Why Tears Spread: Stigma, Culture, and Emotional Responses

Do you find yourself tearing up when someone else is crying, even if you don’t know why? We delve into why tears can make people uneasy, the cultural stigma surrounding crying, and how reactions differ between men and women. Plus, we discuss those who seldom cry and how tears became a sign of weakness, and something you should grow out of.
