Crying or weeping: The third category, generally referred to as crying or weeping, is increased lacrimation due to strong emotional stress or physical 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.

In my opinion people cry due to emotional pain bacause the mind does not differentiate between physical pain and emotional pain. Despite the moral dictations of some of our cultures such as the English and German which prohibits displaying emotions such as fear and grief, our minds still feel it and display it
physically. In fact, I believe crying happens more often in association with emotional responses than with physical pain.
As a baby incapable of actually shouting for help, human infants have but one automatic reponse that communicates need or distress : Crying.There are three basic physical reponses to stress/threat :Fight, Flight and Cry. These are automatic neotonous responses that all humans posess. When your brain gets scared or determines loss or threat of death or some other bad news, it activates the automatic stress response center in your brain. You get mad, you run, you cry, or all three at once. But there is another side to crying that I don't know I have an answer for - it seems to me that once I became a mother, my tears flowed more freely. Every little thing my daughter did would bring tears to my eyes - but tears of joy and pride. I believe the emotional center of our brains can also allow some people to produce those tears a lot more frequently than others. I also know that when I was in the movies, I did not have to "conjure up" much or use motivated skills to bring tears when I needed them - they would come. Finally, when I yawn - tears fill up in my eyes so rapidly and plentiful that people think I am crying about something....

Who cries? You? I bet, it is you. Don't ever let anyone see you cry, crying is for girls and babies.Real Men don't cry, we "DEAL". So if you are a "crier", you need to check yourself. Because I think you may have lost, a couple of testicles, somewhere. Girls cry because they Aren't emotionally stable and they need an artificial type of "emotional outlet". They use this activity, so they can try to be sane again, or to manipulate people (cuz girls are devious, by nature). Don't include me, in this crying thing. Go to prison and see what happens, to a guy who cries all the time.
