I guess I'll just have to go on not understanding it. I have to be completely overwhelmed emotionally to cry. I've cried at some funerals, when my grandmother died, when some old pets died, and my first happy tears when I got married.
When I watch a movie or TV show, I just don't get that emotionally involved. I mean, I can get excited, I can feel happy, I can feel a little scared, and I can even feel sad for some characters. But not to such an overwhelming extent that I lose control of my emotions.
I never get so excited that I jump up out of my seat and cheer.
I never get so scared that I get up an run out the theater.
It's just so hard for me to understand it as an adult. But I accept that others do cry at moves and such. My wife cries over next to nothing.
