why are some people so emotional ?

[Lunas Husband 2,777]

I'm very emotional, and sensitive. As to why I don't know I just am, and its kind of hard to live like this you know? I cry very easily and then I feel bad because then I think others well look at me oddly for it.. so I cry more and just ahh

[Scootalove 10,689]

It is better to have emotions than just be robotic because, having emotions shows that we're all equal in emotions sometimes.

[Moonlight 7,287]

Well, it's hard to tell really. Some people are just emotional while some may have had something that caused severe emotional stress like a bad childhood, abuse in any form, or maybe something like anxiety or bi-polar syndrome and so on. Personally, I usually mask my emotions and I keep myself emotionless for a good majority of the time. I only allow myself to feel emotions when I want to, which is maybe the weekend every two weeks when my friend hangs out with me. So, all in all, it just really depends on the person, but you can't forget that some may be attention-seekers as well, not all, but a select few. It just depends, that's all.

Easy: Everyone is different. Since you doesn't seem to understand other's feels, I guess you are "Thinking" instead of "Feeling". I totally understand you point of view, since I am myself "Thinking" (More precisely INTP). You should consider studying the MBTI a bit, it's interesting and it makes us understand others more easily.

 

But it's up to you.

[Cygnus 60]

I would just chalk it up to poor coping skills and move on. Some people take a little longer to learn how to manage their lows.

@@EP1C N3RD,

 

I suppose it's because they aren't afraid to truly express themselves openly...I mean of course it can get a little obnoxious with them being that way all the time but it's always good to have friends that are trusting of you with their feelings. That is real companionship if I've ever seen it.

 

Me personally...I've kept so much stuff bottled up over the years. You will never..EVER see me cry. I don't know but I believe it makes me vulnerable and weak. I'm pretty good at pretending as well. I could be having the most miserable time of my life (say someone I knew died for example) and you would never know...cause I'd just smile and ask ya 'How ya doin'?' like it was another normal day...Just be happy you have people you can trust with your emotions Don't get too upset with them

[ChoroChii 284]

Probably has something to do with neurology and the brain. Or hormones, I'm not entirely sure.

I don't even understand my emotions most of the time. I either feel nothing or my emotions are super high.

 

I really have an issue with people who are incredibly emotional. Or.. What they call "emo". I believe you just are socially awkward and depressed about stuff. You need to see a doctor and get help. You wonder why you're so alone and sad, well... Stop being such a shut in.

 

I can understand how being around emotional people can be distressing but you seem to be pretty judgmental over it. People aren't 'emo' for being emotional, socially awkward, or shut ins. Doctors can't always help, in fact, they often make it worst and it's harder than you might think to stop being a shut in.

My Response to this topic: It really depends on the personality of the person and how their parents have raised them. If they've been raised where they are shown emotion or where they have to deal with emotional things daily they'll adjust to that and probably become more sensitive to emotion than others because they understand it at a deeper level. People who aren't introduced to the emotional world most likely won't understand it as much. 

 

My Friends Reply to this topic; Because everyone goes through things and has a hard time.

[Rinkitty 589]

Because that's how they are. I don't know. Emotions are alien to me.

[Derpaholic 1,155]

I'm one of those unhealthily emotional people.
I cry at least three times a week, and most of the time, I don't even know why.
Fuck BPD.

[CornBreadGang 514]

I honestly can tell you why.

Life is hard, we all know this to be a fact, and some people need to let out their feelings in, for a lack of better terms, extravagant way. I used to be, but then I have started to bottle up my emotions. It probably will kill me young, but it's worth it to not have people feet over me.

[sunset_sprint 190]

I think showing emotion and being emotional is just a level of self-awareness that most people should reach. If you are experiencing the "feels" let those emotions lead you, it doesn't make you weak or weird. If anything it allows you to be more vocal about yourself and your personal worldviews.

[~Master~ Button Mash 2,307]

I think being emotionally open is a virtue. I struggle with emotional reservation myself, so I wish I didn't have so much trouble expressing my emotions. 

[Felix 1,363]

Gosh. I don't know. I'm very sympathetic and tend to be over the top worried, stressed, and sensitive to certain events. I wish I wasn't. I know why I am...or I'm pretty sure I am. I hide it though. I know it's not good for me. It's just...people often say things like "Oh that guys just attention whoring." "Oh he just wants attention. Leave him be." and that scares me. I love expressing myself. It's a chance to kind of relieve what gets so packed up inside of me and to show who I really am. Those comments make me feel bad about myself though. My friend often tells me to seek help from others but no matter how kind they sound and willing to do it...I don't want to ask due to being terrified they'll think of me wrongly. Often those sorts of comments that say people are seeking attention may very well be true, but it bothers me that people say it in such a way as to mean they're completely choosing to ignore the fact they want attention because they're hurt or feel lonely. It's an ignorant comment, but that's why it makes me feel bad. I get the idea people say that and then I suddenly mean nothing to them.

 

Just by saying what I said you might even see the distress I have. Being too emotional isn't fun...at least, in these situations.

[Pinkie Dust 85]

I'm super emotional, but I can hold my composer really well lol. I guess some people just can't sometimes :S But my friends hate how I can get really philosophical and poetic when I talk. I just claim that there stupid but they just don't get as deep as I do on things. In retrospective if I met myself from anothers point of view and I came off like that, I'd think I'm a douche, no lies lmao.

 

Wish I did have more intellectual friends though, and people who didn't throw shit at me when I cry during movies lmfao. Nobody likes an emotional douche

omg you just liked described my life this is scary you like just described me this is really strange.\

 

edit: I just checked your profile and your even more like me than I thought.

Some people are "so emotional" because emotion is a human element and like all things human, it can, will, and and does vary between individuals.

 

Honestly, I'm concerned that the question even needed to be asked.

This is what I refer to in almost all dealings with people. It does not cover everything, but it is easily relatable and what is there is absolutely true.

Because it's just in human nature to be emotional. And some are just more so then others. Most of the times. The most emotional persons make best friends though

[Malinter 3,064]

Some people can have underlying conditions that can make them more or less prone to being emotional.

 

Some people could been raised in a why that showing emotion is a weakness or something they should not do which can develop into an unhealthy mindset.

Some people care too much about everything

some people care too little.  i find it best to be a perpetual fence-sitter, except when it really counts.

[Frosty Flurry 173]

Emotion is natural and there for you have emotions. And some people just care more or are affected genectically

We are not inanimate obejcts

[Dsanders 5,747]

I'm quite an emotional person myself. However, contrary to what you're stating, I do not act emotional with the purposeful intent of seeking attention. It's something most emotional people can't really help. Yes, it can be a burden at times but that also doesn't mean it is a trait you shouldn't have. It comes with a great benefit, such as being able to provide great emotional support for those who feel emotionally broken. Sympathy has been a great blessing for me in my relationship to my girlfriend. When she's sad or is having a emotional breakdown, I'm able to give her my full support, comfort, and can even feel and relate to what she is feeling to an extent.

 

As to why? In most cases, life just makes people that way. The things they go through as a child. Abuse, divorce, going from relationship to relationship, feeling ostracized and neglected, etc. It all depends..

[Commander Tangent 861]

I tend to be an emotional person. though I don't do it for attention, it's more a part of my nature and just a part of me. 

[Midnight Dragon 264]

This isn't the case for all of them, but for people like me it's due to things like depression, and even some form of autism. We can't control how sensitive we are...
