It is believed that when people cry from pain or other adverse situations, tears help reduce suffering or ease pain.
But what about tears of joy? Scientists have found something to say here too. Science believes that tears are good in any case, because they are catharsis.
Let's talk about what scientists think about tears of happiness.
Studies have shown that tears act as painkillers, as crying releases hormones such as endorphins and enkephalins. The latter is what relieves pain.
And Cornell University researchers have discovered 4 types of tears of joy.
Tears of affection
Hugs encourage sensitive people to remember happy moments they have shared with loved ones or people dear to their hearts.
In this case, they cry equally willingly when hugging children or watching a kitten play.
Tears of Victory
It doesn’t matter whether it’s joy for a sports team or the achievements of loved ones – what makes you cry is overcoming a difficult period.
Inspiration and beauty
Some people can't hold back abusive language when they see a sunset or sunrise on a river (for example). Others (also very sensitive people) can have tears flowing like a stream at that moment.
Tears of laughter
