It is common for every person to experience certain emotions. Women often express too much joy or sadness in tears. But men very rarely cry. But they still cry.
Bitter men's tears
Men have long been considered less emotional creatures than women. But does this mean that they do not have the need to cry when their feelings are very deeply affected?
Tears can appear in the eyes of men in two cases - because of great joy or because of the strongest emotional shock, such as the death of a loved one.
If a boy grew up in a family in which men's tears were condemned as weakness, then becoming an adult man, he will be ashamed of the manifestation of his feelings, including tears.
Such a man will hide his tears from everyone, especially since the reason for them will only be an extremely important event, often negative.
Tears can appear on a man's face due to severe trauma, due to the inability to endure terrible pain. As a rule, this is accompanied by emotional decline, being in a hospital in poor conditions, loneliness with illness. A man can cry even when the doctor makes a disappointing, fatal diagnosis.
Such tears are from powerlessness to change anything, from resentment towards the whole world.
A man experiences something similar from the news that someone from his family or friends suddenly died, went missing in the war. In this case, tears are triggered by the body's defense mechanism, as a defense of the psyche.
Men cry with joy
The cases mentioned above are governed by the unconscious area, tears of shock provide an opportunity for an emotional outburst. By releasing negative emotions in this way, it is easier to survive the tragedy. However, not only tragedies accompany men's tears.
Psychologists have long noted cases when, regardless of gender, a person has a natural need to cry with happiness. For a man, such a shock can be the birth of his own child. The miracle of the birth of your little copy touches men's hearts and makes you cry with happiness. Tears of gratitude for the birth of a son or daughter show how important it is in a man's life, how seriously he takes the role of a father.
A man is also capable of crying with happiness and joy in such cases when he receives unexpected good news, for example, that his sick relative survived, recovered. During the war, men cry when they receive news from the front from their son, brother, father.
Whatever the reasons for men's tears, they show real strong emotions.
