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.
I second this. I'm 14 though. XD I don't get teary or cry over movies and shows unless something really awful happens. And I very very rarely get that upset because of a movie or show. Only once I can really remember trying to hold back the tears and I was still sad all day after that thing happened.

However when pets die, I do cry because I love them so much. One of my pet rats died because of a pituitary tumour so she died about a day after I realised something was wrong. I never held her much because she always bit me when I tried to grab her out, but she really was such a good rat. I feel bad that her sister is left alone though.
I can't even imagine how I'll act when my beardie dies. Luckily he's still 1 year old.


Though back to TV shows... I do get a little over excited at some parts of them. XD(Fullmetal Alchemist is just....man I go insane watching that... XD)
