Just happens when I get emotional now. It used to be a precursor to tears but I have a really hard time crying so now I just get these achy stabs instead. What are they?
In: Biology
Your emotional state has an external effect on your physiology (ie feeling nauseated when you’re anxious, warm in the experience of love, the entire act of crying etc). Your mind also likes to create shortcuts (do you think about every single letter when you read or do you chunk it into words and phrases?). Crying is very hard on your core muscles and diaphragm which leads to that area being sore, so it’s possible your mind made the shortcut from sad -> cry -> sore just to sad -> sore
There was a pic that went viral not too long ago showing emotional states with MRI that showed circulation change associated with it. Iirc sorrow pulled circulation from the extremities to the trunk, so do with that information what you will
