RD: Crying is normal! It can be cathartic, calming, healing. If that's your reaction, I'd say there isn't much you can do about it. As someone who also likes to burst into tears at the drop of a hat, I'd say it's futile to try and change how you emotionally react to situations.

Why does an act of kindness make me cry?

You cry because an act of kindness or an act of bravery resonates with your 'humanness'. An act of bravery is committed often to protect someone from the danger, often putting the life of the doer in danger. By this act, a person shows that he cares for the humanity.

Why do I cry when I feel loved?

Our tears release neurotransmitters known as leucine enkephalin, which can act as a natural painkiller. When people cry because they're sad, this makes them feel better. But when people cry because they're happy, that same neurotransmitter makes them feel that much happier. In other words, tears encourage catharsis.
