How emotional are you?

Post Reply New Topic

It depends on what you consider "emotionality". If, like th eoriginal poster suggests, it means how prone you are to emotional outbursts, I am very emotional...I can have meltdowns over little things, and rage pretty much in the meltdown. On the other hand, I am not affected emotionally by all of the same things that NTs are. For example, I didn't really respond emotionally to the deaths of my grandparents (neither did my father,s o it didn't really get noticed)...I wasn't very close with them, but I should have reacted just because they are family. Also, I might react to a little detail in a situation which is entirely different from the big picture, eg. when someone on my former ward told us he had incurable cancer, I felt bad for him, but I ended up laughing at something tiny that was funny that happened shortly after that.

I'm not really emotional, sometimes I can be but I usually hide it.

I'm not emotional except when it comes to anger. I get pissed off pretty easily.

I get angry and express indignation vocally about injustices and can empathise here to large degree .

Otherwise , I have trouble relating to how people feel about things and am therefore distant.

I have difficulty processing my emotions, so they can build up unless I make myself process them by writing a journal every day. That helps with keeping them under control.

I often get emotional about things that other people think are trivial and then I don't get emotional about things that other people think are major. I got in a huge distressed panic that an electrical gadget in my house was making a weird ticking noise that it shouldn't be making, and I phoned my dad and he could not understand why I was upset at all. But for a big thing, like a death, then I will respond calmly and not cry, and then people think I don't care. But I do - I just process it slowly and privately.

I am quite unemotional. I don't feel or show any emotion at even my closest relatives' funerals or when I see that people have died on TV. But I cried for hours when I found out my cat I'd had for 10 years had cancer and then I cried for days when he was put down.

I hear that....I was devastated when my first pet guinea pig died.

I'm emotional but can't seem to show my reactive feelings towrard many ppl. My dad use to slap us all if we ever cried or whined saying how worse off ppl had it. Glad he did since I saw so many females fall for the kind of man my dad was and behave in such an emotionally state....it was almost like saying...(See I told you so!)

Most of my feelings are the result of frustrations and obsessions. The hormonal rages I used to have did a real number on my brain, and I am glad these have ceased.

I display empathy toward injustice related to a particular special interest, and vulnerable life, such as animals and children. Those (usually foolish adults) who have put themselves at risk I can only shake my head and roll my eyes.

I can get VERY emotional. My partner has noticed there is a patern. He says my mind gets caught up in a single thought. He says most of the time this is harmless, like when I am obsessed with a particular thing (right now Dutch bicycles). However, if it is a particular negative thought pattern it will keep repeating and sometimes escalating.

It is not that I am "flat". It is more like that I have an atypical emotional response, and my circular thought patterns which are normally pretty harmless, result in having a damaging effect.

very emotinal online, not so much in real life im quit stoic, and have the movements of a very old and wise buck of the forests

i wept wretchedly in dispair and grief when i finally realised i did not give a damn about anything.
