The Biological Effect of a Woman's Tears

Should we only cry in nature?

This is a post for professional and amateur communicators. Marke-tears. Storytellers. Psychologists. Biologists. Neuroscientists. Aren’t we ALL communicators all day and every day? With words and with body language?

What narrative do we choose? For ourselves, our interactions, and our doing? Our mind is full of bias. The shortcuts in our brain.

We’ve got
Mindbugs

Our eyes play tricks on us.

Our minds fill in the gaps of what we think we see.

But is that actually what’s there?

- The Science of Bias

When you buy a yellow car, you’ll see yellow cars everywhere. Your mind wants to keep you calm in planetary chaos.

It’s biology, brain, mind, microbes, and nervous system.

That’s why it’s good to step out of your comfort zone where your body doesn’t like life so much and where you feel shy, judged, and “strange”. Find a safe space and gradually go into brave space. 

Your task in life is to grow.

Maybe that’s our most important task if we want life to be flowy and lean into our intuition for path choices.

This summer, at Born Global summer school, neuroscientist Moran Cerf told us that a woman’s sad tears emit a chemical (just like everything emits and reacts) that lowers the testosterone in men by nearly 50%. A biochemistry reality to make bonds stronger.

I always wander and wonder in my life.

So I wonder, what’s gone wrong in our overly sensitive, urban, disconnected world? Are the incels in South Korea “proof” that men feel “unmanned” by crying women? By feminism? By strong women? By women being whatever way?

But what is closer by? How do YOU interact with your colleagues, family, friends? Open book? Closed lid? Passive aggressive? Spontaneous? How do people react to you? Do you ever notice?
