Micro-crying

/ˈmīkrō.krīiNG/

Micro-crying is when you spontaneously start ugly crying for only a few seconds. Then suddenly stop and suppress all of your anxiety and past trauma because bottling things up is easier than facing your problems.

"I micro-cried three times today because I remembered their is a world wide pandemic and I haven't spent time with another person for three weeks"

"I keep micro-crying because I'm two weeks behind in my classes but I just distract myself with instagram."
