Crying
How do you cry? Like, what causes you to start crying when you are upset? Or when you are in pain. I can understand in pain it may be a natural reaction to the body, but when you're feelings are hurt or something, how does that work?

I can't give you a fully scientific answer, in fact, I'm not sure if scientists have totally figured out WHY we cry when we're sad, or upset - perhaps they have, I don't know.
Either way, crying is relief of emotional or mental stress. When things start to build up, and I've got fifty different people all spouting off at me, plus chores and schoolwork, and 32 very demanding animals, home conflictions, friends whose lives are taking a turn for the worst - yeah, those are times that I just want to cry. Not beacuse I have physical pain, but because of emotional and mental stress / pain.
I've cried for my boyfriend, if he wasn't feeling good, or something bad happens in his neighborhood, frankly, it scares the CRAP out of me. He doesn't live in a "wonderful" neighborhood, and whenever something bad happens, often I'll either write about it, or talk to God about it, or call up my "sister." But no matter how I get my feelings about it out, I'll probably cry.
Sometimes I cry out of sheer happiness. I can't explain that one. I'm just so happy I want to scream, jump, skip, cry, hug - anything. I don't know why though. But that's only sometimes.
Sometimes I cry out of pain, emotional pain. Like missing someone... I miss someone so badly that it makes me cry. :
I don't cry over physical pain though. Just... I don't. The last few times I had something REALLY bad (physically) happen to me, I pulled the tendons, ligiments and nerves attatched to my hamstring and knee. It hurt like crazy, but never once did I cry. After that I pulled the tendons in my elbow. Didn't cry about that either. Before both of those incidents, I fell badly and scraped my knee up - there was a piece of rock in my knee. Now that wasn't fun, and it really hurt. But I didn't cry.
However, being sick (like with the flu) really does change everything. Something like an ant bite will make me cry when I'm sick like that. Actually, when I did have the flu this year, I woke up really sick on a Friday. I was supposed to go to a ballroom dance class - and I love dance. I was so angry and upset about being sick that I cried. That, in turn, made me feel worse (I ended up vomiting - haha..) which made me cry harder. Crazy.
For most girls, being on their period or PMSing really messes with their minds. Because their hormones change SO much during those two weeks, it's like Jekle / Hide. Thankfully, I don't suffer PMS badly (or... lucky for my family and friends!), but I'm more emotional during the "week of." That's normal, though.
I honestly can't explain it any better than what I've tried to do. Sorry if this was a useless waste of time and energy.
