It's not healthy or useful, it's probably more distracting and time consuming than crying would be. There's times where the only range in my expression is in just how wide and strained my military esque flat smile is. I've been there. It might be that you don't feel that you're able to let your guard down and let your emotions out. I believe that was the case for me. I need to feel safe from potential interference, which means being either alone in surroundings I control and feel safe in (my flat), or with a person who I trust deeply and feel comforted by the presence of. Some of my friends fit that category, but most don't. Maybe more of them will in future. I hope so. Edit: Welcome to the crying page. You each get 54 tissues and a hug

I'm sure there's a word for emotion so overriding that you lose the ability to express it. Same reason people cry when happy I think. You can get so upset you run out of expressive responses. I used to occasionally get bouts of hysterical laughter instead. I keep wanting to say affective override but that's something different.

We're all twisted up inside to a greater or lesser degree and our society does not let us deal with that properly. Let your weird and unexpected feelings run wild!

Re-learning how to cry is a trip worth travelling but I always find that episode of Futurama is a good one for succeeding every time. Not even gonna say which one because you all loving know which one.

There's times where the only range in my expression is in just how wide and strained my military esque flat smile is. For various reasons I've always been the one who keeps it together when stuff's really bad, maybe because most of the rest of my family are loving drama queens. Then I let it out when I feel like it's "safe" to do so, but of course by that point I've made it impossible to actually react to The Thing, whatever it is, because I've clamped right down on it. Instead I have a collection of triggers ready to open the gates - certain songs will do it, not because they're sad in themselves but because they can do an end-run around the defences I've put up in my head. For example I barely feel a flicker thinking about my parents funerals, but "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" turns me into a blubbering wreck immediately because my mum and dad both loved that song and it was a fixture in my dad's car stereo, and hearing it puts me right back in the back seat of that lovely old Lada cringing with embarrassment at the pair of them singing along to it at the top of their lungs. I'm aware this probably isn't the healthiest way of dealing with things but at the same time I feel almost like it's a safety valve for my emotions, and the consequences when I've not been able to release them have been pretty unpleasant for me and those around me.

That actually sounds like a perfectly good way to do it, as long as you know when you need to do it there's nothing at all wrong with that. The bugger is when you know you need to do it, you want to do it, but you don't have the ability. Not least because, as noted, it can lead to highly erratic responses at crisis points.

The bugger is when you know you need to do it, you want to do it, but you don't have the ability. It took me far too long to find this way of dealing with it, and to be honest I'm annoyed that I spent so long *not* being able to reset my demons (to nick TFTM's phrase), and it just makes me feel all the more empathy for people who, for whatever reason, just can't.

And in this case I really mean it - I'm not just doing that thing where you pretend something inconvenient never happened, like Darker Than Black S2. But genuinely I didn't watch it once it was picked up again because I was worried it would go Late Simpsons and trialing the first new episode confirmed my suspicions.

Ratjaculation posted:futurama retconned and ruined all of its best moments when it got brought back, a massive mistake Considering they were only a few years apart OG Futurama and Nu Futurama are so drastically different in tone it's crazy. It suddenly became just another animated show that felt the need to cram a parody of a hot button current issue into every episode (usually a year after it's relevant). And the true sad episodes are the bee one and the clover one. The dog one was ruined by memes.

There are some really good episodes in the newer Futurama seasons. But generally yes the tone did change a bit and their budget per episode was lower as well I believe.
