I’ve had this problem my whole life and I’ve met a few others with it too, but none of us know why. We all have no problem crying under certain circumstances (anxiety attacks for me), but sometimes when we’re about to cry at a certain stimulus, something clicks and the feeling just vanishes, even if we want to cry. Is it just a personality thing or is this a known phenomenon with a name or something?
Sorry, didn’t know where else to ask. Google just brought up reasons you can’t stop crying, the opposite problem.

In my case I sometimes feel like crying for whatever reason (feeling that nobody really cares about me, not wanting to be alive anymore, amongst others) but I can’t get to cry, not even a single tear come out of my eyes. All I do is sigh (I do if that’s the correct word, in Spanish is “suspirar”) but I really can’t cry no matter how sad I am.
I know this is because I’m taking Fluoxetina, an antidepressant, so whenever I really really want to cry and take it all out I just stop taking the medication. After a couple of days I can cry and then I start taking the medication as usual. It’s not okay, but that’s what I came up to.
