Why this happened with me??

I want to ask a genuine question... Why these animes are making me cry everytime i watch? I'm 19M but I cried when I watched AOT ( Several Scenes Specifically The Mother Scene ) I cried watching Tokyo Revengers ( Hinata Several Scenez ) I cried watching Demon Slayer ( Several Scene Can't Count )... List goes very long.. but genuinely whyyy I can't control.. I'm not a cry baby I'm so popular in my circle even i was kind of bad boy during my college and school days..

Never knew the reason but tbh seem like Animes itself build connections to your emotions.

We aren't your therapist.

Wow, way to try to shame someone w/o provocation. What, did you come to reddit for people to \*not\* talk about their lives and experiences? You sound like a caveman.

timpkmn892025-12-29 22:45

Where does the caveman part come in?

No_Cockroach24672025-12-29 20:50

That's called being human.

Koritorii2025-12-29 20:50

Yep

Because you have feelings and those moments resonated with you, and in many cultures men aren't allowed to show those kinds of feelings, that is usually why this comes as a shock to some folks when it first happens.

P-Two2025-12-29 20:51

Perhaps you're ever so slowly becoming an.....adult with....emotions? I know crazy right? There's plenty of media that I would barely bat an eye at in my teens that I can't watch without welling up in my late 20s.

Able_Statistician3212025-12-29 20:52

I think it's because you are less guarded watching things alone vs a group or just in normal daily life around people

gud_fellow2025-12-29 20:56

Because that's what makes you a human, duh! Watch 'I Want To Eat Your Pancreas'. It's a movie. It made a cold person like me cry so hard.

AppleDemolisher562025-12-29 21:01

Because you arent a robot i would asume

Orzislaw2025-12-29 21:06

That's a correct reaction. All these shows are written to contain highly emotional moments and tears are proof they resonated with you the way creators intended.

If you think men shouldn't cry from emotions watch JoJo's and see total chads crying like crazy ;)

7GrenciaMars2025-12-29 21:16

You're developing more empathy as you age, which is why parts of stories are resonating with you more strongly than before. This is a good thing. Don't forget that crying in an expression of a variety of emotions, not just fear or sorrow. I won't give the list of the things that will illicit tear from me (sometimes just a few, granted) because it's a lot.

Think of how a rice cooker/steamer has a vent so pressure can be released. That's what tears are--pressure valve for strong emotions. The "strongest" steamer still has one, and it's not malfunctioning when steam comes out.

And more empathy is good. It will help you understand other people's feelings better, which generally leads to getting along with them better.

Why do you think crying over emotional things is bad?

life-hard-im-harder2025-12-29 21:31

Lots of people in these comments are being weird. The reason is because anime is disconnected from reality. In the real world theres so much pressure on people to not show their emotions, men especially, that when you watch and anime the feelings you feel from the anime are heightened. It's normal and happens to lots of us, its a good way to let those emotions out when they're bottled up.

AnfowleaAnima2025-12-29 21:36

lol what does being a bad boy even mean, and how is related being popular with no crying with series?

you may be a bit sensitive but it's not bad it's just you.

Few_Highlight11142025-12-29 22:59

Sounds like youre a cry baby

CarbonScythe02025-12-29 23:14

What it comes down to is that media (of any type) is meant to make you *feel things*. If it doesn't engage with you on an emotional level then that piece of media is not for you.

It took me several years to figure it out (34y/o) but this question is very similar to "Why does food make me feel full?", because that's the purpose of food!

I have three pieces of media that has made me burst into tears, most other things get stuck in my throat but every once in a while, there is that one thing that will fucking break you, and you are happy that it did.

For me it was:

* A Silent Voice (manga, I don't want to watch the anime until I have a special someone to watch it with)
* Violet Evergarden (Anime, I had to cut the binging into two days because I cried almost every other episode)
* The House in Fata Morgana (Visual Novel, caught on camera too because I make YT videos)

A Silent Voice and Violet Evergarden definitely had some of the most tearjerking moments in anime for me. Others include Clannd After Story and Fruits Basket.

Prophage72025-12-30 01:06

Don't take that for granted. I used to force myself to not feel sad from shows because I was a "man and men don't cry". When I just let go and allowed myself to feel sad, it was like a whole new world opened, like as though my emotions were colourless but now they're vibrant.

Now I purposely seek out sad shows because that cathartic feeling of sadness is hard to beat, here's some real tearjerkers to keep it going: Look Back, Your Lie in April, and I Want to Eat Your Pancreas.

BusyHoney97672025-12-30 06:49

Anime are often really emotional so its normal to cry during some scenes. I cried during sad moments in series like Fruits Basket and Clannand even though I watched them as a teenage boy. Its ok to for men to cry after all we're human too.
