3.Draws the attention you require
When your sad and feeling down it makes your loved ones and those around you to give you space or help you even without asking for it. It is also noted that it gives us a form of validation as if we have the right to do it. Further, it is also noted that the concern from others is measured to the rate of sadness you are projecting. This can be problematic for those who are really just acting sad to get the attention of others.
