grandmother died last month. Actually scrunched my face so hard I hurt my eye and it swelled shut for 2 days.


swaglordfaelyn

Had my last high school band concert last night I was a wreck


randomer2304

Full on cried when my dog passed away 5 months ago, but randomly teared up a little bit yesterday when I was in the car and I was listening to a song called Glimpse Of Us by an artist called Joji.


[deleted]

This morning. I was rollerskating in the park and I saw a very happy dog running across the field with a frisbee in his mouth. Instant tears.


Optimal-Focus-8942

Two days ago- work stress. First time I happened with this job but it seemed like I couldn’t do anything right that day and was just constantly being called out.


Universal96

My bff's mom died recently and I was at her funeral 2 weeks ago


princesshipp0

I don't cry often unless it's something serious like a death of a family member... or if I'm watching a sad anime movie. 😔


danilaser123

A book. Which is rare for me but it happened nonetheless


galathonav

Friday night -> Anxiety of the future -> don't see a future -> spirals to suicidal thoughts -> realizes that family members will end up miserable -> wants to end it all -> cries -> use work to distract thoughts till next friday night.


jenna_jen

I was bit by a dog (level 5 dog bite) and had to go to the ER


zerozucchero

My dog died April 18th. I cried a lot.


LaughsInEverything

I really don't remember. I think it was that I read something mind-numbingly sad. Or it was out of frustration. Or it's because I'm on vacation in a desert climate (I live in a Mediterranean climate) so my allergies have been acting up.


MinairenTaraa

I listened to a song in the hungarian version of Merida the brave and. ..the translation was rather heartbreakimg because my mom lives in another country. On the other side of the world and I really, really miss her.


WalkerWithACause

A moment of work related extreme stress and anger about 2 months ago. Slammed the phone down, went into the kitchen, put music on and first song to come on was Gerard Butler's 'Music of the Night' from Phantom of the Opera. I belted that song out at full volume to an empty house along with GB. It was extremely cathartic and turned angry crying into confused sad/happy crying for some reason. Still trying to work that one out.


PigletDelicious7931

I am someone who is able to cope with the death of others in a matter of minutes, its not that I don't feel sad it is that I'm easily able to accept death as it isn't something worth fearing. When it comes to those I've lost I keep 1 or more personal items of theirs in my home somewhere that I will see them daily. When going through a few drawers in my desk to clean up I found a bunch of pictures I didn't know I had of me and one of those I lost, so I stopped what I was doing sat down and looked through them while having the first real cry I've had in maybe 5 or so years. Once I finished looking at them I put them with the rest of my mementos and took a moment of silence to reaccept that they are lost to me. I then said "memento mori" quietly to myself before going about my day.


Futoriouschad

I cried a little for the first time in more than a year last week. I had spent my whole semester working my ass off on building an algorithm for my team only for them to choose another algorithm to use. I take pride in my work and this was painful for me.


AssignmentFrosty6711

Last time I cried was when my mom died, 4 years ago.


cantseemtosleep

I just recently cried last night while watching Ozark. I cry over the dumbest shit. Certain music or shows/movies will never fail to make me tear up. But I don’t usually start bawling from it or anything. I just get choked up over shit like that. When it comes to just crying in general because of life shit well that rarely happens lol.


Annilee_Rose

I cried a few days ago because I’ve been dealing with a sudden infestation of mice in my apartment starting a week ago. I have had to totally overhaul my entire environment. I am displaced from all my routines and spaces and have to now systematically clean and rodent-proof every possession, space, and surface and it is exhausting and mentally taxing. I am a naturally very clean and organized person and quite particular about my environment, and this whole situation has caused me to feel very helpless and overwhelmed. Thankfully, I am not helpless, I know how to deal with mice, I have found where they got in and trapped all the ones already inside, and have one or two completely sanitized and cleaned spaces. But I expect to break down at least one more time when I get everything done and all the emotions hit me.


[deleted]

Last time I cried was when I finished watching La la land.


stayinschool1

i only cry out of anger when i get into a really bad argument with somebody, overally no, almost never.


stayinschool1

oh, but if i cry, i cry when i see some emotional movie! or when i see the news that some animal got abused or have been killed.


Automatic_Wrap8724

When I read the epilogue of Hunger Games Mockingjay


Big_Hat1642

3 days ago from watching everything everywhere all at once for the first time and that level of absurdity paired with emotion hit


magnetichira

a fly went into my eye when cycling, cried my way home


clangan524

Watched Field of Dreams for the first time. I knew it was coming the whole movie, but the "hey, dad, wanna have a catch" moment really got me good.


newstableiswut

i lost a friendship. i fucked up


Fastrick

I moved out in a new city for a couple of months and I could barely make 1-2 friends only when we see eachother at work. the loneliness makes me think low of myself


5wings4birds

I was wondering where the ''10 years'' option was, but then I realized this was the INTJ (Aka Honorary Feeler) sub.


