How emotional are you?

Post Reply New Topic

I would consider myself very emotional. I tend to either hide it and seem very calm, or let it out in a crazy rage! I mean, I've broken a glass on someone before! (for granted I was not expecting it to break at all, and they were sorta err...attacking me) It's not that I'm mean, just don't really know what to do to let it out, otherwise. XD. I wish my family understood I'm actually a lot less angry at them when I'm letting it out than if I was forced to shut it. And I can't communicate at ALL when I'm upset.
But a lot of times I don't let out enough emotion. It's wierd. XD
What do you do when you're angry or in an emotional situation? Do you ever feel very emotional?

I occasionally get very emotional because I sometimes can't let something go so I feel I need to keep talking about it to let it all out and then I feel I have moved on but then the feelings come back. I got a little upset when someone posted "lol" to my yahoo question about miscarriages and I couldn't do anything about it because it didn't seem to fit the criteria of violation of the yahoo answers and I couldn't mark the comment down because I was only a level one. But I saw others had marked it down because it had four thumbs down so that cheered me up a bit. Oh yeah this all normal what I'm going through.


Other times I move on quickly and am not upset about something anymore because I find it a waste to stay mad and think of a plot to get that person back. I have an aspie friend who does that and I think he is wasting his time when all he can do is let it go such as if he gets a scam letter, just toss it out and end of story. Don't get all mad and try and think of a plan to mess with those people. He thinks he doesn't hold grudges but to me that is holding a grudge because he wants to get back at people who try and mess with him. If I run into jerks online, I just ignore them and move on and don't do a thing about it.

I try to think of positive things and try and move forward in life by doing my normal things I do and thinking of other things and it distracts me from those negative thoughts I can literally forget about it for a moment. I don't let depression run my life and keep me from working and doing my normal activities and from going somewhere. I also talk to my online friends if something is bothering me to let it all out. I rarely post about them on forums because I don't want to be an attention whore and be a whiner so I keep myself private and act strong and only leave it between my friends and I. I also block out my hurt feelings by thinking positive and and telling myself positive things like "f**k that person" "That person is just a jerk" "Those people have nothing better in their lives" "They're a waste of my time for me to be upset about it" "Some people are stupid" etc.

^^ Seconded.

I can be overly emotional. I am one of those people that when I have an emotion it tends to be intense. Sometimes I have a mixture of strong emotion and I don't even now what they are, even if it's some positive I end up feeling very frustrated because I can't put my finger on it. And I have a tendancy to dwell on insignificant things.
Although there are times when I'm not feeling overly emotional and I'm completely neutral, I'm like 2 extremes. It's rare for me to be inbetween.

There's a difference between what I feel and what I express but still, I am fairly detached. My sister in law said once my family didn't actually have emotions, we just talked about them. Except for my father's periodic blowups we treated emotions like dirty underwear.

I am not as emotional as I used to be. And i find that I am better at controlling my emotions, for everyday annoyances, than before. Except if something intensely personal is upsetting me. Then I try to talk to someone trustworthy.

Emotional wreck one minute then could care less the next. Emotions like Scottish weather, unpredictable.

I'm Very Emotional, But I Tend To Hide It a Lot.

I don't tend to get very emotional, except when cats are concerned But even when I'm feeling it I rarely show it.

Emo beats Ego any day - or mood

I too am emotional in certain ways, but don't really try to show it too much. Part of it for me, in honesty, is that I'm sorta used to it at this point...I'm kinda "expecting the $#!+ to go down".

Basically, I just let out what I think needs to be let out, and leave it at that.

To top it off, I'm only emotional about certain things. I don't break down in tears over most deaths( only a few I have, such as former president Ronald Reagan), and sad movies don't get me tear-jerkin' either.

Most of the time I'm not very emotional at all, until something triggers either extreme rage or extreme sadness and crying jags. I feel like I mourn for the whole world when it happens.

I remember a young woman from Israel who had moved to the States saying that she had asked her mother why her culture was so stoical and then so grief ridden when a death occurred and her mother told her they mourn then for all the things they kept inside before.

i do not think i have much emotional capacity.
i do have "attitudes", because things i see are capable of raising my eyebrow (the left one), but other than that, i do not really care beyond my field of view which is limited to my own internal domain.
i have known people with unbridled emotions, and it seems to sweep them into uncertainty.
they do not contact me any more because my "boat" was "moored to a wharf" when they drifted by in their gathering flood of emotion. i did not break my anchor and follow (get sucked into their vacuous wake) them into a splintering demise. they are still alive but struggling in the frothy soup of the generic cistern which they inevitably emptied into.

i am far too tired to continue and my thoughts are now rather cryptic so i shall say good evening.

cool i use my left one too. XD
thats sad though.

I think I have always been an emotional person, too emotional for my own comfort at times, though I haven't always been able express it.
