Too emotional?

I am an extremely emotional and sensitive person and I just get upset over the slightest things. I just cry and get offended at the most stupid things that most other people wouldn't. I don't know if it's because I analyse and look into too much what people say but it's really annoying. I only ever get into tears when it's around family though. If something upset me with friends I'd put on a brave face or it wouldn't even bother me.

To name a few examples, I was giving my parents presents and my dad was fixing a DVD player into the television and I give him the present but he goes "just a minute!" in a really irritable way which made me upset because I thought to myself that he's not even grateful when i've spent time, effort and money on him. So I cried over that. It's really weird. It's not an immature thing, it's a sensitive thing.

I was just wondering if anyone else is this emotional? And how to overcome this? I need to be stronger, especially with such pathetic things like that.

by any chance, you aren't like 13-16 are you?
Sounds like hormones to me, if you know in retrospect that you over reacted, but you just suddenly let it get to you everytime....time will make you care less :biggrin:

I'm exactly the same! :bawling:

Trying really hard to sort myself out.

Actually, no, now that I think about it I think I'm growing out of it. You probably will too :smile:

Being too sensitive is better than not being sensitive enough imo.

I think he was joking about the doctor thing, because its a part of growing up...

Just to let you know, you're not the only one. I have this with people sometimes, but I guess you have to try and stop caring.

Like if something bothers me, I don't jump to silly conclusions. I try and rationalise with myself and forget about it. :redface:

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Depends on the severity of the issue.

Also, I think it might be in the family.

My Mum didn't buy my Dad a newspaper the other day when she had told him she would and he said he hated her and he still isn't talking to her. It's a matter of 'principle' he says. That she didn't care about his feelings and he had to go get it himself. :rolleyes:

I hope I don't end up like taht.

Because its likely to be hormone related. Maybe he\she will suggest taking the pill? I dont know for sure.

Oh ok then! It's kinda hard to stop caring though lol.

Hmm, I dunno, I've always been like this. But I'm only just starting to notice how pathetic it is. It's all very well trying to be strong but emotions are emotions!

Oh wow, and I thought I was bad. Was it a mistake or intentional? If it was intentional I can see where he's coming from. But a mistake, nah.

It was kind of intentional. She just didn't think he'd react like that.

They're still not talking because of it; and it's Christmas for goodness' sake!

Bah. :dong:

He'll get over it? I'm sure. I hope.

At least with me it takes a few minutes to get over it. Doesn't change the fact it's embarassing.

Too emotional?
