I'm a cis male and I cry all the time, skill issue tbh

imagine being able to stop weeping and actually function

sup buddy what are your emotional triggers?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

im cis male and have to take T and it has also made me more emotional

im a lil story slut i cry especially for self-sacrifice among comrades and sappy love-lost shit and i seek this out like an emotional pervert

anyways it feels good to cry sometimes just really let yourself break down because the demon girl in the novel you are reading can't be with the angel boy or whatever i mean wtf they were meant for each other, you know

under the alienation of industrial capitalism, we are all emotional perverts

I suppose taking estrogen just for this effect would be a bad idea...?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

It probably won't work if you're not trans/you don't have this kind of dysphoria. A lot of transmascs report the same effect from getting on T, so it's probably less about estradiol bring the cry-y hormone and more that beginning to correct physical dysphoria connects you to your emotions again

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

im cis with extremely low t normally that i have to take injections for

so like, if your hormones are really really low it'll suppress your emotions so maybe get that checked next time you get blood-work

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

might be other drugs for that with less side effects

I only wear waterproof makeup πŸ˜‚

My waterproof makeup jokerfication

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

I really hope I get pogged out and feel the difference when I finally try estrogen. On top of feeling nice it would be so validating

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

I usually end up weeping when i take psilocybin and it's one of the best parts of the trip

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Wait, do you really find increasing E makes you cry more? I always figured crying was more of a socialisation/cultural attitude towards men thing.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago

I haven't physically been able to cry since puberty

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

100%, it changed within weeks of me starting HRT. But like some other people have mentioned it might just be not being depressed anymore that causes the emotional changes

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Interesting! Well either way, happy for you

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

thats interesting because my experiences with depression have reflected that like its more of a constant numbness where you cant feel sad or happy or anything

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There’s the socialization and cultural attitude towards men. And then there’s the effects of being forced to repress your gender for decades and finally being allowed to affirm your gender.

Idk nine years later I find I'm now really tired of just crying, all the time, at everything. Sometimes it is useful as a pressure release, sometimes I am just freaking out and making a mess of my whole self. How to be functional instead of crying under any emotional strain at all?
