Stories likeΒ Hachi: AΒ Dogβs Tale, orΒ The Notebook, have caused many toΒ grab the tissue box atΒ least once. However, aΒ lot ofΒ people believe that crying during movies isΒ nothing but aΒ sign ofΒ weakness. Well, guess what, that thought couldnβt beΒ more wrong! Paul J. Zak, aΒ neuroeconomistΒ atΒ Claremont Graduate University, conducted aΒ study inΒ which heΒ affirms that those who cry during movies are more empathetic, they know how toΒ handle their emotions better, and they are stronger when facing daily challenges.
We at Bright Side love stories that inspire empathy and compassion, so we would like to explain to you what really happens when a person cries during a movie, and why it makes them stronger.
1. They realize that these stories are fictional, but they canβt keep their feelings inside.
Zak says that, cognitively speaking, although they know that the movie is not real and the story they see on the screen is fictional, itβs still inevitable that they will cry when they see a very emotional scene.
2. Oxytocin is the one to blame.
This hormone acts as a neurotransmitter and itβs responsible for what we feel when we witness a touching scene. We connect a story, to a feeling, and, later, to a positive action. That is, this hormone makes us more empathetic and makes us have a much more receptive attitude toward the world, in addition to making us feel happier.
3. These people are not afraid to express their emotions.
People who are not embarrassed to cry during movies are, in fact, more mentally tough than those who try to hide their tears. That is because they are brave enough to express their true feelings. They are not afraid of being judged or criticized. This, according to Zak himself, is also an effect of oxytocin, since, by empathizing with those around them, human beings are not afraid to stand up for what they think is right.
4. The power of tears
The findings made by Zak also show that those who cry at movies know about the healing power of tears. Crying makes us connect with other people, we learn to see that there are circumstances that can positively and negatively affect our environment, and that we are susceptible to it.
5. They donβt run away from emotions.
The people who cry during movies also assume that itβs important to maintain a certain perspective on what happens to us, and that sometimes itβs necessary to take a moment to cry. This allows them to achieve greater emotional stability than those who hide their feelings.
6. They donβt care about gender roles or expectations.
Weβve all heard the saying: βBig boys donβt cry.β Most boys learn from an early age that crying in public will make them look weak. However, this is nothing but a nonsense limitation. Boys and girls, when theyβre young, donβt differ at how much they cry. Itβs a human response that is not related to any particular gender, and that is known to those who are not afraid to do it openly. They donβt fear being judged by those who believe that crying is a female trait.
7. They experience life fully.
Oxytocin is related to trustworthiness between people. Those who have more trust in others, have high levels of this neurotransmitter in their body, and often forge deeper relationships. They recognize the value of appreciating those around them. They also live more fully than those who have trust issues and feel distressed by the relationships they establish with others.
