Can You Make Yourself Cry?

[Bonzi]

.... or can you pretend to be happy when you're not?
On a scale of 1-10 how good an actor would you say you are with your emotions? (10 being best)

 

[Correll]

I can't cry on demand. I can pretend to be happy fairly well. Say, an 7 or 8.

 

[The Great Goose]

Im not talented at manipulation.

 

[Bonzi]

I said other. I can, if I'm alone. Certain things I think about can make me cry instantly.
But like The Great Goose , I don't do it to manipulate people. But if I happen to think about my Grandparents, or my kids when they were little and the things I did with them, I will cry. Things that really mattered to me.

 

[JakeStarkey]

I will cry if I dwell on my daughter who passed some years ago.

I can assume an absolute poker face if the situation calls for it.

 

[Auld Phart]

I can't cry on demand, but I always pretend to be happy.

So sorry to hear about your daughter. An unimaginable tragedy to deal with.

Yeah, but that's not really crying!!

 

[Bonzi]

Onions never make my eyes tear up. I wonder why? hmmm maybe it's the contact lenses?

What about movies?
Ever cry over a commercial?

Yeah.............food I wanted to eat and didn't have any.............after sniffing an ONION.

 

[Auld Phart]

Choke up listening to Old Shep, or at the end of Old Yeller

 

[Bonzi]

I actually know people that have cried over commercials (granted, they are women....)

[Andylusion]

Not so much. But I can make myself angry pretty quick. Just play video of 9/11, or the Paris attacks, and I'll be mad as crap in a few minutes.
