What makes you cry when you are sad?  I understand what makes you cry when you feel physical pain, but emotional?  What makes you cry when you are sad?

The psychic tears (or emotional tears) require an emotional response, or trigger to be activated. This response can be caused by an outside source, either pain or loss of love, etc., or from an inside source (self-realization of one's life and others). When emotions affect us, the nervous system stimulates the cranial nerve, in the brain and this sends signals to the neurotransmitters to the tear glands. Thus, we cry .The largest tear gland, the lacrimal gland produces the tears of emotion and reflex. Many believe that the body, in times of emotional stress, depends on this gland to release excess amounts of chemicals and hormones, returning it to a stable state.

just take a deep breath and exhale and try to calm yourself down...wipe the tears from your eyes and try to keep pleasant thoughts...you can be happy if you let yourself...I don't know about your emotional state of mind but try not to let life get you down hon...there's too much to live for...good luck and good life...

Overwhelm yourself with friends. \nI get over things like that when I hang out with one person or a group of people that NEVER make me feel bad. \nAlso pick one person to cry on. Don't conseal it completely or you'll explode!

because, usually when we do it, you have broken our heart.  So, for our emotional pain, you get physical pain.  Either that, or you just needed to get a swift kick in the balls.

It depends upon why one is sad - is there a solution to the problem so one won't be sad anymore? or is the problem that a loved one passed away and one is sad because of this reason?\n\nBut in order to make oneself feel better - there are a variety of ways - some eat - but tend to overeat when they are sad - others run and do exercise, some read, some contemplate and some do yoga - it depends - do whatever you feel will help to lift your spirits.\n\nTime will heal those wounds - just try not to dwell on it too much - things happen for a reason.

There is no such thing as what you "should" feel. What matters is how you feel and how you want to feel. How do you want to feel? What would help you feel that way? Go do it!

Why do you feel sad?  We reap what we sow.  You were alone today because you haven't gone out of your way to make it any different (make friends).  Do you aknowledge anybody elses birthday?  I'm just asking these questions because I had the same thing happen to me years ago and I realized it had everything to do with my decisions.  \n\nHappy Birthday--we are here!

I do when I think to much negatives about myself, but that usually happens at night when I'm alone... and no not that often right now. Other times I'll cry for my family, if someone is sick, or something. But if I'm too emotional sometimes I'll cry seeing something sad on the news... or of course a sad movie, which is why I don't like dramas. I'll also cry out of anger. I don't think it's bad, it's better than screaming and cussing out someone like some people do. I think I am a very emotional person, but at the same time I have learned how to work with it, and I'm happy that I have.

I believe that crying is not weak. It just shows that you may be emotional. Us guys have a big ego... you know its true. We want to think everything is weak, and we are its superior. Hey I know its true. That's why you wont see that many guys crying. However I believe it is better to cry.\nFor ex. Your boyfriend breaks up with you, but you don't cry you try to keep it in. Someone might get the wrong impression that your not upset over this and you really don't mind.\nSo I would say, you must have a strong personality to start crying.

Honestly, I think it's pretty hard. I'm sure your significant other hurts because he doesn't want to see you sad. But it can be hard on those around you. Make sure he knows what you're going through. If he knows, maybe he'll be able to understand a little bit better when you don't want to do anything or are in a bad mood. And if he tells you he wants to help you, let him. Because not only will that make him feel better that he can help you, it'll prob also make you feel better.\n\nGood luck :)

The actual feeling is from nerves.  Your brain can put your body through some hell when in stress, panic, anxiety, heartache.  Like when you mourn the passing of a loved one and you cry so hard your whole body shakes, or goes into spasms.  You mourn that person with your whole heart and soul.

Good question, I dunno-- I don't cry a lot because I absolutely hate being emotional. Everyone in my family always says I have a black heart--jeez that hurts! Well, I really do have a heart just to let you know. I tend to cry during war movies--I love them, but they're sad.

Yes, sad movies make me cry (sometimes).  No, my family and friends don't all know how much I love them.

When I see my daughter struggling with hurt or sadness and not being able to fix it for her.  When we have to send my boyfriends son home, I worry about him.  When my boyfriend is depressed and I can't cheer him up.  When my mom is sick and I can't mend her.  I don't like to see my loved ones suffer.

Crying is better than keeping it in, keeping it in is what causes more emotional problems
