Crying may support to relieve your internal pain and you will feel fresh.

There are many emotions which, when expressed, we find very hard not to mimic. Consider when someone smiles at you, or even the popular 'contagious yawn'. If you look at body language, those who are in agreement will often copy each other (e.g. crossing arms at the same time, leaning the same way, putting a hand to the face in concentration). Crying may be another form of this, a social display of solidarity: "I understand your feelings and empathise" as a way of bonding in a highly social ape (most likely facilitated through mirror neurons) whose survival is dependent on others. An interesting potential experiment - would we be more likely to show this type of behaviour towards ingroup members than outgroup members based on something simple (like the minimal group paradigm?)

Hi Indrajeet,

I think we should consider the importance of mirror neurons which are active when engaging in a particular particular behavior as well as when others are observed in that behavior. In other words, the observer may experience as the observed. See http://blog.ted.com/2013/07/24/what-are-mirror-neurons-further-reading-on-the-neurotherapy-described-in-todays-talk/ for an interesting and highly readable account. I agree with Andrew that social bonding may account for its adaptive advantage.

I think this short video can provide enough material on the types of tears and their functions. In addition, I think crying facilitates a kind of social signalling and may even have a role to play in empathising with another.

Hope this helps :)

Crying is expression of distress, pain, or sorrow. When we cry in response to stress, our tears contain a number of stress hormones and other chemicals. It is assumed that crying could reduce levels of these chemicals in body which could, in turn, reduces stress.

Why crying I do not know.

Crying can serve many purposes as an emotional expression. It can arise from sadness, grief, pain (physical and mental), loss, trauma, despair, fear and sometimes happiness, surprise or relief. Babies do this naturally. Many societies look down upon adults crying in public - those are criticized with words like "cry baby" or being weak. Crying is also an outlet for someone holding any pent up emotions that have not been released or expressed. Sometimes it comes out in the most unusual places - for example one hears a song or watches an image on TV. One should never look down upon the act of crying or a person crying. It is a healthy emotional expression no matter what causes it. Look at it as a relief valve in a steam engine or an electrical fuse in a circuit. It protects you.

Sadness, injustice, need, happiness and etc.

Love can not live without going through the moments or times of sadness

Sadness and love twins .. How we wish to live love after sadness ..

You can not feel the pleasure of love until after a period of sadness

I think crying is one of the expressions that appear on the person accompanied by changes in the features of the face as a result of severe vulnerability, whether joy or sadness or other natural factors, and is accompanied by the tears always flow from the eye through the secretion of the tear gland.

Cried one of the wise men on the grave of his son told him: How do you cry and you know that grief does not help .. He looked to a liquid long and then said with a sigh: This is what Epkina .. And so we also .. weep often and we know that grief does not help. . but nevertheless we find our rest in tears and seek the solace.

I would like to Comment on this Question Scientifically that "These are the tears produced in response to that strong emotion you may experience from stress, pleasure, anger, sadness and suffering to indeed, physical pain. Psychic tears even contain a natural painkiller, called leucine enkephalin – perhaps, part of the reason why you might feel better after a good cry!". The Reason to Cry is these hormones cause the eyes to produce tears, effectively ridding them of the irritating substance. The third type of tears is emotional tears. It all starts in the cerebrum where sadness is registered. The endocrine system is then triggered to release hormones to the ocular area, which then causes tears to form.

Humans produce three types of tears:

• Basal: The tear ducts constantly secrete basal tears, which are a protein-rich antibacterial liquid that help to keep the eyes moist every time a person blinks.

• Reflex: These are tears triggered by irritants such as wind, smoke, or onions. They are released to flush out these irritants and protect the eye.

• Emotional: Humans shed tears in response to a range of emotions. These tears contain a higher level of stress hormones than other types of tears. When people talk about crying they are usually referring to emotional tears.

The Benefit of Crying is Releases toxins and relieves stress. When humans cry in response to stress, their tears contain a number of stress hormones and other chemicals. Researchers believe that crying could reduce the levels of these chemicals in the body, which could, in turn, reduce stress. According to Frey, “Crying is not only a human response to sorrow and frustration, it's a healthy one.” It is a natural way to reduce emotional stress that, if left unchecked, can have negative physical effects on the body, including increased risk of cardiovascular disease and other stress-related disorders.

