I have cried so much during quarantine that I’ve actually lost count 😳
This is the earliest I've been,HAI.
_''Lesser than I expected.''_
@@aminahasan4438 Same, I've never been so early before 😅
me either!
I sometimes cry when I’m angry and I HATE that.
Same :(
Me too. I only cry when i'm in rage, I like it though because I feel relief after crying.
I think it comes from frustration. When I'm frustrated I get angry and when I get really angry I cry.
Am I the only one that cries while silent screaming?
@@Charchar.nguyen yes.
You're the ONLY one who cries quietly.
The rest of us BOO HOO into old age.
Emotional tears make you feel better once you're all cried out
Plus it relieves me of stress!
and after crying, i start to laugh since if i've been crying long enough and it's not a huge deal like a grade i forget what i'm crying about or laugh at the reason i'm crying. Also, maybe unrelated, but sometimes when i'm in pain, like a flu shot, i giggle, i think to make my body reassured and not focus on the pain. sorry that was so long.
@@peepandstitch ayyyy, you get me! Also when you can't find the words to say and you just cry then fumble up your words yea stuff happens like this.
sometimes this is true for me but sometimes it even sadder after...

If my teachers were half excited as this guy, i'd be a scientist for sure.
One of my middle school science teachers had scale he named _Bruce Springscale_ at which point I immediately stopped taking him seriously. I can personally attest that excitement alone does not a good science teacher make.
@@Shatterverse if that happened to me, they would be the best teacher ever
My teacher teaches class like he's some kind of jerk. 😇😅🤣
I would’ve got student loans and went to college but oh well
For real!! It makes such an extreme difference, enthusiastic teachers made me love the subject no matter what. For a few years, history was my favorite. It's been environmental science and biology since.
Ok but I've always wondered: if I cry when I'm watching a movie, my face is fine and after 10 minutes you won't be able to see that I cried, but when I cry emotional tears from an emotion that I experience myself, my face just gets soooo red and puffy??? Has anyone else noticed such a difference??
So True, I bet it’s to do with stress hormone released when stressful emotional real life event
YYYYYEEEESSSSS whyyyyyy?
Our eyes go red and puffy because we usually rub our eyes after crying.
Irritating the eye is the reason for dat
@@bhaswanth6572 eh when i cry i kind of just hug my knees i dont usually rub them
Maybe it has to do with the amount u cry?
When I cry from acting vs when I cry from emotion my face gets equally puffy, but when it emotional my eyes do get more red
This is only anecdotal, but my brother in law is trans, and he said that when he started using testosterone treatments, he noticed that he cried a lot less often. He said that he still felt the same level of emotion, but the threshold to start crying became a lot higher.
that’s actually really interesting
Wait whattttt that makes sense tbh, they should do a stufyv
Thats fascinating! Id like someone to look into that
Yeah. I've had other transguys tell me that
i'm trans and i can vouch for this, its like i physically can't produce tears anymore, even though i'm possibly more emotional than i was pre-t.
As a dude its really hard to cry. Its not like i dont want to but everytime i get sad it just wont come out
This is interesting in combination with another comment here, saying that a sibling felt like it became harder to cry once they took testosterone. They felt the same emotion but there were no tears
So don't feel guilty when you don't cry when grieving over someone's death... I remember how confused my brother said he was when he saw me weeping but couldn't bring out a tear when the bad news came
Only times ive cried in the past 2 years is when I was severely unhappy or grieving over a lost relative, other occasions don't make me cry anymore
Same and i am a woman.
I'm a guy and I haven't cried in a long long time (several years, and I want this to change). The only time I see tears is when I'm extremely tired and have yawned a lot.
I cry at most movies... even the ones that "aren't even cry movies" according to my husband (i.e. action or comedies). What can I say? I'm just extremely evolved.
I cry when the scenes are overwhelming, it's either happy or magnificent lol for example I cried at the beginning of Lion King live action when they sang Circle of Life
Hey same same same! It's such an embarassment 😂😂 And the thing is... I never cry in real life, I'm actually a pretty tough nut😂😂
For some strange reason, I mostly cry when I watch documentaries, but I don't cry when watching dramas, or romance.
@watch Earthlings documentary pls be their voice bruh, there's a time and a place, right here is not one of them.
Btw I do agree, but don't do it here.

Whenever my partner looks at me in the eyes for longer than 1 minute I cry because I love him so much I literally have no words to describe it 😭 That theory of “we cry when feelings are non explicable” makes so much sense
Aww, that’s so sweet I’m happy for you guys
1 minute?
Gurl okayy now calm down 😭 we get that ur man is good lookin
im trans, and after starting testosterone i do cry less than i used to. i know alot of trans guys who say the same, as well as trans girls who experience the opposite, where they start crying more because of the female hormones
Interesting, I wonder if the social norm is therefore less heavy than we thought.
Makes sense, women tend to be more emotional
Wow that's interesting
There have actually been studies that show testosterone supresses the crying response
Bon Soir huh? In this case of what OP has written, it is to do with the hormones (ie testosterone) and biology, NOT social norms...

