Possible associations
Crying can express relief or intense joy as well as sadness. Who stays with you and how you feel afterwards matter alongside its cause.
The cause may remain unclear; describe the feeling instead of inventing an explanation. Someone comforting you differs from trying to stop your tears. Speaking afterwards or wanting solitude also matters. The aim is not to resolve emotion immediately but to consider what kind of room supports it.
