Emotional tears contain more protein compared to other types of tears, causing them to flow more slowly down the cheeks, thereby providing a visual display of one’s emotions.
People Admit What Always Makes Them Cry
Do you consider yourself a cryer?
It’s okay if you are, no judgments here, friend!
And if you seem like a real harda**, chances are good that certain things still make you break down and weep.
AskReddit users went on the record and talked about what always makes them cry. Let’s see what they had to say.
1. Legends.
“When the musicians in Titanic start playing Nearer to My God Thee after saying goodbyes and then joining together till the end.
What a group of legends.”
2. Sorry for your loss.
“My dad passed very traumatically from a house fire.
He kept running back in the house to make sure everyone else was getting out okay, and he was struck and burned by debris. He spent 5 days unconscious in the ICU before his heart failed.
He had a small youtube channel where he would mostly record engines he was working on, and when I miss him a lot, I go to those videos and cry every time.”
3. Great movie.
“The ending monologue of movie The Shawshank Redemption.
“I find I’m so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border.
I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.””
4. Terrible.
“Can’t Gelp Falling in Love by Elvis.
Was supposed to be the song my sister and her fiancee danced to at her wedding. Instead it was played walking into the church, at his funeral, after he took his own life.
My poor sister was so strong that day, but that song still gets us both.”
5. If I knew him now…
“Thinking about how poorly I treated my dad when he was still alive. He was always trying to find things in common with me to connect with me.
When I found out he liked something I also liked, I just changed my mind and found it uncool. I looked down on the tv shows he liked and didn’t realize until later that he had an awesome taste for quality campy television like The Adventures of Brisco County Junior and other classics from that era of ’90s syndicated television.
If I knew him now he’d be my best friend. I did try to connect with him in the last few years of his life but he had dementia by then and couldn’t follow things I knew he would have found interesting before.
His last words to me were “It hurts” while I held his hand during catheterization on his last trip to the hospital. I was too embarrassed from seeing his pe**s to offer any true comfort.”
6. Always so hard.
“Thinking about my dog’s last day.
She was 17 years old and her organs were shutting down. Before we took her to get put down she was in the backyard eating her food. She walked slowly to us while wagging her tail and we took her in.”
When we got home to bury her I looked over at her dog bowl and there was still a bit of food in it. K**ls me every time I think of it.”
7. The kitten.
“Thinking of that abandoned little kitten I found. I called him Mortimer.
Tried to keep him alive. Bottle feeding him. Keeping him warm, skin to skin. Staying awake through most of the night. Calling in sick day after day to stay with kitty. Emergency vet scheduling with them saying he probably won’t make it.
Kitty didn’t make it. It’s when my oldest cat slowly stalked up to the cat, nudging her nose against Mortimer’s head. Mortimer didn’t move. Didn’t react. I put him in a shoebox with his blanket… So he would not be cold.
Buried him and left a little pebble for a tombstone.
That was twenty years ago.
I’m sorry, Mortimer. I couldn’t save you.”
8. A sad one.
“The end of Homeward Bound.
Especially when Shadow says “Peter! You’re ok!”
Like, they went through all of that and almost d**d multiple times and Shadow was just glad to know Peter was ok.
Gets me every time.”
9. Dealing with grief.
“My wedding song.
My husband d**d in an accident a little over 3 years ago only 5 months after we got married.
All I need to hear is the 1st note of the song and the grief hits hard.”
10. Nostalgia.
“Strategically placed albums from my youth.
If I am half drunk and someone begins to play the album “Four Cornered Night” by Jets to Brazil, I will become uncharacteristically nostalgic, and then openly sob at the idea of how good I was at being 18 years old, vs how shi**y I am at being 38 years old.
Getting old is weird.”
11. Oh man…
“Watching “Fox and the Hound”.
I was watching the part where she releases Todd with my 5 year old daughter. Her with a catch on her voice asking why. Me explaining. Her in tears saying she’ll take him, she’ll take care of him.
Now I cry. Every. D**n. Time.”
