Like when I get really overwhelmed and mad. I use to be able to cry to let off some steam but now I cant.

I may fee like I want to and my eyes may feel wet but that's all.

And then of course I get even more upset because I cant cry.

This only happens when I'm mad or overwhelmed. If I'm truly sad, then I can cry.

I suppose its no big deal. I just wanted to know if anyone else knows how I feel.

Oddly enough I've been going through the same thing. :p

I've been stressed out and having a sob session usually helps but I haven't been able to cry at all lately. It's really irritating, kind of like putting the cap back on a liter of soda, shaking it up, and not letting it loose. I know when I do feel like crying again it's going to be like an explosion.

I wish I had some advice or knew what to do myself, but, eh. Wouldn't be like this if I did.

How about... Eye drop medicine? Poking yourself in the eye? Making someone punch you in the stomach?

xD I'm sorry, I am absolutely NO HELP at all...

It's like you've built up an immunity to crying!

I'd say you're lucky, especially if you're over sensitive like me. :x

I hate when I cry in public. It makes me feel like a baby and yeah. D:

my tear ducts are in fine condition, for many different array of situations. xD

that's... interesting. i dunno what to say. D:

^ this. :(

I suppose I am lucky. I hate crying in front of people.

Maybe you're just growing up.

EDIT:::

Crying makes me feel better immediately, except then I can't stop crying and I cry for hours and take longer to get over whatever I'm crying over, also, it makes me well in self pity/frustration/whatever I'm crying over. So actually, even though at first I usually feel better, instead of getting over it in ten, fifteen minutes like I would have without crying, I become miserable for longer than I would have without crying. xD So yeah. Thats why I'm glad it takes extreme frustration, something that has been a problem for a very long time, or something just really bad to make me cry. I've seriously gone about a year without crying before, then had periods where I cried every day. Usually its about every six months one instance of anything bad enough shows up. . . just as an average. But almost every time; seriously. Almost every time. Its because of my family. xP

My mother has always almost been the one to make me mad enough to cry. Or its something she wants me to do and I'm overwhelmed .

Its always her. So far it has never been another person but her.

I use to be able to cry for an hour or so but I slowly stopped until It was more like a soft verbal cry and small tears that would last for 10 seconds until it was dried up by my frustration.

I have had the same problem. I watch a really sad movie and end up getting it out that way. There is an older movie called "What Dreams May Come" and it gets me every time.
