Why does cuteness make me cry?

[Anonymous]

This is a silly question that's proably been asked a hundred times, but I'm hungry for input.

Cute things make me cry!

Cute animal videos, babies and toddlers playing, adorable elderly folks. They make me so misty eyed and I don't understand it. Sometimes, I get genuinely sad as well. I'll never get why, but endearing things inspire this odd feeling of happiness and sadness.

I'll be minding my own business when something adorable pops into my head and all of a sudden I'll become misty-eyed. It's so weird. Hell, even thinking about something kinda cute my friends or family might have said or done is enough.

Does this happen to anybody else? Am I the only one that does this?

This happens to me with animals >.< You're not alone, when I see a a cat/kitten I get misty eyed :P It's innately engraved into us to feel like that to force us to take care/look after them. :)

I think you are a very sensitive and a soft hearted person.

I think even a cute teddy bear will make you cry because you would admire the cuteness of it. It is okay to be soft hearted and sensitive as a person.