For my entire life I’ve only been able to emotionally cry from my left eye. It’s the strangest thing. Only half my face goes red and everything. But when I eat sour candies my right eye waters, and sometimes it just cries randomly, only ever a few drops. But I’ve literally never cried out of both eyes at the same time. What the heck
According to yesteryears you are a witch lol
Oh no time to get the stake ready, we’ve got a witch on our hands

*Crying makes me feel more comfortable than smiling*

Yes
Same but am I the only one that gets a headache after crying?
@@HnTr_VDH Nope ur not alone. My head feels so heavy after crying or even a headache.
The smile you get from looking at a cat ot other pet is a absolutely wonderfull feeling tho
I cry when I see other people cry. I literally cried watching THIS. C'mon. What's this even mean?!
Based on absolutely no data, your response might work similar to how people tend to yawn when in the presence of other people yawning. Again, I have no evidence for this, but it might be linked...
Sameeeeee
Google mirror neurons!
You’re overly emotional.
I don't know. why do you cry when you see others cry, what was your mental process? I'm the opposite, i get even more emotionally disengaged when others cry, so I'm very curious about this.
Ive heard we cry bc our brains get overwhelmed and crying is the easiest way to release the stress
I think I’m the only one who enjoys crying and likes the feeling of being somber while listening to sad music or movies. I find it cathartic.
can relate, but curious about your mental process
Me too! It still varies so much just even in the music realm. Sometimes it’s like a release so I cry, sometimes it’s like the artist has got inside my head and that connection makes me cry. Sometimes it’s just a really sad piece of music 🤷🏻♂️ all good though, personally it doesn’t bother me.
@@evildead2002 same here, but only when I want to, most of times I’m calm af
I find it hard to cry as an adult. However, if I do I find it both sad and enjoyable at the same time. I know this sounds contradictory and I cannot explain it.
And then there's me who cries almost every single day

"We cry when we don't have the words to express your emotions"
So, does that mean people who speak languages with a wider array of words cry less in comparison to people who speak languages with a lesser array of words???
Being at a loss for words is not the same thing as having a limited vocabulary. You misunderstood the term "not having the words to express your emotions".
Given enough time and clarity of thought, I'm sure most people can eventually describe and talk about their emotion. But in the moment of extreme emotion, words are difficult to summon.
I know that when I am feeling overwhelmed I am feeling so uncomfortable that my brain cannot focus on figuring out why I'm feeling that way, so I end up crying instead. After I finish crying my mind is clear and can figure out why I was feeling that way.
@@moltenbullet thanks for the explanation 😅
@@annaeeee7516 Can totally relate 😅
It was just that, I was thinking about the study that shows people who speak languages which have more names for wider spectrum of colours can distinguish colour more easily ........
...... So, I thought maybe that works with emotions as well but maybe not.

I agree
I cry when I’m extremely frustrated because I fear getting angry and exploding on others.
Me too. Sometimes i'll be really angry and then my brain will just suddenly switch it to sadness, to me its better to be sad and cry then possibly emotionally hurting someone else with my anger.
@@limeylemon1685 Yup. I feel that
My brain mostly focuses on anger. I don't lash out, but I get angry very quickly. As for crying, I don't remember crying for the past, like, 7 months.
Edit: Changed "Last" to "Lash"
Anyone else feel personally called out when they saw this video in their feed through a fog of tears?
Me!! I started crying and BOOM there was this video
I've never seen anybody so excited about emotional crying, but I love it! I think it's beautiful how humans can express many emotions through crying, whether it's rage, sadness, or happines. It is just simply amazing and unique. I'm glad more people think like that!

Crocodile: Hold my tears.

Fun But Silly Fact: Your comment has more likes than ASAPSCIENCE's pinned comment. (As of 4th February 2021, 7:30PM GMT)
So we're supposed to feel empathy and wanting to help when we see someone cried, but weirdly enough, seeing/hearing other people cry sometimes can make some people feel anxious and unfomfortable (e.g. crying baby on a plane that everyone seem to complain about.) Why is that?
@Psychosomatrix Actually, that kinda make sense, at least to my personal experience. When someone cry and I feel uncomfortable, my thought was, "Gosh, I wish I could help them/know how to help." My inability to help while wanting to help made me feel restless.
@Psychosomatrix interesting take
I guess the distress makes us uneasy, the crying is so apparent that it’s distressing us as well?
Could be because those who react negatively to seeing/hearing others cry were brought up in an environment where crying was not okay (weren’t taught how to feel, express, or accept their emotions) and/or they learned that there were consequences for crying (rejection of expression: ex.:”stop crying, or I’ll give u something to cry about”). Suppressing emotions often leads to people feeling extremely uncomfortable with their own emotions and others’. The result is consistent rejection of emotions/feelings (especially crying or “negative” ones) from themselves and others’. Especially if they are expressed outwardly (ie: crying)
So drinking sad tears increases your protein intake!? Let's go bro, sad boys about to get swole!
@watch Earthlings documentary be an activist if u want ppl to be vegan this is the one of the worst ways to do it, nothing against vegans I think it’s great but this is not the place and scaring people with dying animals is not a good way to spread ur message... maybe talk about the benefits of being vegan first and talk about it in a revenant place.

