Women can relieve stress by crying more

To some people, tears are not simply an expression of emotion, but a means of wrestling.

There are two kinds of tears

"Anthropologists have found that crying is an innate instinct of human beings, as spontaneous as sighing and sneezing." Zhang Yuanxia, ​​a practicing psychologist in New York, said that William Fry, a psychologist at the University of Minnesota, once studied the behavior of crying from the perspective of physiological psychology.

Over a five-year period, he studied thousands of subjects who shed tears, and the results showed that in a month, men rarely shed tears more than seven times, while women shed tears more than 30 times. Based on the motivation for crying, he divided tears into reflex tears (such as being stimulated by onions) and emotional tears.

Emotional tears are what we usually call real crying. For example, we often see newlyweds crying at weddings, people shedding tears when they argue with others, and people sobbing uncontrollably at funerals. Zhang Yuanxia analyzed: "From a psychological perspective, real crying is based on the four basic human emotions - joy, anger, sadness, and fear. This is because people's emotions are stimulated by the outside world and act on their hearts. When these emotions accumulate to a certain level, they will inevitably present a natural expression of emotions."
