Emotions can come from lots of places: memories of past events, hormonal changes in your body, an imbalance of neurotransmitters in your brain, low blood sugar or nutritional imbalances, stress from external sources like work, illness or debility. To find out where the emotions are coming from, examine your life and your feelings conscientiously. How you notice you're feeling a certain way, ask yourself, what are you thinking about? What did you just eat? Where are you at in your stage of life, your monthly cycle, or anything else than can affect your mood?
I get emotional because I care. I care about people, work, myself, etc. And when I put my heart somewhere or give part of it to someone and something not so great happens to that person or thing, then I get emotional because it affects me. And even though I'm not usually not able to see this when I am emotional, but for me being emotional is normal and is good because I care so much about a lot of people and a lot of things. And those emotions or that hurt is what gives people empathy. So I know that the emotions hurt and are draining, but on the grand scheme of things, it's good that we feel because it means we care. And with people who care comes empathy. And empathy is so important in the world because without emotions and empathy, the world would be so much worse of a place.
It's tough to say without more information about you and your present situation, but here's my quick answer:
Because you are a human being, and humans are emotional creatures, among other things. It's not a bad thing! However, if you want to better manage (not control) your emotions, I suggest meditation.

You most likely have endured several hardships or are currently facing them, and have not been given enough time in a peaceful environment for you to heal. Stressful lives and experiences can leave us feeling emotional as we try to find a way to deal with everything we are feeling inside. Attempting to find and deal with the main sources of pressure in your life, as well as involving yourself in some positive outlets for your emotions might help bring everything back to a more calm state ^.^
Only you can answer that. It may help you to write about what you are feeling/thinking/wanting to do and eventually work down to what you are feeling and why you might be feeling this. It can also help to talk to other people - online or in person - to help you figure things out. If this is an ongoing struggle of yours, you may benefit from some form of professional counseling to help you get more in tune with your emotions and manage high levels of emotions in a healthy way.
Emotions are completely natural things, just like breathing or blinking your eyes. It's good to connect with what emotions you're feeling, and figure out how you can work with those emotions and make them positive.

Emotions can be fleeting, but sometimes they resonate. This can be a result of experiences that you have had. It is important to realize that your emotions are valid.

Maybe you're going through a lot. It's normal to feel emotional because everyone goes through things that triggers their emotions

We are emotional and it's normal to feel some kind of ups and downs. If the changes are very abrupt maybe you're suffering stress or anxiety. Try to do something relaxing, go outside, let your mind wander a little.

You can be emotional because something upsetted you or something went wrong and feel sorry and worried about it.
when someone has nothing to do in certain time example if i finished school finished homeworks and watched tv and got bored (the mind will have nothing to take its time to think and create the right and good emtions )so you will just start thinking deeply about things that doesnt make sense or things that would bother you ! i would recommend to do things and occupy your brain example play some games spend valuable time with friends family, go somewhere do anything that you like hobbies ect...
hope that will help ;)
There are many reasons you may feel emotional. Sometimes it can be mood swings. Or something really dramatic just happened in your life.
sometimes, some situations can make us emotional. most of the time, you cannot pinpoint the correct reason as to which why. it can be the people around you, your environment, or you might be pmsing as well :(
you might also be overworked, or under loads of pressure.
remember to take some time to cool down. it can be difficult to keep up with the fast paced world around us. but self care is important too!
only by taking care of ourselves can we help the people around us or be productive.
all in all, take it easy and im sure you'll feel fine â¤ï¸
Is there something going on in your life right now that could be making you feel this way? Maybe you haven't thought about it and went through everything possible and so you are unsure. It's okay to feel emotional at times, it's completely normal to feel like this. I am here to help you and listen to whatever and everything you need me to. So, has anything big happened in your life recently? Maybe the loss of a family member? An argument with a friend? Maybe you failed a test? And whatever it is, I'll talk you through and guide 100% of the way!
I don't have enough information to answer that question but it could be a variety of things, hormones, built up problems, loss, and many other things, I don't know the actual reason and if you want help I'll need more information but those are some possible reasons
It is okay to be emotional. You are sensible and that is just great :) However, if you feel like your emotions are interfering in your daily routines, do look forward to diverting your mind to something else which will make you forget about the particular incident that is triggering your emotion.

Maybe you're going through a rough patch? From my experience, breakups are really taxing on your emotions!
Because you are letting things to take over your happiness . You giving importance to the negative things ,instead stay happy it could solve alot problems. Happiness cones from within. God bless
For me, most of the time when I'm emotional, it's the build up of all the painful experiences that I numbed and something just triggered them all to flow out at once.

Could be a number of reasons. Possibly something that has triggered a sad thought? Or maybe everything that has been bothering you is pouring onto your shoulders all at once.
It’s okay to be emotional. We are emotional creatures. It’s how it affects your life that separates the healthy emotional and the pathological. Identify what being emotional means to you and what it does to you. Identify the strategies you have to cope with all those emotions
Try journaling. Ask that same question in your journal and write what comes to mind without stopping. And by the way, it's OK to be emotional.

Because we as human beings have feelings and it's okay because those emotions marks what we have went through.

It could be that you are having a very challenging day today. It's okay to cry but always try to see what good has happened today.
It's tough to give a specific answer, but without knowing any background information or exploring your emotions deeper, I would simply say because it's totally normal and you are a human being! We all experience emotions due to hormones, stress, things and people we love and care about, changes in our lives, and for all sorts of reasons! There are ways to explore what's causing such a surge in emotions right this second, but for a simple answer, because you're a human being with emotions, the way you were meant to be. :)
It could be for a range of different reasons - situational impact, social impact, hormonal, mental, physical
Check your reaction to your emotions. How are you reacting to your emotions? If you try observe your emotions objectively without resisting them, you will find yourself calmer.

It is very hard to answer this question without any information. Why do you think you are feeling this way right know? Has anything different happened in your life?
Sometimes we go through time where we don't know what's going on which can be scary. For example, I didn't realize that I liked a friend of mine until he started to date my other friend. This was a very emotional time for me, so emotional that I started to self-harm. I stopped now but sometimes I get a little traumatized about what happened.
