If you don't feel it, take some acting lessons. Either you've got no empathy or feelings or you're just trolling.

But I wanna overwhelm myself with emotions and cry. I have empathy, and feelings (lacking sometimes) but I'm not trolling.

When have I ever trolled.

Hmm, spend an hour with a Catholic priest... alone

Taking a kick to the junk might be reliable though.

I still wanna reproduce and be fertile.

Then reproduce. I guarantee you'll cry eventually.

Cutting onions never did it for me, never ever made my eyes tear, so I one day decided to take a whole onion, put it right in front of my nose and inhale... never again.

Interesting! Admittedly, the strength of the effect depends on the onion though. The small ones are meanest in my experience...

No, it didn't matter. I remember in school, during a domestic science lecture me and my friend were cutting onions, his eyes were red and teary, but the same onions had no effect on me. 

Just remember to call me when the onions take over the world.

I never had that problem either. I always put the freshly sliced up close to my nose, since I love the smell as an appertiser. Never once cried over that.

Er... if you cut onions under cold running water (over a strainer, of course to catch the onion bits), you won't have the onion assault your senses.

True story. I always cut onions under cold running water.
