Anyone out there really sentimental?

Lately I've been reacting a bit overemotional to stuff most people would consider normal. I find myself almost shedding a tear to stuff that's totally cliche or cheesy. For example I was watching 2012 and I probably could have bawled out at any point from all the cliche moments of the movie. Listening to a song on my walkman on my drive to school my eyes started watering. Seeing some old folks holding hands. Bruce Willis being dead at the end of Sixth Sense. The list is endless.

The thing is I've not always been like this. It's as if all of a sudden everything in life is awesomely meaningful and I'm supposed to appreciate it by letting out with a withheld river of tears... blah must be some kind of chemical imbalance in my body or something.
 
I'm sentimental. I'm pretty sympathetic too. It's interesting, because sometimes I'll value justice over mercy on things I'd expect to be merciful toward.

I cried at Titanic the first time I saw it. Like, bawling my eyes out. Young sure, but no one else was crying in the room, that's for sure. 😛
 
Listening to 2112 can bring a tear to my eye...oh the memories..just listened to it the other day front to back for the first time in a while.

I used to think side1 was epic, lyrically, it seems a little cheesy to me now ......side2 withstood the test of time much better IMO....dudu DU DA da Dudada.....
 
Yeah, I am very sentimental as well.
I think all the estrogen in the water supply is making us soft.
 
I have Asperger's, but underneath it I'm a very sensitive and passionate person, so I often feel I should or shouldn't be crying when I'm actually doing the opposite.

So many people think that being a man means not crying, but that's flat silly. A real man isn't diminished by caring deeply about things other than himself.

Of course, whining is a different story altogether. NO WHINING. EVER.

I'm all for crying and sobbing at movies, especially 7 pounds... but 2012? Really? I was laughing for most of the movie. There is no way I could take that movie serious enough to find any other emotion besides humor.
 
Same here. There's plenty of things worse to be than empathetic. In fact, I think any man worth his salt has to have a sympathetic side to keep the other half in check. Yin and yang and all that.

Also, edro, your avatar blew my mind.

OP, you're fine. Do you find yourself more sentimental during the winter months? If so, definitely check out IronWing's post.
