Okay we all know this feeling, the fangirl feeling, the one where the very thing you love is the thing that MURDERS YOUR FEELS AND KILLS YOU DEAD A THOUSAND TIMES OVER BUT YOU NEVER ACTUALLY DIE OR STOP COMING BACK

I defnitely know how you feel especially with Torchwood and Merlin. I remember I kept thinking during the Diamond of the Day, part 2 I kept telling myself that maybe I should just stop before the last five minutes and live with not knowing. But I knew I couldn't stop my curiosity. I figured I was prepared for the worst. But I so wasn't. I definitely would advise people to skip the last series of Merlin and not watch COE. This was a horrible year for me with my fandoms. I honestly still have not forced myself to watch The Angels in Manhattan yet.
I didn't really feel sad watching The Recheinbach Fall because I know Sherlock isn't dead. Feel bad for John, but it didn't gut me.
Lmao that's how my friend Amber was. She was all "but we know Sherlock isn't dead... why are you crying?" but SHE DOESNT GET IT! I'm a VERY empathetic person. I cry at sad shit all the time because I look at someone else suffering and it breaks my heart. John at Sherlock's grave left me bawling. I still can't watch it without ANY tears. The last time I watched it (about the sixth time watching it) I managed to just tear up a little, but that's cause I tried REALLY HARD not to cry

LOL. And aww it's very sweet that you're so empathetic. I get more secondhand embarrassment for characters. Like I cringe at humiliating stuff.
I think I cried at stuff a lot more when I was a kid. I'm a lot more cynical now. I feel empathy for characters, but it akes a lot for a movie or TV show to make me cry. Even with the last episode of Merlin I didn't cry watching it, but a little while after it was done.
Oh God, I didn't used to cry. I didn't really start crying so much until I started writing a lot. At this point, I cry at sad shit WAY too easily.
STRANGELY, it's generally only fictional sad stuff. I mean, I cry IRL, obviously, but no joke at all, I cried more just at Diamond of the Day part 2 and Angels Take Manhatten than I did over my grandmother's death. I cannot explain it at all. It's like I found the bright side or something (she was really old and died suddenly so I told myself 'at least she had her mind until the end and didn't suffer a long sickness or something). I do that ALL THE TIME! I feel so much more in fiction than in everyday life.
And YES! Secondhand embarrassment! I have moments where I have to cover my eyes for a second before continuing to read.
OH MAN I totally know what you mean about crying more sometimes about fictional stuff than real life. I felt like such a huge douche because Arthur's death sent me into a way longer funk than my uncle that died a few months prior. I mean I felt sad and I cried buckets at his funeral but I wasn't sad for days on end.
