Fan Casting Running Away to Cry in Sort by Tropes

Getting emotional and crying can be an embarrassing thing. It leaves you emotionally vulnerable to others, and often times you don't look terribly nice while doing it either. Heck, according to the media, men just plain aren't supposed to cry at all, so letting others see them crying is a no-no. Therefore, it's pretty common for characters when they get worked up to go somewhere no one else can see them do it. A pretty common one is the bathroom since people have to leave you alone there. Usually, this will be followed up (or even revealed to the audience) by having one character find the other crying in whatever private area they found.
