I Cannot Cry.

I've never really understood this sort of thing, I cry really easily, usually for silly reasons though when the **** really hits the fan I tend to just feel desolate and just stare into space without a drop.
I've not cried due to being upset in a long while though, the last few times I have were due to intense pain and/or happiness.

What part of "Up" made people cry? I only felt it at the very beginning of the film.
And FYI, I cried yesterday.

I didn't cry from age 8/9-24. It took my best friend passing away to bring it out. Be careful what you wish for bro.
Sure, I've teared up watching movies, reading touching stories, and watching things on tv. My fiance and I broke up, I didn't shed 1 tear.

I clicked on this thread right after crying for about 10 min (seriously)
I cry often enough, I cried while watching "I Love You Phillip Morris" (a movie) a few weeks ago, music can get me too depending on the song, and my mood. That's part of the reason I was crying before this thread, a few songs came on that just made me think about feelings I have and it made me cry. They were sad tears, but I feel better after letting them out.
O.P. Try this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a_Y1wAJ2MU, It gets me every time
(not the song I was listening to before this thread)

I cry at the end of Titanic (when she says her name is Rose Dawson, and then when she says he exists only as a memory).
I cry at the end of Life as a House.
I cried during an episode of In Treatment in the first season involving the sexually abused girl.
But I agree with the OP about crying and I know what he wants. Sometimes you just have a moment, and you can't force it where you feel life clearly and it cuts into you. It's not about wanting to be sad. It's about wanting cutting clarity and catharsis and refreshment. It's about wanting to feel real and alive and relief, even when there isn't anything seemingly that wrong. It's about connection.
I had it once last summer. A very random scene in an episode of Lost triggered a childhood memory that the show made me completely re-interpret. It felt like a breakthrough. It was around that time I was having an identity crisis--which is actually not a crisis but a period of great internal change and identification in new ways.
I think crying can let us see clearly, but Erik Erikson who was the person who wrote a lot about identity crisis wrote that he thought people prefer negative identity to no identity. So that could have some relevance to wanting to cry. A person in identity crisis is in confusion. And to achieve an identity he adopts a negative identity--negative ideas about himself.
I believe your relief will come. It always does. It never seems to come too soon, though, does it?

Let a guitar do the weeping for you...
1. Go to the nearest pawn shop and buy a guitar
2. Learn three chords: A7 - D7 - E7
3. Sing the blues
Example:
(A7) Tried to cry this mornin' (D7) but my tear ducts just won't let (A7) loose
(D7) Yeah, I tried to cry last night, but my tear ducts, they just won't let (A7) loose
(E7) Can't seem to drown my (D7) troubles, with just pancreatic (A7) juice

Someone mentioned Up. Yeah, I get a little misty eyed during the montage. But Field of Dreams - when Kevin Costner's character plays catch with his Dad. Gets me every time.
My grandfather passed away last friday. I've been wanting to cry but couldn't.
