And some of them, on one side of the chart, it's negative reasons, and on the other side, there's positive reasons, but there's this beautiful kind of like mirrors to them that these things are that are just two sides of the same coin.
So on one, loss or grief obviously could elicit tears, but so could the birth.
of a child.
On one side, separation or a breakup could elicit tears.
On the other side, a wedding or a reunion could.
Conflict or harmony, loneliness or union, like these just big emotions on either side of the scale can sometimes be enough to tip us over into crying, whether it's for sorrow or for joy.
Yeah, we'll come back to it because I do want to talk about that.
I want to talk about who's crying and how frequently, because this is something that's very it varies a lot between people.
So the ABC a couple of years ago did the Australia Talk survey.
There was a big survey of Australians and then you could kind of do a quiz to see how similar you were to this reference group.
And one of the things that they that they looked at was how frequently Australians cried.
And Norman, I'm probably on the far end of the female spectrum, but you're probably quite unusual among men, at least according to this survey data.
But if you add up all of the men who say they either never cry or cry less than once a year, i.e., never, that's half of men.
Yeah, yeah.
Or
And um we're not exactly comparing apples with apples, but a third of women say they cry at least once a month, fourteen percent say weekly, and three percent daily.
So very frequent.
Well, even researching it is really hard.
So you talked about the research where people cry and then they're sort of basically interviewed straight afterwards and then an hour and a half later and they feel worse and then they feel better.
But I'm not sure how I would feel having my cry in a lab with people observing me and quizzing me about it afterwards.
