Advisors may cry during thesis writing due to feelings of frustration, disappointment, or stress. They may also become emotional when they see their students struggling or putting in a lot of effort.
No, crying is a natural human response and is not a sign of weakness. Advisors are invested in their students' success and may become emotional when they see their students facing challenges.
It is important to remember that your advisor is human and may become emotional during the thesis writing process. You can offer support and try to understand their perspective. It may also be helpful to communicate openly and address any concerns they may have.
It is not uncommon for advisors to cry during thesis writing, especially if they have a strong relationship with their students. However, every advisor is different and may have different emotional responses to the process.
Tension between advisors and students during thesis writing can be caused by a variety of factors, such as differing expectations, communication issues, or conflicting ideas. It is important for both parties to communicate openly and address any concerns to prevent tension from escalating.
