Today, I was out to lunch when someone in the distance proposed to his partner. She said yes, everyone clapped and cheered. I, on the other hand, burst into tears and couldn't stop bawling for about half an hour. I'm a 32 year-old man and didn't even know the happy couple. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my long-term boyfriend took me to my favorite restaurant. After the main course, he knelt down and finally proposed to me. I was so happy, I almost cried. Until an old woman came over and said I was way too old for him. I'm three years younger than my fiancé. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She was so happy that she began flapping her hands around and screaming. She was flapping her hands so hard she smacked herself in the face and started crying. FML
Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in the food court at the mall. When she said "Yes", the entire food court broke out in applause, and my girlfriend and I were then escorted out of the mall for "starting a riot." I never knew clapping was a crime. FML
Today, I was walking through the park when I saw a guy getting down on one knee to propose. As I passed by, I gave a big thumbs up and loudly said, "You got this!" He was actually tying his shoe. No one else was actually even there with him. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend of nearly 2 years out to dinner so I could propose. When the waiter brought the check, I caused a bit of a scene to get everyone's attention. When I got on my knee and proposed, she said no and asked if I could hurry up and pay, because she was embarrassed. FML

If OP says he doesn't know the couple it means he's not sad or unhappy but actually happy for them and very empathetic. (I'll never understand why "empathetic" is spelled "empathetic". It's a mix of "empathy" and "pathetic" like it's pathetic to have empathy. You english speakers are way to complicated.) @jpants, yep, I know, we have the same in french. But if you have "empatie", you are "empatique", not "empathetique". Why add a useless syllable?

It makes a little more sense when you check out the derivation :) em- (Greek for “in”) + pathos (Greek for “feeling”)

30 minutes might be a bit excessive.

OP look up PBA Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a condition that's characterized by episodes of sudden uncontrollable and inappropriate laughing or crying. Pseudobulbar affect typically occurs in people with certain neurological conditions or injuries, which might affect the way the brain controls emotion. I developed it after being on Antidepressants for years and then getting off them. I don’t know if the Antidepressants had anything to do with it in my case or if they were masking the effects of PBA. Depression and PBA are different but have a few common traits.

Well shit, that may be why I have random HEAVY urges to cry. I'll feel deep sadness out of nowhere from stuff like a stupid shoe commercial. I'm also off antidepressants and PTSD meds for a few years now. This whole thing is rather weird to me because I'm the type of person that usually doesn't cry even when literal TERRIBLE things happen.

Go to a neurologist. They are equipped to diagnose the condition. It is treatable.
