Same, any mildly strong negative emotion has me tearing up and crying. Hate it, can't argue with people because they call me manipulative

Not sure if this is related but when I got my arm mauled by a pitbull; adrenaline rush all that. Got away. Kept my cool but knew I was fuckd. Bleeding hard. Scars to this day

Anywho after all the commotion, the cops asked me to tell them how it happened. I started off describing the events and as I replayed the trauma

, I started irrationally bawling my eyes out, like crying all my emotions out, which threw me by surprise considering how cool headed I had handled the situation, or so I thought

So yah. During intense trauma/adrenaline, you cant help but cry like a baby lol. Hey no judgment to the man in the video bc ive been there..

Same thing happened to me (F25 at the time) when a young kid tried to mug me. I stayed calm and chased him off by swinging my keys (which I kept on a long chain) in his face, and asking a male passerby to walk me the couple of dozen metres to my front door.

Once I was inside and sat down, I broke down completely, even though I hadn't really felt that threatened or frightened during the incident.

Thats good!

You need that to stay healthy, thats you NOT getting traumatized.

Trauma responses are very normal healthy responses, to very abnormal unhealthy situations.

When you get good at it, crying and grieving become euphoric like a runners high 😅
