I admit it.
I teared up during 
ENDGAME.
We cry during emotional movies
 because of oxytocin, 
which makes us feel more connected with the 
characters 
while increasing levels of empathy, altruism and even 
fulfillment. 
Are we weak if we cry 
during a movie? 
Empathy makes us better, 
stronger human beings.
 Crying at a movie 
is also a great way 
to untangle some 
of your own emotions 
through the characters 
onscreen. 
And since it's only a movie, 
you don't have to deal 
with any lasting effects. 
You have a nice cry, 
you feel better, 
and credits roll!
 The empathetic souls
 have their hearts broken 
frequently by movies 
and 
books or people.
 They tend to heal 
and rebound faster,
  making them 
stronger people 
in the longer run. 
DO YOU TEAR UP
AT MOVIES?

WHEN WAS THE

Tearing Up

If You Do
Not Want to
Be Spoiled.

While I have empathy for human beings, animals are what makes me cry in the movies.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. I will not see a dog movie because of that!
