Why do some men cry and show emotion?
user
Some men cry and show emotion for a variety of reasons. Some may do so in moments of great joy or sorrow, while others may cry in response to more powerful emotions such as grief, anger, or passion. Some men are hesitant to display emotion due to societal expectations and perceived gender roles. Crying and showing emotion can be an expression of courage in the face of stressful situations, such as experiencing a trauma or grieving the loss of a loved one.  It is also natural for people to cry out of affection for another person, whether that be through feeling appreciated or being overwhelmed by love. Men should not feel ashamed if they are caught up expressing themselves this way; ultimately it is a matter of personal authenticity and allowing oneself to freely explore emotional territories without judgemental thoughts.

Men are socially encouraged to be strong and show less emotion, however some may feel overwhelmed by strong emotions such as grief or happiness and may cry in order to process those feelings. Crying can also be a way of bonding with others, since the act of crying has been seen as a shared experience that creates connectedness between people. In addition, there is scientific research which shows that crying releases endorphins, hormones in our bodies which produce positive feeling and improve mood. Therefore it can be beneficial to release these pent up emotions as well as connecting on an emotional level with others through crying.
