HELLO & WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MOMENT OF SILENCE — also known as the bravest space for crying, venting, healing and pretending we’re fine. This week, we’re deep-diving into every kind of tear: the math-exam tears, the restaurant-khichdi tears, the “my relatives didn’t order noodles” tears, and the elite-level bathroom-floor crying that honestly should count as cardio.

We’re unpacking why women cry more, how anger shapeshifts as we grow up, and the unhinged triggers that send us into emotional spirals. There’s dad affection (twice a year, respectfully), celebrity crush posters, Ariana Grande memes, scary dreams, anxious-girlie hyper vigilance, and arguments where crying becomes the main character.

We’re also rating the saddest places to cry, decoding crying during fights with boyfriends, and figuring out whether we’re team yell-it-out or team cry-into-a-pillow.Grab your tissues, your inner child, and whatever is left of your dignity — because this episode is peak emotional Olympics.

Tell us in the comments: What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever cried over?
