Why do I cry every time someone asks me how I am? Logically, whenever someone asks me how I am, I should be happy and glad. Yet, this is not the case. Recently, Lydia asked me how I was doing, when I accidentally shared that I have problems, and I shedded a few tears.
And then today, Martyn asked how I'm doing, and I shedded a few tears again.
The Little Book of Big Emotions said that sorrow / sadness is one of the most easily postponed and neglected feelings. I need to find out where/when from my past I have neglected myself, as the Chinese wall of my feelings are beginning to break down and it makes me vulnerable to crying when I least expected it.
In other situations where others cry, I don't.
I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do.
