Hi all,

According to the following text, could someone explain to me that what does "perplexed weeping" mean?

In the face of adamant refusal to play or a successful undercutting he will then lapse into a state called β€˜despair’, which in some respects resembles a depression, but is different in significant ways. It is more acute and contains elements of frustration and bewilderment. It may be manifested, for example, by the onset of perplexed weeping.

perplexed implies that weeping is a reaction to something totally unexpected, in this case offending.
