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.

I don’t have the answer but I take sertraline, an antidepressant, which has this effect. Before I would cry, not because I was sad. Just a wave of sadness. Maybe it’s something to do with seratonin?