When your eyes water, they're making tears, just like when you cry. ... All tears come out of tear glands, or lacrimal (say: LAH-krum-ul) glands, found way up under your upper eyelids. Tears wash down from the glands and over your eyes. Some of the tears drain out of your eyes through tear ducts, or lacrimal ducts. Can some one run out of Tears ? "No, you can't run out of tears just by crying for long time. Yes, if you have any associated medical conditions. You can't run out of tears but can have insufficient amount of tears. ... middle aqueous layer produced by lacrimal glands under the eyelid and accessory tear gland which would throw out the dust, debris etc". There is a situation's acutely awful, but you get over it and that's acute grief. There are people who cry everyday for no particularly good reason, who are truly sad. And if you are tearful everyday over activities that are normal in your life, that may be depression. And that's not normal. Recently I had a glance at this post from #8Fact on Facebook claiming that when you cry out of happiness, the first tear drop comes from your right eye, when you cry out of pain it comes from your left, and when you are frustrated, tears come from both eyes simultaneously.

Tear over-secretion is usually caused by irritation or inflammation of the surface of the eye. This can occur for a number of reasons, including eyelash and eyelid problems or allergies. Oddly, a dry eye problem can sometimes cause watery eyes, because the eye produces excess tears to combat the irritation and dryness.

Remedies for watery eyes include:

1.prescription eye drops.

2.treating allergies that make your eyes watery.

3.antibiotics if you have an eye infection.

4.a warm, wet towel placed on your eyes several times a day, which can help with blocked tear ducts.

5.a surgical procedure to clear blocked tear ducts.

These are the Benefits of Crying for Example Has a soothing effect, Gets support from others, Helps to relieve pain, Enhances mood, Releases toxins and relieves stress, Aids sleep, Fights bacteria, Improves vision, However, sometimes frequent crying can be a sign of depression. People may be depressed if their crying:

•happens very frequently

•happens for no apparent reason

•starts to affect daily activities

•becomes uncontrollable Other signs of depression include:

•having trouble concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions

•feeling fatigued or without energy

•feeling guilty, worthless, or helpless

•feeling pessimistic or hopeless

•having trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

•feeling irritable or restless

•not enjoying things that were once pleasurable

•overeating or undereating

•unexplained aches, pains, or cramps

•digestive problems that do not improve with treatment

•persistent anxiety

• suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm If a person is experiencing symptoms of depression, or someone they know is, then they should talk to a doctor. I am hoping that above Discussion would give the Answer to the Question why we Cry? Regards

Some people get depressed sometimes because of the loss of someone dear to them, or because of loss of work, or money. The shocking, powerful and sudden positions may lead to this, and the symptoms of this depression continue to cry all the time for no reason.

There are many different reasons for crying, the most important of which are: feeling sad. Pain and a sense of physical pain, and this varies greatly depending on the personality of the human and the severity of his pain. When fear or panic. Anger and excessive nervousness. Satisfaction and love. Expressing thanks. Of the intensity of someone's longing. Be affected by someone else crying. In addition to hypocrisy and here is a phenomenon not emanating from the heart.

Do not cry when the sun is gone, because tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.

Crying is a normal human response to a whole range of emotions that has a number of health and social benefits, including pain relief and self-soothing effects.

Crying is an adaptation as same as fear in evolutionary psychology. 1. Crying is a sign of surrender. It shows obedience and no attack.

Crying is a kind of emotional response to a particular feeling, usually a feeling of sadness or pain, which is a response to certain circumstances and events but may also be the result of a beautiful feeling or a joyful event.

Many scientists believe that crying is good for health, helping to get rid of body toxins caused by tension. Psychologists believe that long-term non-venting may be dangerous to one's health. A few studies have suggested that preventing emotional tears from falling apart may cause An increase in the risk of heart disease and pressure, and other studies have indicated that people suffering from diseases such as ulcers and inflammation of the colon are less expressive of their feelings compared to ordinary people.

Emotional crying seems to be a unique human behavior. Animals were shedding tears as part of a natural eye work, and there were unconfirmed reports of animals sabotaging occasional emotional tears, but for the most part, only humans weep from grief and other complex emotions. Interestingly, humans cry in the context of some stereotypes, as well as their opposite, or "peer" feeling. 1 For example, we may cry of grief at a funeral for the death of a loved one, but also with nobility at the birth of a newborn. We are likely to cry of heartache when the romantic relationship comes to an end, but we are more likely to cry at the wedding we are witnessing forging a new association. The emotions we experience at these moments are difficult to put in words and often go beyond "happy" or "sad." Cry may help us communicate what we feel in a way we can not.

It helps ease pain...

Crying is one of elements that help to venting & remove the pressure and the pain on the human soul,

Crying is a blessing in disguise. Crying helps us to not only calm ourselves, but also maintains our eyes.
