This is coming from somebody with zero medical background.
I can’t speak for why it is eyes and tears that are affected by sadness (maybe the proximity to the brain). But I assume the connection itself is neurological aided a lot by hormones. It also isn’t static, it can change over time.
I for example completely lost the ability to cry. No matter how fucked up the situation, how sad, how stressed I am I feel the pressure in my eyes but I can’t cry. Keyword being “lost”, it wasn’t always like that.
But then there are people that will literally cry at every possible occasion, not even connected to sadness in any way.
I feel like it happens because somewhere in your hindsight, deep in your sub conscious mind, you know that you’ll be alright, whatever the loss be, or it’s just that you don’t actually really care, or there wasn’t much of a deep intellectual connection between you too.
Man, I almost also felt the same, but when my gf left me for someone else, that shit hit me too hard.
