There are multiple forms of crying. It's emotional release. It can be a burst into tears, it can be ugly sobbing, it can be a single tear running down your cheek and each and every one of these ways is normal and legitimate.

Forgot to mention, the reasoning can be whatever, too. As I said, emotional release. Could be joy, anger, fear, frustration, empathy. Some people force themselves to contain it, others don't or can't. Some will not feel the urge at all. All valid. I've shed a few happy tears myself in my time, feels really good, actually.

I've cried tears of joy for getting a statistically significant result in a months long experiment. If I was in conversation conservation, I too would be sobbing out of relief that the intervention worked.

It’s ironic as this dude getting shutdown so hard for questioning feelings isn’t going to help him in anyway understand and if anything might just make him less likely to question/try and understand in the future.

It is a good thing. Sometimes extreme emotion can make people cry, even if it's a good feeling.
