That's not an unreasonable thing to say, but, if you had access to chemical analysis, you would see that you're demonstrably wrong. In fact the person crying is expelling a polypeptide tropic hormone called corticotropin, its principle effect being the production of androgens which stimulate neurons in your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, where a number of emotions are regulated.
