There's also some where you just want to cry along with her...like at the beginning of her Portrait Book when she's reading the baby book her mom kept and gets to the part where her mom writes about the first time Mary Anne smiled at her and she loses it. Oh,that brought tears to my eyes too...

Absolutely favourite Mary Ann crying moment:
In "Dawn and the School Spirit War" when she doesn't want to participate in pajama day, and is agonizing over which pajamas to wear.
FFS girl, slap on a big t-shirt and some sweats and call it a day- is that really such a massive internal dilemma?
I swear, Mary Ann is beyond shy and has a verifiable social anxiety disorder.

This isn't about a specific crying moment, but does anyone think that Mary Anne goes right past crybaby territory? I consider myself a crybaby, and I have NEVER cried as much as she does at thirteen. It's not even the happy crying. I hate scenes as much as the next person, but I only cry if things get really hurtful. Like saying I'm not mature enough or capable of being a university student when I have passed all of my papers thus far, and the quiz I nearly failed won't even count. But while Mary Anne is sensitive, and that's fine with me, the way she cries so much is too unrealistic.

Eh, I cry a lot, especially at movies and things. I probably would tell someone to eff off if they said something mean to me rather than cry, but I cry a lot over things that are sad or touching or whatever. And classical music or ballet, forget it. While I think it's one of those traits that the ghostwriters might have used to make a flanderized Mary Anne, it's not so unbelievable or weird to cry frequently at things other people might not.

I consider myself a crybaby, and I have NEVER cried as much as she does at thirteen. I kind of agree. I'm a total crybaby as well, but wasn't like that at 13 (and I was very shy and sentimental then too). I really can't remember crying all that much even when I was hurt or embarrassed or really happy.

I don't know. I've known adult women who look and act like they may burst into tears at any moment on a semi regular basis. I personally try to have a death grip on my tears and not do it near other humans.

I only like to cry alone. I don't want people, be like. Are you okay? Asking me other questions. I don't need to answer billions of questions, when I cried. I rarely cried.

I'm not a huge crier but lately I have been crying out of gratitude and appreciation, sometimes noticing signs and synchronicity in life.

I consider myself a crybaby too. I wonder if Mary Anne is going through major depression that causes her to act like that?

I like that they wrote that into the books, because it's so realistic. People who squash their feelings/anger are more likely to suffer from depression, especially females.

I can get emotional as her too at age 32..over touching/beautiful stuff, a sad episode of my favorite fandom, if I'm angry or if I have to say goodbye to someone I am not ready to leaves.. My favorites are when she cried after Jessi and Mal made up as well as when she cried because Buddy was singing Elvira a lullaby.

I don't usually enjoy her crying, though I usually sympathize with her when she does (I rarely cry but do more often get a little over-emotional/misty-eyed, including even about some perhaps constructive criticism).
My favorite/most memorable moments were some of the more serious and particularly believable times, especially in #46 when she found, to her complete surprise, that Logan would be in her group.

This moment never played out in a book, but was a passing mention in number 83. Mary Anne apparently sobs when watching Barney... When I first read that, I had to re-read it again just to make sure I wasn’t losing it.

Mary Anne is a highly sensitive person or an HSP for short. It's a perfectly normal, healthy trait that about twenty percent of the human population carries... www.hsperson.comNot all HSPs are the same, though...some HSPs are outgoing and not at all shy. Famous HSPs...Lady Diana and Oprah Winfrey.
