Why do I get so emotional over nothing?

What others deem as nothing may not be so trivial to you. Remember that any little issue that means something to you still matters. What you feel is most important as it affects u.

Sometimes bottled up emotions make the smaller things seem larger. I know that I have let things add on top of each other and then cry when something comes up and pushes my stability over. People also react to situations differently.

Usually, it's not nothing. The issue you're getting emotional about might be tiny and it might seem unimportant, but if I'm getting emotional about "nothing", it's because I have other, important issues that I'm supressing, and the tiny issue might just be the tipping point for me. That or you just might be emotional, which isn't a bad thing!

Getting emotional is not at all a bad thing.you get emotional because may be you care a bit more.😊.

Because emotions are free and they reflect a part of you that wants to be heard. Acknowledge them but don't let them government you.

An emotional phase doesn't always need to be caused by a specific person or action. Sometimes we just remember a tiny detail or there is a change in our mindset which makes us think about current situations differently. It's totally fine to be emotional but of course it can be hard if you can't control it and you don't want to appear weak in public. 'But you are not weak because your heart feels so heavy' -Andrea Gibson

The reason why I get "so" emotional over nothing is because I care and because I worry. The latter, is pointless and burdensome for all involved mainly because in the end, it doesn't actually accomplish anything. I get "so" emotional because I am invested root-deep. I want to feel validated for what I do, for who I am, and not feeling like others care about the same things I do, don't prioritize the way I feel benefits everyone, irritates me and breaks my heart. My episodes of becoming "emotionally hijacked," are much fewer and in between in my goings-on in my life. My trick was to self-analyze and gauge whether I was projecting. The way to trump projection was the engage with others. Getting "...so emotional over nothing," is a sorry way to say that one cannot relate, one cannot care and one will not open up to the possibility that that persons emotions are totally valid. Whether or not they are justified, warranted or otherwise, isn't up to you to decide. #rantover

Sometimes there are underlying issues of which we are not aware. those issues could manifest as a response to something completely unrelated

Because you are a person that gets affected by everything more than others. This also happens when you're recently getting over a heart breaking experience that has made you vulnerable.

First, being emotional is perfectly normal. We usually get emotional because something is important to us, it could be that 'nothing' is our way of saying that this issue we are dealing with seems ridiculous to others, but we should try and remember that everyone reacts differently to the same thing sometimes. And if you react emotionally over something it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you.

It can be due to stress, emotional breakdowns, something up your chest that is hurting bad and you haven't noticed yet, or some mental illness. Take a deep breath, a glass of water, get your coziest blanket then take some time to think with yourself about yourself — what's been happening in your life, what parts of it are bothering you, what can you do to solve it, and what do you need. Keep going on your questions, breaking them in pieces to reach a more deep level, until you find the root of it all. For example: 1- I feel bad. 2- Why do I feel bad? 3- Is there something behind the reason that I feel bad? 4- What caused it? 5- Is it something I can deal with or do something about? Then proceed to accept the fact that you, just like us all, are a human being and it is normal to get emotional sometimes. Accept that it is totally okay to seek help, and if you want to, the community here on 7 cups is more than willing to listen to you and help.

Sometimes we get emotion of nothing because of hormonal imbalances. Or external factors like its all become too much

As humans, we are very emotional beings. We react to certain situations in different manners as coping mechanisms to accept what is going on. Don't worry, it is normal.

Some people are naturally more emotional. It can depend on a variety of factors, like personality and hormones. There's nothing wrong with being emotional, just make sure you're aware that your emotions aren't a symptom of an underlying issue.

Some people are very emotional and sometimes can become upset at small things, this is normal. But, if you are experiencing this feeling of being upset all the time, you should talk with someone.

managing emotions. sometimes small things trigger our bodies emotionally, there's no real reason, but your body feels it has the need to feel this certain way.

Because i keep thinking of how the end would look like, i might not reach it though, but this overwhelming idea about everything's dissipation is awfully disturbing. Things like (separation, breakups, leaving, death, ...) Resemble the greatest fear. We wanna keep what we have forever

Different things are going on inside with the chemicals in our brains, and that may cause us to become extra emotional. Also, sometimes we don't realize that we are upset about the little things, until they build up and one small thing sets us off.

Well, what might seem like nothing at its surface, is actually probably something much bigger at its core. I believe it maybe a sign that you have some pain and hurt from other things or situation that may have occurred in your past that you have not dealt with as of yet. And because of the deep rooted hurt you may tend to get overly emotional at what seems to be the little things...

When I think I'm getting emotional over nothing I look at whatever it is in reverse and ask myself, what is this thing that I'm getting so emotional about? It obviously means something to me, or I wouldn't be emotional about it. I have to remind myself that my feelings are clues, and I do well to not just dismiss them because somewhere along the line someone told me to "Stop getting so upset over nothing..."

When left to our own devices for too long we can often fall prey to our thoughts and insecurities. A prolonged period of reflection that can lead to anxiety, regret, anger, sadness, and so forth. It happens because we allow ourselves to succumb to those negative thoughts of ours, and without others to drown them out, we sometimes find ourselves wallowing in it. This is but one form of getting emotional "over nothing". Other times we may spontaneously burst with feelings of anger, hatred, or otherwise feelings of negativity if something we see or hear prods at our hearts (gets on our nerves). These are things which we may have felt are long gone and far behind us, but surprisingly a mere word can reignite the feelings attached to them and set us ablaze.

It's most likely not nothing! Many things can cause us to get emotional, like triggers that have the potential to bring us back to a painful time in our lives, or hormone imbalances (which we have no control over!). You're feelings are always valid whatever they are!

I tend to get emotional over nothing when I bottle up my feelings, and overtime it just overflows. It helps to talk to someone. So please don't be afraid to talk it out. This site helps me a lot and I hope it can help you too.

Your emotions are valid! It wouldn't be "nothing" if they are there. You emotions tell you in their own language what is going on inside you. Different people may have different emotional reaction to the exact same circumstance, because it's not just what's going on outside but also what's going on inside that constitutes your emotional reaction. I've been trying to pay more attention to my emotions, feel them, listen to them talk in their own voice. I'd say try to journal or talk to a listener about your emotions-- put a name to them and identify a cause (e.g. what are you vulnerable about?). This helps a lot! When you understand your emotions it's easier to manage them.

Getting emotional over small, seemingly insignificant things might be caused by another stressfactor. Maybe talking to someone like a therapist or counselor might help you identify what's been bothering you and prevent bottled up emotions.

You might be feeling like everything is overwhelming and oppressive, although it really shouldn't be. Write down everything that makes you upset and try identify a pattern and layout your mind on paper.

Because you've a got a soft hearted and you feel that you're in the place of the person who's actually feeling so.

If you get emotional, it always means "something" instead of "nothing". Sometimes other people will think something is not important of relevant, but this doesn't mean it shouldn't matter to you!

This happens to almost all of us it is when we get stressed about something that hurts us or our emotional state.

You may be dealing with a lot of stress and hard emotions which is causing you to feel emotional very quickly. Many people get very emotional especially when they are stressed and frustrated, so take the time to notice certain emotions and behaviours you might be experiencing and see whether changing these thoughts and behaviours may help you emotionally.
