What is the phisiological response behind people crying when crowds cheer and clap?
I don’t consider myself an overly emotional person. Yet, any time I hear a crowd clapping or cheering, my body has an immediate and involuntary reaction to start crying/hyperventilate a bit but in a happy way?
Yesterday there was a race in my town and I hear someone ring a cowbell and was on the verge of tears. Why?? Rationally, I have no sentimental attachment towards the race, sport, people doing it. Is it just sensory overload? Is it a quick boost of serotonin or adrenaline?
