Despite the same act of "shedding tears", the cause of "crying" is pain, laughter, sorrow, loneliness and so on. Mr. Robin of a blogger who admits that it is a "crybaby" continues to record the cause of the act of "crying" over the 589 days, the date, the place, the place, the intensity level of 5 grades evaluation, and publishes an interesting graph that summarizes this It is.

In order to record the details of the act of "crying", Robin first decides the definition of the act of "crying" "until we regain calm after starting tearing." And I made it to evaluate the scale of "crying" in 1 to 5 stages.

Robin prepared five-step evaluation as follows.

(1) A state in which one or two tears flow
(2) Tears flow but conditions are not too much
(3) Condition in which make-up collapses but body does not change
(4) Condition where respiration is disturbed and it is impossible to feel uncomfortable
(5) I cried so hard that my body was twisted

In addition, since this time's record emphasizes "knowing the movements of their own emotions", it does not include tears due to allergies suffering tears and laughter tears, but tears shed by abdominal pain coming from a cold are included I will.

And, when we cried under the above conditions, the date · time · place · the situation leading to tears · The 5 grades were recorded with the following feeling.


The recording period is 589 days from February 20, 2014 to October 1, 2015. Graphing the number of times you cried per day during the period gives you the following feeling. The day when I cried even once even in 589 days was 216 days, the total total of the times I cried was 394 times. In other words, it came about crying on the 3rd day and crying about 2 times a day on the day we cried.


Also, when you graphed the number of times you cried per day, it looks like this. The day that does not cry at all is the most, next day crying continues only once a day, and the number of days to cry increases as the number of times to cry increases, but the graph of the day cried 14 times a day is exciting A point to worry about having.


The longest period during which I did not cry at all was consecutive 23 days. For the longest period of continuous crying, it is 8 days. When graphing the time from the beginning of crying to the end of crying, it seems that there was a lot of "crying" as short as 1 to 2 minutes with the following feeling. The average crying time was 5 minutes and 50 seconds.


When totaling the time cried during the period, it is about 38 hours, that it was crying for 2 hours in a month. Also, when you mapped which time of the week you were crying, you can see that you were crying often at the beginning of the week. In addition, we are doing therapy every Tuesday, it seems that there were many tears shed more than this.


Analyzing the situation at the time of crying, 52.5% of the total was "when I was alone", 21% of whom I cried when I was with someone. The situation that I tried to hide the fact that people cried and cried was 8% of the whole, and the percentage I cried when I was alone in a public place was 18.5%.

54% of the places we cried are at home. Examples of crying places other than at home include hotels, public transportation, workplaces, therapy places, etc.


The five-step evaluation of crying behavior is graphed according to the number of occurrences as follows. The most common was the evaluation "2", which accounted for 62% of the whole with only "1" and "2". "3" is 25% of the whole, "4" "5" where breathing is disturbed or no voice can be heard, "5" is less than 1 to 3, 4 is 40 times or more, 5 is about 10 times It was not an insufficient quantity.


Categorizing and visualizing the causes of the act of crying found out the following things.


The most common reasons for crying are events belonging to the category "Farewell" and "Human Relationship" category, accounting for 63% of the total. Tears caused by long-term relationships and tears caused by a bit of dating are included in various causes, but tears caused by lovers being married occupied 40% of the total about.

Also, "friendship" is also frequent as the cause of tears, but this is the reason why conversations about fighting, wedding ceremonies, life, etc.

"Family" is slightly less than 13% of the causes of tears, only 2% cried at "work". Two-thirds of the tears in the work category are related to personal projects, and it seems that there were few tears caused by the main job.

The category of "life" indicates the cause of determining something, causing sickness, traveling, was a day it was not attached. Robin says that many were tears shed during the trip of 10 weeks in Europe and were stressful days.

What accounts for 8.5% of the total is "introspection". This is the reason why it is embarrassing, harsh, and self-pitying, reminiscent of your past actions. Because I sometimes criticized himself by reflection and sometimes wondered my identity, the tears born by this cause seemed to be uncomfortable for Ms. Robin.

It is like this when splitting into the categories "Farewell", "Human Relationship", "Life", "Family", "Reflection", "Friends" and "Work", the number of times we cried during the recording period is visualized. The fact that the graph of "Life" category is exciting during summer traveling, that duplications of "Human Relations" "Farewell" graph are overlapping, "Reflective" graphs are excited around the "Farewell" graph settling It is understood that it is.


When classifying tears by 40 types of emotions, the most common thing is sadness, pain, anger, etc., and the tears caused by hurting pain and pride are the fewest. Mr. Robin analyzes that many of the causes are negative, and it is the reason for "intense crying" that brings out intense emotions and excitement. Also, it became clear that there was a tendency for the level of 5 grades to be higher for clear reasons such as "beaten" than in a vague state of "tired".


Mr. Robin said that "I am not a big deal to cry in public" in this attempt. Also, although there is a concern that it makes people uncomfortable, it seems that it is a good influence obtained through "Record of crying" that I came to think that expressing emotions is not weakness or shame I am talking. I cited it as a good point to be aware of the fact that I am depressed.

Furthermore, by recording the act of crying for a long time, it seems that I was able to adapt to difficult situations and change the situation. For example, initially we began crying because of planning with family members at the beginning of the recording, but gradually became more aggressive with the plan, and changed the forecast when it can not be aggressive Robin says he noticed what he is learning.

Meanwhile, "The fact that it began to be driven by the impulse to check the time of beginning to cry and end of crying like a dog of Pavlov" and "The purpose of" taking a record "is in the head, I was able to distinguish between emotions and consciousness "as a negative side.
