hey peeps.
I just popped in to ask a question!

do you often become emotional while reading stories?

Only when the story is really good and pulls me in. Though mostly, it's when there's suspense or something cute happening. It's when I start to flail about and squeal *lol* (sometimes I talk to the characters, too, like "noooo, don't do that! Ohmergawd!" or "you idiot! Whyyy?" - note: I only do that when I'm alone. When I'm not, all this happens in my mind)
Making me cry is a very hard endeavour, but I guess that's also partly because I'm not picking those stories that probably would make me cry. I usually don't cry when people die. It's a very... specific thing for me. I think I have already given an example in this thread what I "need" to make me cry (which was the song "Ten" by Yellowcard). I think it's also got to do with what I can identify with, or for what I have much empathy in particular.
If you know the anime/manga Air/AIR (not Air Gear, just Air) - that's one I have bawled my eyes out over. Back when I was a kid, I have cried when watching Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer XD (you know, that scene when they bully him and he walks away all alone).
There really aren't that many stories that made me cry. I think it's harder to pull that off with words than with pictures, so kudos to everyone who does manage to do so.

Tl;dr
When the story pulls me in, I am, but usually for suspense and cuteness, as I rarely cry.

do you often become emotional while reading stories?

Not usually- except when it's something really sad (like the Book Thief) or something's ending (like Harry Potter). Other than that, I'm strangely unemotional when reading/watching TV. I mean, I feel a little sad but I usually don't cry and it usually doesn't affect my mood or anything. Oh, except when I was reading about Umbridge in Harry Potter. Everything she did made me really mad and urgh she was the worst.

Ah. So I am not the only one:


Your father is alive

I grabbed the person sitting next to me and started shaking them saying,"Her father is alive! Her father is alive!"

do you often become emotional while reading stories?

Often. Most of the time I just get really excited and stuff. Sometimes I get teary-eyed, but I rarely cry. If you can make me actually cry, then you know you've done a good job (oh, I'm not heartless, I just read warrior cats, where characters die so often you start wanting your favourites to die). I remember a couple of times I've gotten emotional reading my own stories (???), but most of the time I just end up having a major hysteria fit.
...and they say reading is good for you.

Well if its a really good story then yep. Sometimes when I'm reading at school and something happens that I like or don't like, I tend to slam the book on the desk and everybody looks at me funny.... Hm, I wonder why. Anyways or I make facial expressions at the pages I'm reading without my knowledge a lot of the time. (That always ends well around my classmates.)

I don't become emotional when trading stories.
Rarely though.
I barely ever cry at stories, as mentioned before "if you can make me cry I know you've done a good job" Yeah, me too.
I cry on certain topics.. Which I'm not going to day because I don't want to offend anybody D:

Links to your story if you have any: None yet.
Anything you want us to know?: Yes, would the stories i link to need to apply to the forum rules? I would think yes and its not like i post inappropriate content for children. Though maybe some things are probably young adult material, like imagery that might be "Scary" for younger kids. Just let me know if stuff like that is forbidden and anything related. Thanks.

hey peeps.

do you often become emotional while reading stories?

Not persoanlly. If i do happen to get watery eyed, i know its a wonderful piece. I remember "A Dogs Journey" and "A Dogs Purpose". The end of the 2nd book definitely made me cry, just a little. And its so rare. But i laugh easily and anything funny is just funny. I might even be shocked if something were to happen like a horrible secret against the protagonist. Or the death of a beloved character. Anyways yeah i might get emotional.
