Why do we feel like crying when we see someone else cry?
I had that, I went to see a psychiatrist. I was afraid maybe I have something wrong with me, he told me everyone to some degrees can relate to pain and struggles.So it's not the case that you are currently struggling with something or suffering from depression, because take me for example I have nothing to complain about, my business is great, am leading more than one venture across the Middle East and everything is going more than fine.But if am watching a movie and I saw someone's crying I instantly start tearing up as well and it really consumes me that it changes my mode, that's why I had to see a professional.After long sessions, he came to the conclusion that some people have a severe degree of compassion and empathy that could not be hidden.The psychiatrist was very interested in my case and he crossed references similar cases, he realized that those with this degree of compassion are 90% most of the time religious or could easily be very religious in the right circumstances.Also most of them were very successful in their lives and relatively better than the rest of those around them.I don't think something is wrong with who we are, I think some of us react differently to certain triggers, and I think we have a great deal of compassion that should be embarrassed and put to a better use.
Why do we get watering eyes when we yawn?
When we yawn, the facial muscles surrounding our eyes pull tight. This may put pressure on our lacrimal glands (the glands that are neatly tucked away deep beneath our upper eyelids just below our eyebrow bones.) These glands produce the watery component to our eyes’ own natural tears. They are working to produce and release tears slowly throughout the day to coat the surface of our eyes at all times, not just when we cry (think about it, that is why our eyes always look so glossy.) When the facial muscles tighten during a yawn, the lacrimal glands may get “squeezed” causing them to release a small amount of tears that they were storing to release later.Source: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/8...
My anger comes out through my eyes as tears. It makes me feel weak. What can I do?
I suffer from the exact "anger turning into tears" syndrome.This gets really messy at times. People interpret it as being a sign of weakness. But this is not true. In my opinion it happens only because you are too hurt due to whatever has angered you that instead of yelling and shouting back, your hurt vents itself out through tears. It makes you feel helpless at times because the other person is not able to understand your point.Many people including my family members have pointed this out to me and advised me not to react in such a manner. It is really difficult to implement and I am myself working very hard upon it.I think the best way to get a control over this habit is to stop taking remarks, criticisms and situations too seriously. You need to take a control over your anger and immediately divert yourself into doing some other activity for certain period of time until the strong feelings have left the surface. Talk to the other person after some time. Sure it would be helpful- not only to you but also to the person you are having a fight with.Good luck :)

In your response, be sure to explain how the friendship came about and the ways in which this friendship taught you something. My Essay: When I was 12 years old,I was riding my bike around the neighborhood during the cold month of January.I wasnt looking where I was going, so I almost ran into a another girl about my age, with glasses, short brown hair, and a striped red shirt.With a sad and mean tone, she shouted " Hey, watch where you're going!" Instead of being the combative child that I usually was, I said " Sorry, I guess I need to be more careful while riding this". A few seconds later, the girl bursted into tears and just nodded her head.When I asked what was wrong, she said " I lost my dog, and I cant find him anywhere, I post up posters around the neighboorhood and everyone says that they havent seen him. His name is Scruffy." When she asked me to help put up more posters, I hesitated, because I was on my way to a party. I said"Uhm, sorry, I have to be somewhere, but good luck finding your dog." After she said, "ok and thanks" I left. 10 minutes later, I started to feel really bad for the girl and thought, "Should I go help her?" I really wanted to go to the party, which was only a street away,but I turned around towards her house and tried to decide, what I could do to help. While,riding towards her neighboorhood, I seen a small blond and black colored yorkie that fit the description of the dog, on the girl's flyer. It kept running as I was walking towards it, but I managed to pick it up. As I continued to walk, I spotted the girl and said" Is this yours?"Joy covered her whole face as she yelled "Scruffy!" and she thanked me. I had two more hours untill the pary ended, so I decided to go again, and invited her along with me. That day, I learned a lesson and made a new friend for life.I learned that if I wouldnt of turned around to help her look for the dog, I never would've found scruffy. I also learned that helping someone is more important than thinking of yourself.
When I watch sentimental or love scenes in movies, tears automatically come into my eyes. Am I weak?
NO. You are not weak, but i would add, that It depends. see, this sensitivity of yours can be a gift to you or a liability or curse. see,You are empathetic. and If you can learn to use and utilize it in a proper and controlled way, it can be a huge advantage to you and if not, a disadvantage for sure. Let me go to details :-Interpersonal- no matter what we do we can never leave our emotions behind. They come to you in one way or another. we humans at last are motivated by emotions. when you are empathetic, like in your case, you can perceive their emotions ( that are in most cases, their motives or profound reason of troubles they are facing or causes of their inhibition and self sabotage) in a better way. you can help them, understand them and if you learn proper skills can even influence, lead , guide or manipulate ( lets not be naive here, we need that too) them. This quality of yours hence, can contribute a lot to your social abilities.and about disadvantages, when you do not know how they (emotions ) affect you, you become a slave to them. and hence, become a trouble in other people’s life. we, all see people going berserk and dramatic on roads and public places daily. you have your emotions here something over which you should gain a little authority and responsibility ( you should not try to control them , bury or deny them, that is biggest cause of neurosis). you should be more AWARE of them and bring more acceptance for them. you have this task to do. so, in your case, if you become a slave, you will have a better master. so, this becomes an advantage.intrapersonal- Almost all troubles in a humans life can be traced back to denied and rejected emotions . in your case here, i assume, you have more acceptance and awareness towards your emotions. so that’s better. but as an advice do not get all those get over your head. you should take complete responsibility to bring balance between your head and heart, and of which I believe you are capable. your love life and other close relationships can be nurtured even more if you learn proper skills of handling your emotions.so, at last. I would say, This is not what it is but what you make of it. you are not weak. but gifted in an unique way. Work on yourself and improve yourself. be proud of it, a lot of people out cannot cry and hence, burn out and die betrayed by their heart’s health.If anything else, comment or message.
Do people expect to be taken seriously?
Sad but true. I think we are living in a culture, for the first time in history since the caveman said "ugh", that such a large number of people thought they would be cool, hip and streetwise by imitating and emulating the ignorant, the vocabulary-challenged, and authentic reprobates that are really the dregs of this or any other society. It was only a few short years ago that people strove to better themselves by increasing their command of the english language - not dumbing it down. To elevate their intellect - not take the elevater to the basement of culture with it's noxious fumes and leaky pipes. It's a sad day, my friend. Like foul water seeking the lowest level. I'm suddenly feeling a little ahnedonic, so it you all will excuse me, gotta go pop a cap in that back. Prolly on the down-low, that mofo, dissin me on da hoo. She-ot.
Why do I cry when I feel excited?
This is a natural thing for people who have flexible emotional awareness and intelligence. It sounds similar to “tears of joy” and I would guess, has a promise of feeling lighter about something. Imagine people coming home or being reunited with a loved one after a long time, or receiving an unexpected (but long-deserved) honor. I would guess that along with the “excitement” feeling is a sense that one’s expectations are being surpassed and one’s hopes on the verge of being fulfilled in some way. There may be a sense of lightening of the spirit or of the possibility of dropping an emotional burden one has carried.The thing about emotions is that they aren’t just a simple mental function of the moment but express a whole person — character, history, past experiences and expectations for the future. Positive events can occasion tears as they unwind longstanding negative emotional beliefs. Tears are not just about sadness — they may come with joy, with relief, with frustration or confusion, etc. What these have in common is that one lets go of something, whether an external thing or one’s own emotional disposition (for instance. a burdened emotional sense of how life has been or could have been).