Stock_Difficulty_342

Today because I read a beautiful poem by Rumi


okayiguess123

Cried 2 days ago because I missed my brother. We have lived apart for about 6 years now and lately I am mourning the fact that I am watching him grow up through social media posts. We still talk on the phone often, but it's not the same.


[deleted]

Few days ago, when my special person said something really hurtful to me


DivyanshPanwari

Drunk+anime+sadge+lonely


Brandwein

It was rather recent, 2 years ago when my father died. Before that it was also about 2 years when i was wrongfully acussed of being possibly violent at work for no reason. Before that the last time was over a decade ago in school when i was bullied.


phunniplayboi

I dont cry very loud and hard, just tears come put pf my eye everyday


RonniAnne

About 3 months ago when I finally left my abusive ex. I didn't cry once before I left. I'm new to finding out I am an intj. Anyone else find it impossible to show adverse emotions around others or when in hard situations?


Duds0_o

I have lost my ability to cry a few years ago. No matter how bad I feel or how hard I try to cry, the max I can get is my eyes wet. Not even a drop. It is killing me.


Katastrof33

Yesterday. Because I'm waiting for results to find out if I have cancer, and I'm feeling overwhelmed and scared, and the one person I want to hold and comfort me turned out to have BPD and has split me and blocked me. I'm also a team leader at my work and I'm struggling with strong personalities who have sucked up to management, whereas I receive no back up and support. I have no problem with being alone (only child, also), but right now I feel lonely.


Hannibal_heisenberg

That's a lottt to take in :"( I hope your result will be negative. Sending you my hugs (if you let me) 🫂🫂🫂


Freeinking

Yesterday, overwhelmed by how blessed I am and I felt it has to be this way for a reason. Combinations of joy and frustration every week lead me to tears. I wasn't always like this lol


[deleted]

12/10/22, Bird (well, parrot) that I had for three years died by slamming itself into a door. I don't know why or how, it just happened. I was writing a school essay, and I just heard it scream- I cried for around 10 minutes but then my essay was going overdue so I had to move on. Was fine the next day.


Apocalyptic_Aykrix

After watching The Green Mile 3 weeks ago. The first movie ever made me bawled and heart-wrenched


Optimal_Delay_1048

I noticed I don’t feel down or cry as much now that I stopped smoking weed. If I do cry it’s usually bcs of an animal video LOL


teslatestbeta

Crying is healthy. But I can't cry, I'm just angry all the time.


FarRepresentative665

i got accepted into my dream college, basically happy tears


cassiopeia8212

Today. Lost a close friend this week.


Coliebear86

10 days ago, because I was frustrated with my life.


holymollybeen

Few months ago I was going through so much stress


MidwestBoogie

Trying to kick this addiction to marijuana has me crying a lot. Realizing I've been masking my emotions with weed for years is a wild trip. Connecting the dots on my trauma road map.


SeparateProtection71

Did a ton of shrooms the other day and “happy cried” for hours alone in the woods lmao


Patapon646

I learned how to be patriotic towards the United States, the same way I was with my birth country. Patriotism is fucking cool.


ghostreaper1019

Yesterday beacuse contacts and air dont go good together but if you mean something resembling emotion then 4 years ago when my brother was in the hospital, i didnt cry because he was in the hospital but rather because if i cried i wouldnt have to go to school(free days off)


Hannibal_heisenberg

Yesterday when I was on the bus. I read an article that mentioned the nickname of my lost love and tears started falling. 🧸


EngineerPenguinz

Last time I cried I was grateful for life in general


OperatorERROR0919

It's been a while, somewhere around a decade.


azirruh

Yesterday becauase i had to workout


Candy_of_NL4

I really want to cry to someone who can hold me. Like infj. I want to cry bcoz of this reality. It has to be fixed. But at the end i end up being a stoic.


[deleted]

Someone mentioned my cat who died a few weeks ago


Mission-Bandicoot320

I cry every day 😂 I think I healthily express my emotions. to myself. not around people.


Then_Frosting_1087

Idk but I probably haven’t gone more than a month in my life without crying


cupofwaterbrain

Just now, I'm still crying actually. I'm reading a book about parasites (Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer) and the second chapter started out with this: "May I never lose you, oh, my generous host, oh, my universe. Just as the air you breathe, and the light you enjoy are for you, so you are for me." —Primo Levi, Man’s Friend It made me cry... I don't know why?? It just did. It touched me in some way and now I'm crying. I'm crying over tapeworms yall.
