Is it possible to cry underwater?

Can you sob underwater? No, because you can't inhale. Crying is not much of a crying is you can't sob :P

Yes.  Technically, you only need to suck water into your lungs to drown.  Since doing so usually causes death almost instantly, very few people survive the ordeal.  \n\nThat said, though, if someone is able to force the water out of your lungs and revive you, then you drowned and lived to talk about it.

You probably could, but other than the feeling of sadness, you wouldn't be able to see or hear it.  The water from your eye would just blend with the surrounding water.  Did you feel like you were crying underwater once, but couldn't tell, and that's why you're asking?

You can produce tears underwater, but you can't cry -- unless you want a bunch of water in your lungs!

Please.  Your lungs can not be down as much as 3 feet I believe, or the air would be forced out of your lungs.  Now if you snorkel at normal depth, you can hold your breath and go down as far as you can make it.  But you can't breath continuously unless the air is being pumped.  Your head will not collapse, it's filled with liquid which doesn't compress.

Yes, and I often do, I live in the country and no one can hear me. So if I feel the need to scream, I just scream. You should try it. It is a great way to relieve stress!

Crying or weeping: Is increased lacrimation due to strong emotional stress or pain. This practice is not restricted to negative emotions; many people have been known to cry when extremely happy. In humans, emotional tears can be accompanied by reddening of the face and sobbing — cough-like, convulsive breathing, sometimes involving spasms of the whole upper body. Tears brought about by emotions have a different chemical make up than those for lubrication. \n\n\nSome claim that humour cannot or should not be explained. Author E. B. White once said that "Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind." However, attempts to do just that have been made, as follow.

Sure. Why not? Any tears you cry will rapidly dissolve into the surrounding water, but tears can be leaving the tear duct.

Not unless it's really inflated, and as that only happens when the animal is emitting its sounds (i.e. relaxed and in its natural habitat), you would just puncture it and nothing special would happen. \nThe walls of the vocal sac are really tough and elastic, so it wouldn't be easy.\nAnd why would anyone want to do such a thing?

yes but you you would have to make sure that the water pressure is not too high so only on shallowish sea beds and it would be dangerous if the structure did fail it's bye bye to everyone.\nWe have made air tight structures before (eg space craft and submarines) so its possible just not practical.

Skyler --\nIt IS okay for a man to cry, especially to express his emotions.  It is also healthier to do so when it needs to be done.  Do not put this off until later.  If it is okay to laugh when you are happy, then it okay to cry when you are sad.\n\nIf you do not want to appear as a crybaby, then do not cry like a baby, with loud sobbing and blubbering.  If you do not want to appear to be a whiner, then learn to cry without whining.\n\nThere is never anything wrong with allowing the tears to flow.  But if you want to look masculine doing it, do so silently (a little nose sniffling is okay, so is blowing your nose if that is needed).  Just let the tears fall, do not draw attention to them by continuing to wipe them away.  Take deep breaths, fill your lungs, hold the air slightly before you exhale and cry.\n\nEmotions are meant to be expressed.  When you try to hold them inside, you are doing yourself harm (that is why you feel like you are going to explode).  When you express your emotions honestly, you have nothing to be ashamed about.\n\nOne of my favorite verses from the Bible is also one of the shortest.  It reads: "Jesus wept."

Yes ,sometimes those tears come so spontaneously and you cant stop them how muchever you wish too. In fact the moment you feel you should stop it,the faster the tear stream runs.

Nope, the reason being that you wont be able to equalize your ears as you descend, due to the fact that your sinus's are blocked. This happened to me, I couldnt get past about 5mts down, and had to abandon the dive. Wait till you are over the flu, then go for it

I hope that youre serious....yes, you can...I dont see why not. Your glands does not stop functioning just because youre underwater. In fact, I believe that you even sweat underwater. (",)
