girls, whenever we get hurt, why do we tend to cry?

Well, scientists have discovered that the emotional tears contain higher levels of manganese and the hormone prolactin, and this contributes in a reduction of both of these in the body; thus helping to keep depression away. Many people found that crying actually calms them after being upset, and this is in part duel to the chemicals and hormones that care released in the tears.

I believe it is just in the sensitive make up of women that give us the tendency to cry when we get hurt or upset. I know I have to try very, very hard not to as I am an extremely sensitive and emotional person. Too much so sometimes for my own good.

Crying is a natural emotion. I know I cry when I feel frustrated, or overwhelmed. I guess I am a bit of a sap too, sad stories make me cry and when I see others cry I feel like crying too. I try to hold it in when possible.

Women are more emotional than men so we tend to cry when we get hurt, it is a response to feelings that we cant control or avoid. i think it is good at times because when i cry about something that hurt me, i tend to feel better afterwards.

i don't know why too, maybe it is the best way to show our feeling. when the tears are rolling down on our face we can't control, although said tears couldn't solve the problem.but after we cried, we feel better than before, don't we??

I am not sure. i think its just a way of letting things out. I also tend to cry if i get mad. its strange but if i get into a fight with someone and i know i am right in what i have to say i may end up crying because i just have to let some feelings out. I have been told that i cry to easy. i have been hurt a lot in my life but i still cry every time like it is the first time something bad has ever happened to me
