For the longest time, I’d been studying human behavior and psychology because of the fascination of how we think. It’s dynamic, infinite and always changing. When someone is upset, it’s hard to tell what kind of reaction we will get, simply because people are different. They respond differently to the same stimuli. Yet in all the literature I’ve studied about emotions, psychological management, one thing is clear: human beings are like tangled yarn.

Research about the brain suggests that when we experience an onset of emotion such as sadness, the brain begins to process that as a pattern of behavior from a neurological standpoint. It becomes easier for your brain to pass information to the neurons that make you experience sadness.
