Did you cry when you were too happy?

Usually we will cry when we are feeling sad. However, sometimes we will also cry since we are too happy. Have you experienced it? What is it? I tried once. It's in the delivery room and when I heard my baby's first cry, I couldn't help but shedding tears. It was a very touching happy moment that I would never forget.

Heh, funny that you ask this question. My grandfather is on his deathbed and so the whole family was gathered together and we started telling stories of better times. It is the first time in so long that I laughed so hard that I cried and I wish he was there to be a part of it instead of sleeping in his bed. Thanks Zelo

Yes, I got another call today and he is worse. He refuses to give up and I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. When I left he was sleeping peacefully so hopefully he won't struggle too much or have too much pain. Thanks Zelo

Oh no, Why should i cry if am happy? on the other hand, i will cry when i am sad. I think after crying when got depressed, we will feel much better. I do not know what should be the reason for crying when i am happy. Maybe someday when i cry when i am happy, i will tell you why.

Crying doesn't mean that you are just sad. Yes there are times that I also cry when I am very happy and overwhelming with joy. Sometimes, I also cry when I am very angry and can't control my emotions. I have not cry for a long while now.

My tears will automatically flow when I am overwhelmed by happiness, not only for myself but on seeing others success and happiness like receiving an award on any success. I shed a lot of tears of joy when I watched the presentation of awards during the last olympic games when I watched the tv.

I am not an emotional person and hence, I do not show off emotions, be it at a time of being happy or sad.I have never cried out of happiness. And, if I recall correctly, I have never cried anyway, be it in any situation.I think it is for the weak people.

Perhaps you are a man and therefore you won't be emotional as well as women

Hi Youless, Good topic. Yes, most of the time when we cry, we cried because we are sad, angry, or upset. If i ever cried because of happy, i don't think so, i wish there is a monent to come. Maybe when my boyfriend propose me. Lol

Ya there have been very rare occasions-- But, normally I get tears of rage in my eyes when I GET VERY ANGRY. Of course tears with sadness is the expected thing.

I cry when I'm depressed! I cry at sad movies. I sometimes laugh so hard I cry! I cry when I'm so angry it is the only good way for me to release it! I'll even cry when my favorite team wins a game! I don't do it alot but it happens! So you can see I cry when I'm happy and sad!
