Hi welcome

What is it about crying that appeals most to you?

That was great but simultaneously weird, I guess just because you can't actually cry while simultaneously singing and have your voice do what it's supposed to. So I assume it's synched up but I guess that's what's feels off about it. Still great

 Actually while it's very difficult it can be done.  Actor Ben Platt who originated the role of dear even Hansen on Broadway had to sing a powerful song called words fail while intensely crying on stage 7 days a week.  He worked with his voice coach for months on how to do it.  How to breathe, how to clear the phlegm, it was tough but he did and it was very very powerful

I don't think so at all.  He spent many years on high doses of ssris like myself which inhibits your ability to cry and feel emotion and now that he is off then I think he just embraces the full range of his emotions as is healthy. You may not agree with everything he has to say but he is a genuinely empathetic person who suffered with severe mental illness and depression himself including suicidal ideation for years and understands what is like first hand.

What possible manipulation could there be in it for him when he gets emotional talking about the loneliness of others? Not his own suffering or pity for himself,  but the suffering of strangers? He gains nothing from that.  I think he's terribly misjudged. We as a society try to encourage men not to suppress their emotions anymore and that it's OK to cry but when a public figure demonstrates a softness in that regard you see manipulation. Cut him a little slack
