I cry every time I see a baby. I feel weird
 I guess this is hormone related, but I'm only 18! I thought these clucky feelings weren't meant to start for a while  anyone else know what I mean? |

Not sure what you mean, but I would like to throw some things out there;
What kind of feeling do you get when you see a baby? Do you want one? Or is there some other reason? |

I do too. I admire and envy their innocence. But I then feel sorry for them for being born into a horrible and cruel world.

It's important to figure out why they bring tears to your eyes.
I know in my case, it was not meant to be for me to have my own. This saddens me missing out and having a family. As I get closer to menopause with each birthday, especially this birthday, my heart aches more and more when I see little ones. In finding out the reason for you, if it is a desire to be near them, you could work or volunteer at a daycare or church organization or to babysit. If it is because of a need for family, to look at the relationships in your life and see how to better them. Or it could be a whole lot of other reasons. Is there someone you can talk to? I hope you find the answers you seek but know you are not alone in weeping for little ones. |

I know exactly what you mean! I have never been driven to tears at the sight of a baby... but they make me intensely broody and sometimes I cry later. The only thing I want to do on this earth is to raise a family. I have other ambitions but I feel like, without a family, everything else I do will be worthless.
Seeing other people with their babies (even the ones having a tantrum) makes me sad because it feels like my little family is slipping away from me... I've had some confusion about sexuality and relationships and stuff and I feel like I've already missed my chance to settle down and start building a life. Even though I know I have plenty of time!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
