Is it normal to not cry for years?

Depends.It depends

Yes, some people go years without crying, and that alone doesn’t mean anything is wrong. If you feel emotionally numb or the change is upsetting, it may be worth talking it through with someone you trust or a professional.

People vary a lot in how easily they cry. You might feel emotions without tears, or you may have learned to hold them in; some medications and stressful periods can also affect crying. Not crying by itself isn’t proof that you’re cold or that something is wrong with you.

What matters more is how you feel overall. If you’ve also been feeling numb, unusually down, or cut off from things you normally care about—or you miss being able to cry—consider talking with someone you trust or a mental-health professional.