12. A happy ending.
“The ending of The Pursuit of Happiness when he finally gets the job.
The struggles leading up to that point makes me tear up all the time when they finally give him the position.”

What Never Fails to Make You Cry?
I simply can’t watch videos about dogs being abandoned or about to be put down or sick or injured ones.
Why, you ask?
Because they make me cry, okay?!?! There, I said it!
What always makes you cry?
Here’s what AskReddit users had to say.
1. A beautiful letter.
“My late partner passed away from leukemia at 38 years old. He hid a letter for me in our room incase he didn’t make it. It’s the most beautiful and eloquent thing I’ve ever read.
He talks about regretting not being able to see my hair turn Grey, or seeing me accomplish my dreams. He gives me permission to fall in love again, be messy, and move forward. The level of support is so encouraging.
It’s also a heartbreaking read and I’ve only read it 3 times. I will read it again on the 2 year date of his passing at the end of this month.”
2. Horrible.
“One particular patient I had working in a trauma center. 19 year old girl I’d never seen before, and didn’t know at all.
She was ejected from a vehicle and then crushed because her boyfriend was trying to show off. I was training new staff, and they were at the end of their training so I was only in the room to provide supervision and step in if necessary and I spent the entire trauma holding her hand (on her request) and trying to comfort her and keep her mind off of the injuries to both of her legs.
Her last words were spoken directly to me: “this really hurts. Can I go to sleep?”
I cried for days after. I’ve never had a patient’s death hit me as hard before or after.”
3. Sad.
“I live with my autistic son and when he is with me and not with his mother I have literally no time or energy to think.
When I am alone every future for him plays in my mind and I can’t think of a happy ending. Some day he will lose me and his mom and will be alone in a place for people with special needs.
And I read tons of articles and others how this all is for autistic people like him. It breaks my heart every time to think about him as an elderly person who has a broken heart but can’t communicate it straight.
I hope I will be live long enough to outlive him, I am just 20 years older.”
4. Brutal.
“The scene in Saving Private Ryan when the medic gets shot and d**s on the field with the rest of his group desperately trying to save him.”
5. Pets are family.
“One of my cats stopped eating on Friday, and Saturday we took her to emergency after we got the bloodwork from our regular vet.
Some sort of super aggressive bone cancer, and making the decision to euthanize her is the hardest thing I’ve done so far.”
6. Gone too soon.
“My daughter’s best friend d**d in a car crash a couple of years back.
She was 18.
She’d been coming to our house since she was 4 or 5.
She’d become a part of our family. Even when her and my daughter would have the silly arguments kids have when they become teens and a bit more independent, she’d still make herself at home the next time she was round.
She had a smile that lit up the room.
When I think about the night she died, I cry.
When I think back to the heartbroken faces of 8 teenagers that appeared at our house an hour after it happened, I cry.
When I think about how her family must feel, I cry.
When I think about how her death has impacted my daughter’s life, I cry.
When I think about how her life could’ve turned out, I cry.
Even writing this, tears run down my face.”
7. In recovery.
“I’m a member of a 12 Step program and in meetings we give out chips or keychains for different amounts of clean/sober time.
After giving out multiple years, one year, six months ……. etc etc, the meeting chair will ask if there’s anyone new or “coming back” (relapsed and is returning to the program) who wants to take a 24 hour chip.
When anyone gets up and takes their 24h chip, the room INVARIABLY gives them the loudest applause and cheers and welcomes them back.
The whole room knows how much courage it takes to come back and how scary it can be to get up and walk to the front of the room for that chip. It’s such a beautiful thing to see and it makes me cry every time.”
8. What I missed…
“It’s my kids.
When they were little, my mom had a brain aneurysm, my dad spiraled into a deep depression and they lost their home and business. At the same time, my mother in law has a stroke and my in laws’ finances collapsed and they were on the verge of losing their home too.
So I worked crazy hard to be everyone’s rock. I worked multiple jobs to help out my family. When I wasn’t working, I was taking care of them emotionally and physically. I so drained that i didn’t have much left to give to my kids.
