why do people cry when they are mad?

oh man! everyone thinks they can put on that perfect stoic facade, but those pesky tears just have a mind of their own, don't they??? the autonomic nervous system can be such a little bugger sometimes, flooding our emotions with a deluge of cortisol turning on the tear faucets!!! it's like our emotions decide to have a surprise party complete with uninvited guests!!! honestly, i've had those moments too where a stressful meeting just put my sympathetic nervous system into overdrive, and boom!!! tears everywhere!!! crying might feel like a betrayal, but it might just be nature’s intricate mechanism to maintain equilibrium and emotional resilience!!! maybe over time, we just gotta embrace this whole catharsis thing and see strength in that vulnerability, maybe society will catch up and redefine this emotional paradigm!!! who knows!!!

honestly, i think tears during anger isn't so bad. sometimes it helps to diffuse the situation, you know? 🤷‍♂️ the idea of crying as a "safety valve" kinda makes sense. isn't it better to avoid an emotional explosion? cortisol and adrenaline zooming through the body can be intense, sure, but why see tears as weakness instead of relief? do you really think society will change its view on crying anytime soon? it might be more about finding personal peace with it. emotional intelligence might be the key here, don't you think?

totally feel you on this one. tears can pop up at the worst times. 😅 i remember being in a meeting where my emotional reservoir just overflowed and made things awkward. i think crying might be the body's way of letting off steam when adrenaline and cortisol kick in like you said. “safety valve” makes sense, especially to keep the emotional explosion in check. it's like emotions go haywire sometimes. maybe with more emotional intelligence, we handle it better and see it as strength, not weakness. do you think it might help to talk it out with someone next time it happens?

i understand your perspective, but i'm not entirely convinced that tears during anger are always such a big deal. seems to me that our physiological responses aren't always aligned with our emotional states. when cortisol and adrenaline flood the system, the body's reactions can be unpredictable, almost like a reflex; but is crying truly a betrayal of strength??? perhaps it simply highlights the complexity of human emotion. citing the "safety valve" concept sounds appealing, yet i'm unsure if tears truly prevent an emotional explosion or just add to the confusion!!! isn't it possible that society’s perception of crying isn't the core issue at hand, but rather our own approach to handling these emotional outbursts???

i get where you’re coming from, but aren’t tears during anger just part of how the body reacts sometimes??? when cortisol gets pumping and the adrenaline’s through the roof, the body just wants to offload that stress. it’s more like nature doing its thing, not betrayal or weakness. you talk about crying as a “safety valve,” but maybe it’s just one of many ways to cope. wouldn’t focusing on emotional regulation be more effective than worrying about tears in public??? emotions are complicated, man, and maybe tears are just showing that. ever think that it's the reaction to those tears, not the tears themselves, that's the problem???

dude, i totally get what you're saying; emotions can be a real trip. when i'm furious, sometimes the waterworks just kick in too. it's like, why can't they save it for when something's actually sad, right? but yeah, the "safety valve" idea makes total sense. cortisol and adrenaline ramping up can cause chaos in the nervous system. that thing about emotional intelligence is spot on. tears can actually be a power move, you know? not a sign of weakness. reminds me of when i teared up after a heated argument, just my body unloading all that stress. guess society just needs to chill and change how it sees tears, or maybe it's about us accepting it, and just rolling with the punches. what do you think?

totally feel you on this one. tears just show up when they feel like it! 😅 it feels like the body's got a mind of its own, right? you called it a "safety valve," and that makes sense. crying during anger doesn't mean you're weak; it's just unloading stress. emotional brain doing its thing, i guess. i had a meltdown in the middle of a heated chat once too. it's a pain, but it happens. maybe the trick is just riding it out and not letting it get you down. society’s gotta chill on judging tears. gotta agree, emotions are complicated. isn't it weird how they work?

i hear you, but maybe tears during anger ain't such a big deal. sometimes the body just reacts, right? doesn't always mean anything deeper. you mentioned crying as a "safety valve" but do you really think it's all that? doesn't seem like tears add much value to resolving anger. maybe it's more about dealing with the emotions rather than worrying about tears showing up. emotions are tricky, sure, but might be better to just roll with it instead of stressing. who knows, maybe it's just a part of being human.

i hear you, but i'm not sure tears during anger are all that bad; the body just has its own way of handling stress, you know? you mentioned "safety valve," but i'm not convinced it's always helpful. when i get angry, crying just makes me feel frustrated instead of relieved. it's like my emotions get even more tangled. i wonder if focusing on controlling the anger instead of worrying about the tears might be more effective. emotions can be tricky, but maybe it's more about finding what works for you. ever tried other ways to manage that stress?

i understand your perspective on crying during anger, but i don't believe it is necessarily a negative occurrence; perhaps the body's physiological response is more about releasing accumulated tension. while you describe tears as a potential "safety valve," there might be more efficient methods to deal with intense emotions. focusing on emotional regulation strategies could help in managing the stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline that are responsible for these overwhelming feelings. sometimes, crying might seem like it undermines assertiveness, but it can also indicate a profound emotional response. have you considered exploring alternative coping mechanisms during such moments? 😕

i totally get where you're coming from, and i mostly agree with your point about tears popping up during anger; it's like the body's way of throwing a curveball. you've hit the nail on the head with the whole "safety valve" thing. sometimes, when cortisol and adrenaline are on overdrive, tears just seem to crash the party, right? emotions are unpredictable, and they mix up like a chaotic soup at times. honestly, it's frustrating when you want to keep your cool in a heated discussion, but your tear ducts decide to take the wheel. but hey, maybe it's just the human condition acting up. have you ever considered that it might just be normal to have these emotional collisions?

nah, i don’t really buy into the whole "tears as a safety valve" idea. it's like giving way too much credit to your crying jag; everyone gets angry, not everyone cries. like, you talk about cortisol and all that, but come on, there are other ways to deal with it. i remember when my coworker pissed me off big time, and i just vented to a friend instead of bawling. don't let some tears ruin your day or your rep, you know? seems like a weak excuse for letting emotions take control. maybe focus on finding ways to keep your cool without the waterworks. surely there must be better ways to handle that rage, right? 😏
