As thinkers we're not expected to cry much.
For me? I do cry. Like , once or twice in within 2-5 months.
I don't cry for too long either.
Though sometimes, when I am going through some tough time, or problems, I just can't help it, but cry when I am alone, or when I listen to a sad song/music.
So yeah. I only cry for a reason that I think is worthy crying(breaking up isn't considered a worthy reason in my opinion) , or when I am treated unfairly. Even when I am watching this sad scene in a movie , or news , or even reading it in a book, I do drop few tears.
So, I wonder: do other INTPs cry? (Or generally, thinkers)
How often do you cry?
For how long?
And what kind of things make you cry?

I cry when people double-post.

[Lucretius]

I often tear up when listening to emotionally-charged music (including instrumentals), especially in the morning.

I cry maybe once every 1-2 months. I'm more likely to cry when I have PMS but not necessarily. I guess for me I'm most likely to cry over death of a loved one or a personal failure. Once in a great while a sad song or movie can do this but this is very seldom. Once I start crying its hard to stop because then I'll start thinking of other sad stuff. I try to keep crying under control even when I'm all alone. I like having control of my emotions and when I cry I feel like I've lost control which just makes me feel worse. I also get a massive headache if I cry too much- another reason to avoid crying.

Heck, we're human, not robots, we react in similar fashion to most things life throws at us, but our crying threshold is pretty high.

I don't tend to cry at soppy movies, or sad songs, unless the song seems to be singing my life (which seems to happen when an INTP is at a low point). I cry probably about once a week or two weeks, and it is usually if I am under some sort of stress. I cried last night actually, won't go into why... I have known myself to cry completely randomly - symptoms of stress/depression, but although I don't particularly like crying - I'm feeling emotions that I don't necessarily comprehend or control - thinking about it, it's a healthy way of letting out anything that has been pent up for too long.

I've actually been crying a lot lately. Once I allow myself to feel the emotions, there's no turning back. Now certain songs make me cry. Certain scenes in a movie make me cry. Heck, even simple questions, like "how are you feeling?", make me cry. It's an absolutely nightmare!

That's actually funny to picture.
"Hey what's up??"
"Oh I'm.... WAAAAAAAAAA! "

I cry once every two years or so, though when I do, it's pretty bad...

But I do get teary-eyed once in a while, usually while listening to some song, sometimes watching a movie.

There are some strange occurrences though, when I'm lying down, trying to sleep, but I'm actually thinking intensely about some abstract topic, and then a tear rolls down my cheek. And I realize that while I was consciously contemplating this abstract topic, there was some part of me, somewhere, that was becoming increasingly sad... for some unexplained reason.

Creepy.

I barely ever cry. I'm so disconnected from any emotion but anger that it becomes hard to feel them. This is fortunate because I'm afraid of being weak and have a need to best those around me so its hard for me to let myself be emotional. This is god for me because I don't have to deal with emotion day to day and my world remains logical and ideal for me.

I think I shed a single tear when my parents got divorced but even then I was kind of expecting it so it didn't bother me too much.

I cried when I got hurt when I was little but I don't think that counts.