I missed soccer games and school plays and trick or treating and first words and countless other things. Thankfully, my wife was there for them. So they got to experience all the good things in childhood….I just wasn’t there for it. Even when I was physically present, I was exhausted and cranky.
Now they are teenagers and don’t want to be around me. I just want to hold their hands, tell them that I love them and do something fun with them — anything at all, I just want to be with them. But my chance to hold them, teach them new things and experience the amazing joys of childhood with them are long gone. It tears me up inside….I’m bawling on the couch right now typing this.
Yes, all the work paid off. Amazingly, both my mom and mother in law are alive (with physical impairments). My parents lost their house and business but they’re in place that works for them. And my in laws went through bankruptcy but were able to keep their house. I’m glad it worked out. But god….it hurts thinking about what I missed.”
9. RIP.
“I miss Robin Williams.
Remembering that he’s not around anymore always makes my eyes sting a little bit.”
10. Addiction.
“Whenever my addict Daughter gets arrested (4 times in the last two weeks).
Whenever a look at a picture of her. Whenever I remember a memory of her when she was little and she was still my angel. Whenever I try to think of something I could do to help her and realize that I’ve already done everything a parent can do, and it hasn’t helped .
I cry when it gets cold out, and wonder if she is stuck out the night somewhere, cold and lonely. I cry when I look at her 8 year old daughter, that My wife and I are raising. I cry a lot lately.”
11. A sad song.
“Hearing ‘The Living Years’, by Mike and the Mechanics.
My dad is still alive and I hug him whenever I can.
But man, this song hits me in the feels.”
Okay, now it’s your turn.
What always makes you cry?

Totally Serious Reasons That Toddlers Were Crying
I know there is some controversy on whether or not it’s okay to post all of the silly and hilarious reasons your little emotional teapot is crying today. It’s not nice, some say, to make fun of your kid on the internet before they are old enough to understand what that means or say it’s okay.
That said, there’s something to be said for parental solidarity, and being able to laugh with other people going through what you’re going through, and just for keeping your sanity amidst the sea of chaos that is living with kids under five.
Photo Credit: Pixabay
In the spirit of connection, not of meanness, I share with you these 17 truly baffling reasons kids are having meltdowns out there.
16. It’s those days you have to try very hard not to chuck grapes at a child.
“My 2.5-year-old asked for five grapes. When I accidentally brought six he had a meltdown, so I took one away. He then cried harder because I took one of his grapes.”
15. That is not feminist at all.
“My toddler had a gigantic tantrum because ants were only called ‘ants,’ and there weren’t any ‘uncles.’” 15. And that’s how we knew she was a parseltongue.
“My sister threw a tantrum because she couldn’t climb into the snake enclosure at the zoo. She said they looked lonely.”
14. I mean honestly maybe there should have been.
“The 3-year-old I nanny had a tantrum because I didn’t pack his bathing suit…to go to his grandma’s funeral. I guess since we kept saying it was a ‘celebration of Grandma’ he thought that meant there would be a pool party.”
13. She just has a lot of feelings, okay?
“I work in childcare, and today a toddler was crying hysterically in the corner. When I asked her what was wrong, she sobbed, ‘He took my ball…and then he gave it back!”
12. Is this sweet or crazy? You decide.
“My daughter bawled because she didn’t want me to get wet — I was taking a shower.”
11. It’s an acquired skill.
“My nephew flipped because he couldn’t fake burp.”
10. It is supposed to be a sign of good luck in some cultures.
“I’m a nanny of a 3-year-old who had a meltdown — I’m talking devastated crying — because his brother’s car window had bird poop on it and his didn’t.”
9. I mean it’s probably not about the cup.
“My son had a nuclear meltdown because he wanted water in the green cup, and I gave him water in the green cup.”
8. Well onions are good at making us cry.
“I teach preschool and two of my 3-year-olds got into a HEATED argument because they thought only one of them could like onions. There was sobbing. Rage. Tears. All over onions.”
