Default i cry a massive amount. should i seek professional help?

so like the title says, i cry on a semi regular basis and its not because i have a lot of bad things happen to me. examples:

1) cried on FOUR different occasions during the last harry potter book.

2) cried during the movie ELF

3) during my last HS wrestling match i was losing and i cried. not because i was losing, but because i was in my last wrestling match.

4) cried when GWB was re-elected.

5) recently cried during gone baby gone.

6) was recently dating a dancer, or i thought i was anyways. turns out she had a boyfriend and she was using me. shocker here, i cried. twice.

is this normal? i assumed it was, but recently a few of my friends have been mocking me and saying i should seek help. i cant tell if they are being mean or if i should really talk about my issues.

Agreed.

You don't need professional help or anything, but you are clearly very un-dude.

you're being very un-dude here.

in all seriousness, i am a dude who cries probably more often than most. i used to find myself getting choked up during movies that didn't really merit it, or at an emotional song or something.

in general i would say that this happened to me more often when i was depressed or in a bad way with life. i find myself less prone to it when things are going well. you may start crying over something that's not all that upsetting even if it's not what's actually bothering you. i would keep an eye on your general mood and affect, and think about whether you want a change. if so, you can see somebody, or you could look into something for yourself, whatever. even if you find that you need to make a change, therapy isn't the only option.

As a Canadian, I've cried everytime the US peso keeps dropping in value.

Sergeant McCaskey: You know, Roger, you are way behind the times. The guys of the 80s aren't tough. They are sensitive people. Show a little emotion to a woman and [censored] like that. I think I'm an '80s man...
Roger Murtaugh: How do you figure?
Sergeant McCaskey: Last night I cried in bed. So how is that?
Roger Murtaugh: Were you with a woman?

I cry more often then a average 22 year old, but not as much as the dude. I dont think its necessarily a bad thing, sometimes its hte best way to express your emotions
