Crying
What is
crying?
Crying is the
shedding of tears in response to an emotional state.
Why do we cry
?
Crying can be
seen as a voluntary action but it is mostly seen as an involuntary action
caused by emotions. American psychiatrists believe that crying has a lot of
benefits as it is ways for patients and society to release their pain and their
feelings. Crying does not only hold benefits for you but for the people around
you. If you begin to cry , it is a sort of signal to the people surround you to
inform them that you are frustrated or overwhelmed or in need for someones
attention. In psychiatries, crying patients enable the psychiatrists to
understand what the patient is feeling.Crying is not understood yet by
scientists however they believe that it also has some form of biochemical
purpose. It is believed to release stress hormones and toxins from the body.
Lastly,crying is also useful when used as a social function for example, to get
what you want by making the people around you feel bad for you.
Women cry
more than men, is this true? Who cry the most?
Women tend to
cry more than men do but experts believe that this is simply because men feel
that crying will create an image of weakness. « When it comes to crying, the
population as a whole is on a spectrum with some crying easily and others
rarely ».
Scientists are
not sure about what causes some people to cry more or easier. All we know is
that it has something to do with temperament. However another reason is that
some people are more emotional than other and provoke tears easier is because
they have had a tough past. People with a a harsh history of trauma have been
found to cry more and especially if they cannot seem to forget about their
trauma. If a person refers back to their past it will generate more feelings of
hurt leading to them generating more tears.