7. Get it right, lady!
“My 3-year-old asked for ‘water, ice,’ and lost his mind when I called it ‘ice water.’ You’d think the world was ending.”
6. You need to get that girl some friends. Or some talking dolls.
“My daughter has a meltdown every time we play with her dolls because I can’t make four different voices at the same time. She screams and cries because there’s just one doll talking and not all four.”
5. That is a long time to hold onto a wrong.
“For about a year my daughter sobbed every time we got our mail because the door to the building opened from the right and she wanted it to open from the left.”
4. I don’t even know what that means but it kind of sounds legit.
“My 2-year-old threw a fit because she couldn’t put her shirt on like pants.”
3. Let him murder your face, dangit!
“My 2-year-old had a meltdown because I wouldn’t let him put a pillow on my head and then jump on it.”
2. A tiny stockpiler in the making.
“My 2-year-old brother throws a tantrum every day because he wants us to buy more bandages.”
1. Hey, his body, his choice.
“My toddler threw a fit at the doctor’s office because we had to measure his height. He’d done it before just fine, but this time it resulted in a full nuclear meltdown. It took three of us to get his height. The shots, though? Those were OK. He just quietly sat still and let them happen.”
My kids are still 3 and 17 months, so I’m guessing a lot of this craziness is still on its way to my house!
What’s your favorite (and by that I mean insane) reason your own kid melted down?

Crying Is a Sign of Emotional Intelligence and It’s Necessary
We have this strange idea that crying, or letting people see us upset, somehow diminishes us in their eyes.
That it makes us weak, like someone who can’t take care of themselves or handle what life throws our way, and I don’t know how this idea began or why it became so engrained, but it’s wrong.
Totally, 100% wrong.
One of my favorite quotes is from Charlotte Bronte:
Image Credit: Pixabay
“Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you’re alive.”
We are human, and actually, a crying when you feel like it is a good way to “reset” both your body and your mind, to free yourself of negative emotions, and focus on what caused them and how to avoid the situation in the future.
Roger Baker, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Bournemouth University, has further thoughts about why we cry, and why it’s necessary.
Image Credit: Pixabay
“Crying does help us process faster than if we don’t cry at all, but it’s not the only thing – it’s part of a package of expressing it. If your father died, your natural reaction would be to cry.”
He adds that it’s not the passage of time that eases pain, but how quickly and honestly we’re able to look at and process the emotions that go along with it.
And Dr. Judith Orloff agrees that crying plays an important role in human life.

“Crying makes us feel better, even when a problem persists.
In addition to physical detoxification, emotional tears heal the heart. You don’t want to hold tears back. …Try to let go of outmoded, untrue, conceptions about crying. It is good to cry. It is healthy to cry. This helps to emotionally clear sadness and stress.
Crying is also essential to resolve grief when waves of tears periodically come over us after we experience a loss.”
In short, you don’t need to feel badly or apologizing for expressing the full gamut of human emotion. It happens to everyone, it’s totally normal – and healthy. We should also keep this in mind the next time someone cries in front of us and tries to say they’re sorry.
Assure them there’s nothing to be sorry for, then maybe give them a cookie.

Men Talk About the Last Time They Cried and What Caused the Tears to Fall
Men aren’t supposed to show a whole lot of emotion and they’re definitely not supposed to cry in our society…at least not in public.
But, guess what? Men cry, too. Even if we try to keep it hidden from everyone, it happens.
The males of AskReddit opened up about the last time they let the waterworks flow.
1. Always very hard.
“I had to put my cat down yesterday, that sucked.”
2. A sad story.
“My marriage was on the verge of collapse when my ex-wife got a job offer in another state. She had been unemployed for some time so she had to take the job. We decided I should stay behind since I had a steady job and divorce was inevitable. My wife moved out and the kids stayed with me until she got a home in her new city.
Taking my kids to the airport and putting them on a plane to move away from me was soul crushing. I held it together until they boarded. Once they got on the plane I lost my shit.
