Question #4185: I want cry, but I can't.

[Ask Satya Operator]

Hello.
Lately, I have been carried away by sad stories and cartoons in which my favorite characters die... At such moments, I feel like tears are squeezing my throat and chest, but to specifically CRY, so that tears flow from my eyes... I can’t. Although I feel like I want to... Why is this and what should I do to get rid of it?
Thank you.

I think Maybe on one side it saddens you and you want to cry and you try to provoke this from yourself, but unconsciously you understand that this is not real and it is just cartoon, and this is why natural tears is not coming out?

In real life tears are real because it is real reasons to cry, in cartoons is there is no real reasons so real tears not coming out.

This is just Idea but I feel this can be true.
