Do you ever cry because of social anxiety?

Do you? I am crying right now actually. Call me a pussy if you must...

Yeah for sure, but that normally because when my SA is getting to me i'm more depressed than usual for some reason.

Thats actually how my parents found out, it eventually just got the better of me and i was crying in my room and normally i would've covered it up - or not cried at all. But I just couldn't give a crap anymore, and then mum had a talk with me and the ball got rolling. Smile

Haven't cried in a while, but that because i'm trying my best not to dwell on it.

Crying certainly doesnt make you a pussy either mate. I think I probably do feel better after just crying for ages. Question

Shyboy - its okay to cry and I certainly wouldn't call you a pussy.
Maybe you are crying because you are depressed. Are you seeing a therapist for your social anxiety? If not perhaps you should.

regularly. i have to be ecused from lessons at school, or turn up late because i am in the toilets crying..i cry at home, in bed, when im out, when im with my bf..
anytime that it just gets too much.

theres nothing wrong with crying. it takes strength to show your emotions. theyre nothing to be ashamed of.

I can't cry anymore. I used to cry all the time, but it's like I've run out of tears or something. I used to cry a lot, but I just can't anymore, even when I want to. Does anyone else have that problem?

I cry at the most inopportune times. I tend to cry at the GP for no real reason. I've also cried at lecturers and teachers. It's stress related for sure - but I feel bad because it makes it seem like I've got a real reason to cry, or that they've caused me to cry.

I used to cry every now and them. Then I just became numb and stopped crying completely. The last time I cried was a few months ago just before I started getting treatment. I've been feeling so good since (compared to how I used to feel) that I haven't had an need to cry.

yeah, i cry all the time...the thing i hate the most is when im at work and talking to my boss (or someone else important) about something that im concerned about i always feel like crying but try to stop myself because i couldnt bear them to see me crying...means im stressing out about trying not to cry which means i always come across sounding shaky and stupid - and i never say what i want to say.

I really felt like crying a couple of nights ago, but I jes couldn't get the tears out, like Fred said. I was jes thinking about my crappy life and it kinda overwhelmed me for a moment there. Crying or Very sad