My kids only lasted a few months with mom before packing up and moving back to live with me.”
3. “Might go cry again.”
“Sunday. Wife has sudden onset of insomnia and anxiety since christmas which has started to trigger panic attacks. She had one while i was at work and called me. When I was free to call back my son answered the phone. I was sobbing listening to my 6 year old talk her through the breathing exercises we had practised. That kid gets ice cream for life, no questions asked. And I might go cry again.”
4. That’s harsh.
“My ex fiance left me after I spent 9 days in the hospital battling duel pnuemonia and almost dying.”
5. Totally lost it.
“I was tucking in my 7 year old daughter a couple of months ago, and she told me that she was worried about me dying before her (i’m only 42 and healthy). So I had a conversation about how old I am likely to live and that she will be an adult when I die. Then she said “but when you do die will you help me, because I need you so much.” and I lost it.”
6. Sorry for your loss.
“Months ago when my best friend was found dead in his car after a week long search for him. Turned out he killed himself.”
7. Childhood dog.
“I’ve teared up a few times, but last time I legitimately cried was in 2010 when we put my childhood dog down. I was a senior in high school, we had him since I was in 1st grade (1998). He was my first and only childhood dog, a Siberian husky and I feel like we grew up in that house together. He had some cancerous tumor in his stomach that was spreading rather quick, and the attempt at removing didn’t go so well as they couldn’t get it all.
We decided as a family to let him go peacefully so he didn’t have to suffer as they promised us it would continue to grow and possibly cause him severe pain in the near future. I’ll never forget holding him in my arms in that room as the vet asked me if I was ready for the moment. When she injected him I felt his entire body sink into my arms, he was lifeless in an instant. I was so happy he went peacefully without pain, my best friend growing up.
I’ve never expressed my emotions from that moment to anyone besides my parents and my current girlfriend. Whenever I think back to that moment I get teary eyed but I’m happy I was there for him in his final moments, I wouldn’t change a thing if I could go back in time. Please try and be there for your pet if you ever have to make such a decision.”
8. A happy story.
“A few weeks ago, when one of my best friends told me he’s going to be a dad.
I can go for months and months without shedding a single tear, but these news got me really emotional, in the best sense of the word.
This has been an eye-opening experience for me, as I had no idea I was capable of feeling such things.”
9. Didn’t have to yell.
“Month ago.
Was yelling at my kids because they were misbehaving and I put them to bed early.
Broke down afterwards and cried on the stairs. Knew I didn’t have to yell as much and said some unnecessary things.
Wife talked with me on the stairs and it turned into a turning point in my life and I’m doing much better with the discipline.”
10. Awful.
“While I held my 4 year old daughter in my arms and realized there was nothing that I could do to save her from dying from mitochondrial disease. I don’t think I had ever cried so hard before or since. 7 years later it still haunts me – but time does make it less painful.”
11. Lost it.
“When my gf broke up with me through a phone call after 6 years. Just couldn‘t hold it together.”
12. New member of the family.
“My daughter was born the start of last year. Think I must have cried for a solid hour.”
13. Fingers crossed.
“Last week at our first ultrasound. Wife and I have had two miscarriages and we had an appointment and saw the heartbeat. This little peanut has stuck around the longest so far. Fingers crossed.”
14. An emotional guy.
“I’m more emotional than your standard guy. I’ll tear up fairly frequently, even at movies and the like. Usually with things involving loss of parents.
Last time I would say I actually cried-cried was when I decided it was time to go to a therapist and in the initial meeting was just offloading all the reasons I decided to come and why I thought I might have a touch of depression. (I’m doing much better now)
Last time I straight out ugly-cried/sobbed was when they put my mother’s casket into the vault at the mausoleum, almost 5 years ago now, while hugging the hell out of my brother.”
15. Keep moving forward.
“Last year on my birthday, because I made it this far and some of my friends did not.”
Some interesting answers in that AskReddit article, that’s for sure.
Alright fellas, time to spill the beans. When’s the last time you cried and why?

