too emotional

i think basically im too emotional, i end up crying over the smallest things. like for instance in still good mates with both my exes (both quite long relationships) but like if one of them is off with me or anythign like that it really upsets me, like tonight neither of them have spoken to me all day, now there will be logical explanations for both such as one of them will have been working etc, but still, its upsetting me! it annoys me that i cry so much as people realise i do and must view me as pathetic and weak, and i dont want to cry so much, ppl must get so fed up, i just dont know what to do, i just feel like this so much at the moment....

female, i want to be stronger, i want to not get upset as easily as this cos it just sucks, i just dont know how i can change it

well if you know it's irrational, I think half the battle's won. If you're more conscious about it, I'm sure you'll fight your way past it. Good luck

Get a punch bag. If you feel unhappy go out and have a good punch. It works.

do other things! clearly you do nothing to take your mind off them so you end up thinking about them a lot, and then it builds up in your mind, think about doing other stuff :p:

hmm.
i can imagine this getting a lot of ''omgz get over yourself'' replies..

i wouldn't call you pathetic over it, because everyone has sensitive topics that if you bring up will bring a tear to their eye, but i don't know. you really ought not to get upset over something thats clearly not your fault. why put yourself through it? you're human just like everyone else, don't jump to conclusions about other people.

no-one is worth crying for, and those that are worth crying for won't let you cry.

you ought not to think so much, having a thoughtful mind is something we all want, but being too thoughtful is a bit :-/

take it easy. don't stress so much over nothing. afterall, would nothing stress over you?

Im sure you will find a guy who will comfort you and who will not think you are weak for showing your emotions.

It is a crying shame in my eyes that all guys are'nt like this. It would be so comforting to know that they would always be there for you and be an eternal shoulder to cry on. If only eh.

How old are you ?
I remember, when I was around 15, I would cry over nothing like that, not even knowing why I was crying. I would cry because I'd miss a programme I wanted to watch, because my sister had told me to get lost, because I'd had a bad grade... My dad hated it, especially since my sister was even worse ! And it didn't get any better when I had my periods...
And it slowly got better, and now, I hardly ever cry.

thanks guys yeh maybe its just my hormones playing up or whatever, im 19 btw. my last ex was really sweet about it when we were going out but now hes like "ur not crying again are u". i guess ur right though, i shudnt think about these things too much...

Maybe that's just the way you are. I get stressed easily, and in subjects like Drama I often cry if we have fights. My teacher told me to just accept it, and that everyone else would have to too. It could be hormones.

yeh well they will just have to accpet that im like this and that some days i may just cry for no reason, but its not exactly my fault, but still, it gets me down when i cant control it

Reply 16

I had a cry for no reason day today, no idea why but i woke up feeling like crap and i still do now. I think females tend to get more emotional, i wouldn't worry unless it seriously starts to affect you then maybe go see a doctor.

I definitley think females are more emotional than guys. I sometimes just cry for absolutely no reason, I did it at work yesterday. Its just something some girls do (and probably more than admit it). Feel better :smile:
