11. people that know me well tease about my crying at public meetings

I cry easily at all sorts of things, but far as I can tell they are all appropriate if not entirely normal for most people so keep a kleenex and fuck it, weep away. if it isn't normal for you, perhaps real depression is happening and more than self analysis might be needed. times are pretty fucked right now and I don't know why more people aren't breaking down.
