I've been collecting videos for years that make me shed tears. I don't easily shed tears if it feels a little too manufactured. Usually what works best for me is just seeing actual genuine unprompted emotion, though sad scenarios without any emotion can do it if the sentimentality is balanced well.

Tried maybe 5-6 videos on the site and none of them worked. :/ Just watched one of my old videos, boom, instant tears.

Don't know about the health implications of crying once a week or anything, but sometimes if I'm feeling a little out of touch with life, watching something sad does help.

I'm curious.

Can you share one of those videos?

(None of the videos on the site made me feel bad, even slightly.)

Maybe your approaching it from the wrong viewpoint.Crying doesn't have to be because you feel sad, it can come though feeling empathy, or even joy

		I cry every time I see the movie Coco. I've found that things that have to do with grand parents makes me cry the most. I've losed my grandfather on covid's because they stopped treating him to focus on younger people.

Sorry it didn't work for you! Everybody is different and I tried to include a variety of universally tear-inducing videos. But of course it won't work for everyone. I've found it works for about 90% of people.

What videos make you cry? Curious to see how they compare. Also, not all the videos on the site are sad. Some are happy tears.

		Here is one example: https://youtu.be/y02xPRX6vCE?t=1376 Basically anything absolutely genuine and authentic, especially where I have enough information to understand the context of their emotion so that I can relate better.
