This is a very interesting set of results! I didn't think such a large percentage would say quarterly or less.

I'm quick to cry, and I'll do it at very sad news of the world, or syrupy fiction, or deep feelings about family and friends.

I'd probably say somewhere between "daily" and "weekly" here.

@evan I'm quick to cry on circumstances that cause it, but I don't usually come across such circumstances.

@evan I guess it depends. For me to have a bawl with my face in a pillow, not very often. For me to have tears because of a beautiful piece of music, image, or other moment, quite often.

@evan I wasn’t sure how to answer! I don’t cry much from sadness, but almost daily from something beautiful I’ve read/heard, a musical crescendo, a moving thought, etc. I consider these all “happy crying” or at least melancholy.

@evan Very occasionally a movie or telly will, but I don't generally watch that sort of show.

@evan whats interesting is i've gone thru stages - years where it was daily or near daily, and now rarely - can't remember when - its not that i'm happier now, just less in touch with feelings. tho the years where i cried more i had teenagers...

@evan I can be watching a Pixar movie and start bawling at a tender moment. Or a YouTube video. I’m really sensitive. Definitely 1-3 times a week

@evan or at re-establishment of contact after the first skip of atmospheric reentry.

Also: when I'm outside in the wind.
