Brendan O'Connor · “Crying shows us what really matters to us” - The Power of Crying with Dr Tony Bates · 12 Jul 2026 podcast

I find it very upsetting, more upsetting sometimes and more surprising, more surprising if a man cries.

I still, even having been with hundreds and thousands of people who cried, it's always something of a surprise and something of a delight when they do.

I'm not afraid of it, but it just, it comes as a surprise.

So people who... You know there's people who probably say, oh, I never cry.

Yeah, yeah.

Do you worry about that?

Very much.

Yeah.

Because I... You know, because you only... That only works if you're kind of shut down a bit.

I do know somebody who doesn't cry a lot and has a real heart and feel.

So I don't want to say bad things about people who don't cry.

You know, I don't want to do that.

But generally speaking, it's like people say, I don't get angry.

I think...

I think strong emotions, fear, sadness, anger, these are really part of how we are meant to adapt and live in the world.

I mean, they're there to help us.

Emotions move us.

They move us.

They mobilize us.