@@klarabarunovic9841 wdym it's a legit survival technique
I don’t know if thats true because your tears are saltwater
@@kleox6138 doesn't crying makes you lose body water and drinking it back only makes you drink what you lost? So you are basically not really progressing...
@@klarabarunovic9841 you'll probably take in even less because a portion would evaporate on the way ^^
I rarely cry, but when I do, it's only when my negative emotions are so extreme I can't express it through words.
Also, I don't seem to be extremely empathetic, so it makes me even less likely to cry.
Sometimes I just need a cry session, nothing may particularly be getting me down but I still need to cry regularly. Anyone else or am I an absolute lunatic?????
I cry EVERY TIME I get frustrated. So this makes a lot of sense.
Wonderful how this arrived on my feed right after I finished crying during my prof’s office hours...
Hope y’all are doing ok because you matter

I’m just here singing ‘Every Tear is a Waterfall’ as this video plays out.
Someone once joked with me that my bladder was located too close to my eyeballs 'cause I cry when I'm happy, I cry when I'm sad and I cry when I'm mad. When my son was young, we saw the original Star Wars movie in the theatre 11 times. I cried at the ending every time 'cause I love it and I was touched. Don't judge! LOL
@Tara It was a joke ... think what the bladder does and what would happen if it was located close to your eyes - your eyes would leak frequently.
I’ve seen a dog cry emotional tears, and it hits way harder than any person crying.
Just wanted to know out of curiosity..... what kind of scientists are Greg and Mitch? Like Physicists, Chemists....?
Biologists... I think?
@@mariekejae13 I also had that opinion at first sight because most of their videos are explaining biological components or concepts.
@@doodlyhoodly right... 😁
Soo i went and watched a 7y/o video of them cause i remember watching it once and turns out they are both biologist, and Greg has a Teaching degree and minor in Arts, Mitch is a musician and has written most of the songs and "soundtrack" for the channel
Also they were babies and it was wierd watching that now after watching this video, they've really changed a lot
The catharsis after a good cry session is good ✔️💯😌
apparently emotional tears have stress hormones in them so that’s why we feel better after we cry
it’s literally releasing the stress
Tears not teachers
Your energy towards science is so appealing! Thank you for your brilliant insightful content.
When I cry, I'm made to feel ashamed for "losing it" so I refuse to do it when anyone is around. I hate the feeling of crying and generally get angry when I do. I know this isn't healthy but you adapt to your surroundings
I cry at the sight of extreme beauty. People helping others, hero kind of stuff. I also have only cried in front of one other person.
this dude talking about crying like it is the best thing on earth. feeling u
idk why but as far as I can remember I cry every "chance" I get, and it's complicated to deal with it on a daily basis, I can't control it. Frustration, fear, sad, like just talking to a teacher can make me cry
When my cat was dying last month I felt this overwhelming urge to cry and the tears came out slowly. I never thought there was a difference in the speed of emotional tears versus allergy tears.
That's weird. I definitely cried more during puberty than as an older child. The crying was less dramatic and shorter-lived on average, but more frequent. My number of full-blown meltdowns decreased, but I cried in some manner basically every day. Of course, that's also when my depression started.
I have never seen any person be this fascinated with CRYING.
U are radiating such warmth from this screen.
:))
I’m sorry they just took out there organs, I feel like that would be quite painful
They are braindead, that means they cant feel
i literally just learned this in my human growth and development class yesterday. crying in babies is a reflex, not emotional tears. kinda like the same reason why elephants cry, irritation or pain.
I cried at the beginning of the movie Up. I was in a movie theater.
I, along with at least 10 other people, left the theater with tears streaming down my face after seeing Saving Mr. Banks. Theater employees near the exit: "every time with this film" 😅
FlyingPastaKitty me toooo I felt embarrassed but it was sooo emotional montage
So fascinating! I'm an adult woman, and I cry maybe 5-8 times a year. Usually when I feel like there's too much I'm taking on and nobody is willing to help me. Emotionally charged things like loss of life get a few tears out of me but I shut it down fast. I hate the feeling of crying, it's just as unpleasant as throwing up to me
Testosterone does make it harder to cry, my friends who are on testosterone have a way harder time crying than when they weren't on testosterone.
I enjoy crying, I feel vulnerable and I can really cry myself out, emotionally release. but I don’t want people see me cry, unless it’s someone I like, I like show them my vulnerabilities.
Is it weird that I cry (not exactly cry) but have tears from only my left eye when I'm cold?
I have the same, but then my right eye
It means you’re a witch acc to the 17th century 😬
My 2 cents. I know sometimes I’ve cried over something like music, not just because it’s beautiful but because I’m almost grateful? a certain piece just exists so I can have an emotional bond with it. It’s hard to explain.
00:37 hits hard bruh
Crying is a great way to finish off all your negative emotions from your mind, and get back on track !
Whenever I cry, my eyes well up, but the tears don’t actually fall down my face. The only other person I know who is like this is my brother. Is there some reason for this or am I just weird?
I hate crying when I'm legit sad or upset at something in my life. That feeling is truly the worst. But if I'm crying at a show or movie, no matter how hard I cry, it's not a big deal afterward bc it was just a movie and had no actual impact on my life. But sobbing over something terrible in real life...that shit is gut-wrenching.
"Think about the last time you cried"

