I only get teary eyed when I'm really mad. I remember a couple of school incidents where I had an altercation with someone and my eyes started to moisten. They picked up on that as a weakness, rather than a warning they were about to be punched in the face.
Nowadays, I don't get angry over anything, and I certainly don't cry when I'm sad.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." (M. Scott Peck)
