Has anyone seen anybody cry at the 341?

As a poster that replied to this thread sharing my own emotional experience, which is NOT an easy thing to do btw, I appreciate that this topic helps and is taken seriously by others.

I appreciate this thread. I am new here and feeling very insecure and unsure and scared about the situation i'm in. I am crying reading all these posts!

This thing is so serious and could be life changing and I am worried about which way it will go. I am afraid I'll cry and embarrass myself even more so it's nice to know i won't be alone.

It can be an emotional situation for a lot of people going to a public forum discussing personal financial issues especially when it deals with debt. I had my 341 over a week ago and I saw a lady with a box of tissues. Most people just took it in stride. I was a little nervous going in but after I listened to a few clients testimonies I got my game on and took care of my business and walked out the office with my head high. It was quite a relief to get it over within 5 minutes and had answered all the questions without hesitation or stumbling. I was prepared to do well and I did without letting my emotions control me. Now I am part of the 60 Day Club and nothing could be finer.

This site has a vast amount of great info, but this has to be the dumbest topic I have read here...

It is a topic-related item, quite popular with all the responses and filing BK is a highly emotionally charged life event. You don't have to read threads that don't interest you.

not really, try the political discussion section for really dumb topics. Some folks find comfort in knowing that others have passed this way before, and knowing that they are not alone in their emotions.

I'm anticipating crying at mine. I'm emotional to begin with, but the time of our meeting will just happen to fall right after I've had a baby, so why not walk right in with post-partum depression? lol

I cried like a baby at the first 3 attorneys I talked to...make that 4...you would think these people make enough money to have a box of kleenix on their desk...NOT!!! Not a one...unbelievable..the first interview no one told me it was a t.v. satellite boy that was a shock..bad enough talking about all this to a stranger let alone it was on a blasted tv...Geez....
I can definetly see me crying my eyes out at the 341..

I didn't see anyone cry, but I did see a lady kick her husband under the table, when he started talking just a bit too much regarding the value of land they owned.

Women..such fragile creatures. It should have been tears of joy since you are about to be free of debt that you've accumulated for years. Worse they can do is dismiss or convert or take away your material things that probably belonged to a creditor in the first place. In any case i didn't see anyone cry at our 341.

I never thought about it before, but maybe that's why our trustee tried to keep it light and kept cracking jokes with everyone. To prevent people from crying over the whole thing.

Tears of joy. Our 341 was done so quickly that it seemed it was over before it even started. The stress of it all culminated at the 341 and when it went so smoothly I wondered why I had fretted so.

But to answer your question, no, I didn't see anyone even get upset. The trustee was cordial and quick. All that went before us had representation so maybe that had a lot to do with it.

The very first lady called at the 341 was so nervous she burst into tears. The trustee was nice enough and I think her breaking down calmed the rest of us.

Oh my gosh-my eyes are swelling up with tears just reading all this! Don't know what will happen once we have our 341

I felt like I was about to cry at any moment while waiting for our 341.

I totally lost it during one lawyer consultation. The lawyer was kind of arrogant and judgmental. I just lost it and was a crying mess. It was so embarrassing! Poor guy didn't know what to do after that so he ran and fetched tissues! We didn't go with that lawyer.
