Like I said, there's nothing wrong with crying during a movie, but it is still embarrassing to be sitting there crying. I cry at a lot of movies. Sometimes I don't even know why. It could be something really simple and *boom* here it comes. I think there's a difference in being ashamed and being embarrased. Shame comes from thinking/knowing you did something wrong. Being embarrassed, to me, comes from not being able to help yourself. I can agree to disagree, if you can. I could care less what people think about me, but I still get embarrased if I'm sitting there weeping like a little bitch.

PS: that "weeping like a little bitch" bit was a joke.
: that sort of macho thinking went out long ago.
: I cry all the time if I need to, especially during movies.
: It's a source of pride for me actually.
: I'm very proud that I'm not ashamed to have feeling.