These 20 Iconic Movie Scenes Brought People to Tears
We’ve all cried at a movie at one point or another. My personal experiences usually have to do with animals in sad movie scenes. People…not so much.
A Reddit user asked, “Which movie scene brought you to tears?” and here are the moving responses.
Here come the waterworks.
1. Coco
“”The ending of Coco, when Mama Coco recognizes the song that Miguel is singing despite her dementia because her father used to play it when she was a kid. Wow okay, I’m getting emotional just thinking about it.””
2. Gladiator
“The whole last five minutes of Gladiator: “I will see you again my friend, but not yet… not yet.”
3. 12 Years a Slave
“12 Years A Slave, seeing his grown children after he escapes back to the north. Seeing his granddaughter brought me to tears like a blubbering idiot.”
4. Guardians of the Galaxy 2
“I don’t do crying, especially movies. They’re not real people. But when the Ravagers showed up for Yondu’s funeral, someone was cutting a helluva lot of onions in the theatre…”
5. The Truman Show
“Final scene in The Truman Show where he turns to the camera and says, ‘In case I don’t see ya! Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.’”
6. Good Will Hunting
“I feel like this movie has lost its hype but re-watching it last week and seeing Robin Williams breaking Matt Damon down into tears is just such a powerful scene. 10/10 movie would and will watch again.”
7. Up
“My grandmother had just passed away after an emotional week of ups and downs in the hospital. My wife and I decided to go to the movies just to take our minds off from recent events. Up was the movie we went to see. Other than the not having kids part, it was like watching my grandparents on screen. I doubt there will ever be a scene in a movie that will hit me harder than that.”
8. The Green Mile
“The execution scene from The Green Mile, Michael Duncan Clarke was the first actor that ever made me cry.”
9. 50/50
“50/50 going into surgery. This movie is so looked-over, but it’s honestly probably the best performances of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen.”
10. Schindler’s List
“At the end of Schindler’s List, when he’s looking at his few possessions left, and thinks of how many more people he could have saved if he sold the car, or whatever.”
11. Toy Story 3
“Toy Story 3 when the gang accepts their presumed fate in the incinerator and all reach out for one another, the worst being when Woody finally gives in and takes Buzz’s hand. I always thought this part hit harder than Andy leaving after giving the toys to Bonnie, that always felt more bittersweet than anything.”
12. Interstellar
“Interstellar when he watches the videos of his kids aging 25 years in front of his eyes.”
13. The Land Before Time
“In the movie The Land Before Time….. When Little Foot’s mom dies….made me cry as a kid when It first came out in 1988…makes me cry now.”
14. Inside Out
“I watched that when I was 38 years old, and I cried like a little girl with a skinned knee. Like straight up ugly-face, snot-bubble, breath-hitching sobbed.
The lady I was seeing at the time not only didn’t cry, but didn’t understand why I did. I’m not saying that’s the reason we’re not together, but I’m not denying that it was a factor.”
15. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
“The beach running scene from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. After what that movie put me through, I just lost it then.”
16. Ghost
“At the end of Ghost, as I was wiping away tears, I saw my-brother-in-law hand my husband a dollar bill. ‘Told you she would be in tears by the end.’”
17. The Pursuit of Happyness
“The ending of The Pursuit of Happyness got me. When he got the job, I had held it together up until then but I just let it out. It just resonated so much with me because my parents really struggled as immigrants and worked very hard to give my siblings and me a better life. Great movie.”
18. Pan’s Labyrinth
“The ending of Pan’s Labyrinth made me ugly cry for about an hour. Then I was irrationally angry at Guillermo del Toro for years after. He wrote and directed it and it destroyed me. Damn it, I’m starting to cry just thinking about it.”
19. Titanic
“That scene in Titanic where the old couple is lying on their bed holding each other, they’ve lived a long life and have accepted that it’s now the end. Idk it gets me every time.”
20. My Girl
“The funeral scene from My Girl. Doesnt matter what part of the movie I walk in on, it’ll always make me start bawling.”
