Alternatives To Showing Sadness With Tears

I feel like my characters cry too much. What are some ways to show their sadness and pain that doesn't involve crying so I can have some variety in their reactions?

Alternatives to Showing Sadness with Tears

- becoming really quiet/not wanting to speak much- staring at the ground, out the window, or vacant staring- slumped, defeated posture- closed posture (arms crossed or hugging self, standing apart from others)- frowning- resting head/chin on hand or burying head in folded arms on table- not laughing or smiling, or giving only half-hearted laughs or smiles- sagging posture/lack of motivation- sighing a lot- rubbing neck/chest - avoiding people or a certain situation- leaving the room or preferring isolation- sitting outside alone- seeming absent-minded when doing things- not finding comfort in things that usually bring joy

I hope that helps! :)
