How often on average does someone cry? I got to talking with a friend of mine in a very serious discussion and she said talking about it (even over text) had made her cry. Though I feel bad about her situation and personally hurt by what was said, I don't cry. I haven't cried in six months. Not when I found out my grandpa was in hospice, not when my friend went missing. I am so numb. Sometimes I try to make myself cry to feel more like a person
