Why You Cry When You're Happy

You're at a wedding, watching two people you love promise forever to each other, and a lump rises in your throat. You aren't sad. You've never been happier. So why does your body insist on making you look like you are? In this video, you'll discover the real reason joy and grief can produce the exact same tears, starting with the Yale research on what psychologists call dimorphous expressions. You'll learn why crying happens almost entirely in social situations, what's actually inside an emotional tear compared to a regular one, and why this "broken" signal may have been one of the most useful tools your ancestors ever had. By the end, you'll never feel embarrassed about happy tears again.
