I hadn’t cried in 7 years and decided to do some emotional exercises to make myself cry. So I managed to cry about 4 months ago, haven’t been able to since even with my grandmothers death. Might start trying again.

    Just a couple days ago, thinking about my cat that I had to put down ~6 months ago. He was sick and in pain but I’m still sad about it.

    I don’t think you need to push yourself to cry. Everyone processes their emotions differently. For a long time I also didn’t cry much/at all. I was very guarded about my emotions. Between getting older and my wife, whom I can be completely open with, I have gotten more emotional as I have gotten older.