This guy is a hoot, great video. I loved the theory that we cry when we don't have the words to express our thoughts and emotions.

I can cry when I want to. It’s pretty useful when it comes to “heart-touching stories” when it’s actually not. It’s really easy, just take a deep breath then breathe out but block it at your nose, you will immediately feel like you’re going to cry. “Practice makes perfect” so keep on, I can do it.... but of course it takes about 1 minute to shed a few tears, that’s enough to make a scene
Why has the thumbnail for this video changes like 300times today HGNFJDJSJJS
Ikr!! I thought they were different videos about the exact same topic before I saw it
Almost cried
Keep up the good work
Idk I feel like I’ve seen dogs cry when they’re emotionally sad
I agree
Yeah, I guess it's also a stress response that the brain relieves trough crying.
As a theatre student, I wonder if there is a difference between an actor's tears on stage vs their tears that come from personal hardship.
Is it just tears from the left eye when getting married? If not I might be a witch
Best comment by far
a max of 3 tears from the left eye only = witch, hope that helps! ;)
@@jacquiz.6837 I will keep this in mind.
Anyone else crying while watching this for some reason? 😥
My maternal grandmother had Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) she cried inedibly easily. Even in a completely neutral setting like a grocery store or eating lunch if someone looked at her and said, 'Oh love, don't cry.' Even if she hasn't been crying before. Nothing had happened. Just that was enough to cause her to tear up and cry for the next several minutes.
I always felt bad when my grandpa would gently tease her about it at Sunday dinners, which would make her cry, which made him chuckle. I don't think he meant it maliciously. I only saw him do it at Sunday dinners with family: her dad (my great grandpa), her siblings (my great aunt and great uncle), her kids (my mom & Aunt and their spouses) and us, grandkids at Sunday dinner.
Looking back I think he found it an endeering quality of hers-- that she was so tenderhearted. Although she smiled through her tears and handled his 'teasing' with grace, I think it was embarrassing for her. She was a pretty introverted/quiet person.
I'm nowhere near as sensitive as she was, but I wonder if I inherited a little Psudobular affect from her whenever I'm crying at random RUclipss like this. Or maybe it's hormones. 🤷♀️

My dog cried when we put her down because she knew what was going on. Only humans cry emotionally? I'd like to say otherwise
It's easy to assume that the dog is crying, but those tears are actually caused by something other than emotions. ... Like humans, dogs have tear ducts to help keep their eyes functioning properly. However, a dog's tear ducts drain the liquid back towards the throat and nose area instead of spilling out.
She might have been crying from pain not from sadness of having to go but from the pain
You did the right thing

Refresh page
I feel like a broken record always having to repeat this, but people always make the same comment: views are calculated based on the amount of time spent watching the video. Clearly you clicked on the video before that amount of time had passed, thus why no one would have been able to watch it for long enough for it to count as a view. Likes are calculated on a per click basis, therefore it's immediate.
Keep in mind that this video was just uploaded, so guess who will come flocking in: the fans of the channel. The ones most likely to like the video before enough yime has passed for it to be considered a view.

I miss the old videos so much with just the drawings. It was so aesthetically pleasing and entertaining to watch
For me crying is one good indication that the series or film is worth the watch
I’ve become acquainted with a tear I haven’t experienced before. Sure I’ve cried st movies weddings cried from anger from laughter and funerals . But after losing my sons I’ve notice these tears I cry have a mind of their own … they jump from my eyes at the slightest provocation. They are heavy heated and stealthy.
