emotional

Someone on AskReddit asked for people that got married or entered into a relationship, to share when they knew it was a mistake. Maybe keep an eye out for these warning signs, if you feel like you and your loved one have been off as of late. 

These kids and their meltdowns don't look too far off from how adults can feel muddling through a busy work week, and just wanting to cry about it. Sometimes you just need to melt into a hysterical puddle of emotional despair. 

This guy decided to live tweet his poor buddy's marriage falling apart in a blaze of glory. Turns out the guy had stopped gambling, but never said he'd stop for good. It was that detail alone that sent the conversation with his partner into a terrible downwards spiral. The devil is in the details, man. Buckle up and enjoy this emotional rollercoaster. It might be an oldie, but it is absolutely a goldie. 

These wholesome pure feels pull on the heart strings. This guy's story starts in on when he lost his parents as a 10-year-old, to a nasty drunk driver. From there, he was taken in by his uncle, and grew up battling a terrible sadness. 

Fast forward to when he's 22-years-old, and still hasn't had a relationship with his girl, until his uncle takes him to a sandwich shop after he loses his job; and ends up meeting the love of his life in a chance encounter. His uncle plays quite the wingman, and even calls the girl on his behalf to get things in motion. This is one of those stories that you read nervously, with hope that nothing goes south, and amazingly...nothing does! 

We're not crying, YOU'RE crying. This guy's grandmother fell in love with Dungeons & Dragons while she was battling cancer. The feels trip is truly brutal in this story; but at the same time, it's a beautiful tale of a strong woman finding peace in the bonding experience of playing a board game with new friends, and family. 

This viral Twitter thread effectively breaks down what it's like living with grief. It features the "ball and box" analogy to illustrate living with grief, and many folks seem to be connecting deeply with it. 

For all the terribly inconvenient calls we've had with cable and internet providers, it's encouraging to see a person go the extra mile to effectively help someone who needs it. You hope your customer service rep is like this. Just kinda feels nice to see some interpersonal understanding, in a wholesome sort of way.

Someone on AskReddit asked people to share the things they don't talk about in their family. The resulting stories are pretty grim. We recommend buckling up and bracing yourself. 

Talk about a tough realization to have as a parent. You might be a parent and assume your kid's been busy being a little angel, only to realize they've been stirring up all kinds of negative chaos as their school's resident bully. 

AskReddit users share some of their experiences with "lost love" and the resulting thread is a definite rollercoaster of feels. Love hurts, man. But with enough time you might get over the one love that didn't end up working out like you'd originally planned. 

An AskReddit thread asked people to share their most brutal breakup experiences. The resulting stories are full of pain, and make humans look like cold monsters. Breaking up with someone through text has got to be the lowest blow, and worst kind of result from living in a technologically-infused era where we can avoid the hard face-to-face conversations, by hiding behind our phones. 

Check out some more juicy gossip from AskReddit, with this list of people divulging their dirtiest gossip.

Why'd he have to go and make us feel emotions! It hurts. 

Twitter user @guiltyart, started up the kind of thread that gets the waterworks going. Are you ready to cry your eyes out? Alrighty, then by all means take a deep dive into this emotional Twitter thread about all the movies that managed to break people inside. Sometimes a storyline or a scene in particular just hits you right in the damn feels, and there's nothing you can do about it.
