Tearfulness occurs when one feels oversensitive or overwhelmed, and unable to cope with a situation. This often occurs as a result of stress, fatigue, emotionally shock, grief and depression and chronic illnesses which cause discomfort and pain. Tearful individuals may cry as a result of sad and happy situations and they are typically emotionally fragile. The cause of a person's tearfulness should be addressed with care and understanding.
