Is it normal to randomly start crying?

When I’m alone, sometimes I’ll randomly start crying. I’m not talking like bawling my eyes out where my face gets puffy and red, but like maybe 5 or 6 tears will just slowly drip down. It doesn’t make my eyebrows or chin scrunch or even make my face red, it’s like how your eyes get teary after a yawn or something. This has been happening for like 3 years now. I’m not even sad when it happens normally, I’ll just be alone on my phone watching videos or something. Anybody have any info?

    I just looked it up. There is something known as computer vision syndrome, which is caused by computer or phone lights being up next to your eyes that can make your eyes water. This is especially true if you blink less.

    That doesn't sound like crying, just because your eyes tear up doesn't mean you're crying. I've had this happen to me few times but it's usually just one eye and it's happened like 3 times in my entire life. Once I was the mall and all of a sudden one of my eyes just started tearing up like crazy and I had tears dropping down my chin for no reason. I've heard that this can happen due to dry eyes actually, as weird as it sounds. It can also be inflammation of the eye or allergies though.

        Were you laughing really hard? Sometimes people start crying when they've been laughing really hard.

    Are you crying, or are your eyes watering? Allergies or hormonal? Or are you leaking?

      Crying, about 5-6 tears down my face. I’m not allergic to anything, and i don’t feel moody or hormonal when it happens so I’m not sure.

        If no emotions are attached to the "crying" why do you call it crying?

          I just went with calling it crying rather than ‘leaking through the eyes’ or something. Definition of crying for me anyway was tears coming out of your eyes, never really thought about the definition
