Alright, I'm probably way off on this, but I was thinking about this while on my 48 hr-no sleep stint. It would seem to me that (physical)pain doesn't make people cry. The more I think about it, the more sure I am that it's (instant) overwhelming stress and anxiety caused by the pain that makes somebody shed tears? Does anybody know anything about stuff like this?
I'm sure that's probably a factor of it, they know something bad/wrong is happening. Also, their nerves are sending signals to their brains, I'm sure that plays a part.
I cry. I'm not that big but I cry. I cry for all sorts of reasons. I don't think there is anything wrong with crying. For some people it's a release. I think it's sad for the lil' ones that were brought up thinking crying is a sign of weakness. I think that would induce a lot of anger because they are always trying to stop the emotion that would trigger tears. I have to ask you regarding that last thread. What did you mean I attract young ones? I'm not going to cry about it.
I guess I should've been more clear. I was speaking completely about physical pain. Ie When I was a kid, I scraped my knee. It hurt, I went home to change my ripped pants. I get inside, tell my parents, and take my pants off. The whole time I'm fine. My mom says the words "You're bleeding" and my face turned to Niagra Falls.
I think it's fine to cry. I'm emotionally unstable a lot so there are times when I get all girly and cry a lot . I meant just what I said. 15-20 yr old guys don't oogle over 30 yr old women all the time. You're really pretty and don't look your age at all. 'Tis all I was saying.
Well i am in physical pain almost all the time...and yes its the pain itself...but now, its more of pain/aggravation that makes me cry...
that reminds me of when i was little and up at our cabin, i guess i scraped up my arm pretty bad, and the minute i looked at it i started screaming. my sister told me i could .... i forget the word she used... started with a g.... anyway, basically she was saying i could really mess myself up and be fine until i saw it
I never cry when I am in pain! It just makes things worse. But yes stress makes me lose my head andI cry my eyes out when I finally get to that breaking point!
i let myself stress out over dumb stuff and i'm a BIG cry baby i usually feel better after a good cry though
you are so right I can only remember one time I cried from physical pain which was like 3 years ago when I fell and hit my head. But I cry all the time at the slightest thing that puts me in emotional disequilibriam.
Thank you ChaosFactor. You have put a smile on my face. regarding not looking my age Funny, I was just having a similar conversation with someone about crying and they were saying how they can get bruised and beat up but if they get a splinter....ohhhh the pain.
i never really BAWL when in physical pain, but my eyes will get misty..the crying kind of crying..that comes with the emotional aspects.
