do you cry when you have strong emotions?

Question

I cry when I am VERY angry, when I feel misunderstood, when I am sad, when my strong morals are opposed, when I am extremely happy...

Answer 1

Some people can control when they cry and others cannot. People deal with their emotions in different ways. I occasionally cry when I am happy but not usually. The times when I cry are generally when I am sad, hurt, angry, or sorry for something. Some cry more easily than others. I personally don't do happy tears very often, and I seldom cry at movies.
The reason why one often feels good after crying is that crying is an emotional cathartic. It purges the body of the chemicals built up due to stress. When your body is under any kind of stress, good or bad, it has a wear and tear effect on you. It produces steroids and brain chemicals. This suppresses your immune system and makes you feel emotionally stressed. Crying provides a release of these chemicals. That is why you feel better afterward, though sometimes tired.
Maybe those who cry more often just process their body's stresses differently, and they need to cry more often.

Answer 2

I cry at times like you mention. Times of strong emotions & usually don't at other times, though today....in sooth, I feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat.

Answer 3

I am exactly the same way.

I don't like crying when I am angry; it does not help me get my point across in the way I want to.....I am not taken as seriously when I cry.
