What exactly is the reason I tear up watching cute/ funny videos?

220 views

I’m a 40+ year old man. I can stub my toe and not cry, I can stand on Lego and push the pain aside and bang by funny bone and remain tear free.

But, if I watch a short video that has cute kids or acts of human kindness or hell, even kids movies I start to tear up.

My wife never does. What exactly is happening and why do I start to tear up when watching these sorts of videos?

One way it can happen is by engaging you to the point where you forget to breathe. Next time you’re about to watch one such video, remind yourself in advance to breathe normally and see if it hits you the same.
