it honestly depends for me yk like deaths wont usually make me cry but if a character is going through something so realistic and relatable i will shed a tear or two, it makes it so sad to see things ive faced before happening to characters because like its so relatable that i lowk cry for myself 😭 but i read to cry!!

tbh i think im just a really emotional person, like i cry to almost any sad movie, sometimes to songs, and if i see someone cry ill start crying 😭 books are a little harder to cry to though! i dont think it makes you apathetic 💗

Definitely! I cry over characters I love. Especially when something bad happens, or they die. Sometimes I cry over happy scenes, such as a couple getting together or family reunited. Honestly it just depends on the book and how things are worded.

I think the hardest I’ve ever cried for a book was the ending of Mockingjay, but I cry over a lot of books

I don't think you're a bad person if you don't cry. Everyone processes differently.

to be honest, i’ve never cried over a book. i'll shed a tear or two if it’s really sad, but i have never ugly cried. there were a fear tears reading fearless and powerful, but that was it. and i’ve read a dog’s purpose and didn’t shed a tear, even after watching the movie.

the only form of storytelling that has ever made me ugly cry was guardians of the galaxy vol. 3. (thank goodness i didn’t see it in theater)

it doesn’t make you apathetic if you don’t cry. everyone has different ways of expressing emotion, and some hardly express it at all, but that doesn’t make you apathetic.

honestly i’m still waiting for the book that will make me ugly cry like guardians of the galaxy vol 3 made me cry, so you’re not alone

I cry over sunken ships... lol

I can think of a few times I’ve cried reading books. When animals are mistreated or die, of course. But also when someone speaks positively of Christianity and or shows it accurately. Or affirms that my experiences are just as valid and I’m not evil for being a Christian.

I think guardians of the galaxy 3 was also the hardest I’ve every cried while watching a movie, and also avengers: endgame. Movies are more likely to make me cry than books though because I get more emotionally attached to the characters in a movie.
