why do we cry

i want to know why ppl cry?
what is tears and why we have it?

We cry cause we get sad?

Eh, I dunno? Lol

then what is crying? why it makes us feel better when we are sad?

you cry because your body needs to release built up emotion or pain (physical or emotional) and you feel better after a cry because the weight has been lightened...but it hasn't been removed you still have to fix the problems, just after a good cry you can focus better on getting to a solution.

i like this answer,
i been always wondering

Umm...

Because tears wash out the eye, right. And the eyes are the window to your soul. You want people to understand you, to help your soul, or just to see it, so you wash the windows...

Oh, I'm not sure. Your body probably releases some chemical when you are highly emotional, which makes the tear ducts overreacts, and whalla! tears.

nice answer, i think you explained so well.

I cry because I feel like crying sometimes.

I cry cause sometimes it is the only thing I can do to release all the pent up emotions inside me.

Tears explain how a person is feeling without the use of words, especially if you don't know how to explain how you feel.

I try not to cry, i cry because im mad sad or happy, IM A BABY :D

i hate crying because i feel like i have lost all control over life. I hate not being in control of what i feel, and crying makes me feel like i am weak.

dwelt, I hope you realise that to follow the link as a c&p took 5 goes. And frankly wasn't worth the wait.

Is there no way to embed links on this forum?

i wish i knew why I cried.. i always cry at the most irritating times! I'll be furious with some one, screaming at them; all i want to do is stay tough because im so angry.. yet i begin to cry and it always ruins my arguments!

wow dwelt, it was a nice poem and i think you explained everything in it, great job.......

You cry because you have learnt to cry as a child when situations present themselves and you do'nt like them or can't handle/expess them.

I didn't cry until I was 24, because i'd never learned to, except as a baby...but i had that forced out of me.

Everything is learning.

And learning is everything. :-)

People cry to express something deep inside they can't put into words. They cry to express the way they feel about certain subjects.

i think that people need to cry because all of the stress build-up from the past is a lot for us to handle. we need to let it out sometimes, and crying somehow helps that. everyone should have a good cry every once in a while. we all need it.

People usually cry to release all the emotions they have bottled up.

I've3 never thought about it before, but crying is kinda like poetry. It's a way to express out feelings. Like smiling, or yelling. We yell when angrey, smile when happy, and cry when sad

We Cry Because We Need To Let Out How We Feel Inside, Whether Its Sadness, Or Joy, We Cry Because Its a Form Of Release And It Makes Us Feel Better Because Whether We Talk It Out Or Cry It Out, It Gets The Job Done Either Way Because Its Getting Out xoxo-Nikki-xoxo

why i cry

I cry because of the feeling ,

I cry because of the pain,

crying is really inner healing,

tears streaming down like rain,

I cry because of what you say,

I cry because of what you do,

all my feelings being torn away,

how you act is so untrue,

I cry because I love you,

I cry because you dont,

how I wish that you knew,

how I know that you wont,

I cry because your worth something,

I cry because I wonder why,

your really worth nothing,

because if you were, I wouldnt cry.

i cry because there so much emotion bulding up insisde of me that can't be told in words
i cry because no matter how hard i try to make someone listen no one does listen
i cry because of rage(anger) that no one can live without someone else
i cry because human emotions(love,sadness ect.) that get to me make me so vanarable that i cant breathe, think, or sleep
i cry because sometimes i am so overwhelmed by the issues going on in the world and werever i look everyone is guidings us into the darkness
i cry because i feel alone and misplace
i also cry when i see that the people i care the people i know are chossing bad habits of life

tears are made naturally by the body to keep your eyes moist and are lightly coated over your eyes everytime you blink. but you cry a pressure is put on this and your eyes turn red and excess tears come from your eyes. pressure from a pain (bodily reaction to teach you that scraping your skin is bad, also can be an emotional cause) and your tears are signalled and voila, your crying. (helpful, maybe?, kinda scientifical type answer)

scientifical is definitely not a word

I think that we have to cry its nature.. if you dont cry your emotionless lol Anyways though sometimes you need to cry to get everything out and thats okay.. It may be something fucked that god created but its helps lol

Does it help anyone else?

When i cry it mean so many diffrent things. I think its just a sign of relief

Goran i cry because theres someone who puch me lolz jk i cry because tears are like heavy things in your eyes when you cry it feels like you an feather oh men dont really know why lols .. when my heart broke i cried lol not just cry but howl lolz crying is just showing a great feelings whether it is sad or happy a strong feelings of state of emotion that you cant express in words ... yeah thats it

people cry because its a way to express sadness that has built up inside, it relieves it. Tears are water that is created by the tear ducts. We have tears to help us clear our eyes if something has gotten inside of them

good answer Mr. blueknight,lol

which one the puches lolz

off course the puches,loooool

and I also cry when you guys don't look at my poems,loooool

ya well I used to be just like you but not any more for I learned that it is the the other way around to cry show u r strong and it is ok to cry it took me along time to learn that and not to cry shows u r week.

lols Goran i cried but then i puch him also hahaha then were fair lolz

i heard once that crying is ur bodies way of coping, as u concentrate on crying instead of the pain. i dno, thats what i heard. =P

Crying is stupid it only makes me feel worse....crying is like encouraging yourself to be even more sad...instead of trying to move on about stuff people decide to take the time out to cry that doesn't help at all because then you are focusing on being sad and what made you sad instead of trying to move on and think happy about it
