Why do I get so emotional over nothing?

Our emotions can be a response system the way our body temperature spikes up when it is fighting against a sickness. Getting emotional means that you have a healthy response system that is allowing you to feel a certain way because that is the only way for you to feel better later on. A situation may be termed "nothing" by our brain but it can at the same time be emotionally triggering for your mind which in turn warrants an emotional response from you. Accepting that it is not nothing and then introspecting to see why that situation may be triggering for you can help you be a little more compassionate towards yourself. Getting emotional is a sign that you have the strength and courage to find out what is happening and give yourself a chance to understand yourself a little better.

Probably a defense mechanism. Although the Nature vs. Nurture argument will be ongoing, growing up in a chaotic home environment can contribute substantially. When there's limited self-discipline instilled by the parent(s) or guardian(s), the child is left on their own to deal with life's obstacles as they grow older. Any trigger, even minor, can lead to an extreme (over)reaction without foresight. On the positive flip side, getting the intellectual upper-hand on unwanted emotional reactions works wonders. The original question shows awareness that there is a situation to remedy, and it certainly can be. Make commitments to coach yourself by "time out" moments in times of fear, anxiety or anger. Good luck to the original poster.

Emotional over nothing is not possible, there is always be a reason behind everything, it is just that a lot of people don't realize it. What you see and hear trigger what happened in the past Let's say when you're a kid, you went up to hike on a mountain and a heavy rain strikes. The road was all slippery because of the rain and that made you fell down many times. This kind of memory might comes up when you're walking under the rain, the smell of the rain might trigger your subconscious mind to that specific memory in the past, that is why the same thing will happen with being emotional.

Right now more than ever we are experiencing a flood of emotions. Our lives have completely changed and we have had almost no control over these changes. Additionally, we are unable to lean on the company of those we trust because of the pandemic. We experience mental exhaustion from the overuse of technology but rely on it for connection. Emotions are normal and we shouldn’t suppress them. I would encourage you to allow yourself to feel these, really feel them. Try journaling them in order to understand where they are coming. Sometimes when we know the root, we can better manage what we are feeling. Clearly your emotions are not “nothing”. You’re feelings are real.

This happens when you have suppressed desires, feelings and impulses. It also might happen if you have unexpressed hurt, frustration or anger.Feeling of being unloved or not cared enough can give rise to such a state. Simply, being tiered may also cause us to feel this way. We are unaware of emotional baggage in our unconscious. However, it does manifest in ways that we are unable to understand. It’s very natural to experience this way. Fee things can be solved by discussion or sharing with someone trustworthy , some can be by actions and some just get better as the time progresses.

For me, getting emotional over something small has to do with a number of different factors. Am I tired, am I hungry, am I stretched too thin at the moment, etc. For me, it also has to do with life experience. The more life experience I acquire, the less emotional I become over petty things. Perspective has come with age. I remind myself constantly to keep things in perspective. I also try to be judicious as to what I put on my emotional plate and what I must leave off. Again, something that has come with life experience.

Sometimes it can be hard to see the issues causing our emotions, but it is unlikely that "nothing" is causing us to be emotional. Many different factors or happenings can cause us to become emotional. Emotions and feelings can arise from hormonal changes, chemical imbalances, life circumstances, emotional/situational triggers, and more. Sometimes our circumstances can even lead us to cover up our emotions, or bottle them up, until they build up too much and some small, seemingly innocuous problem comes up and makes them all tumble out. Finding out the root cause will help you gain clarity on why you are becoming emotional.

You probably have lot of things on your mind right now that you wanna say out loud, but you fail to find the right way to express your emotions. That's why you "burst" on every little thing that may or may not be related to something that bothers you. Ask yourself when it all started. Try saying it out loud alone in the room. Then, write it down. And when you gather strength, go to some person (or people) you trust and say all that in front of them. You will feel better just by knowing you have someone out there that cares for you. In the end, it is ok not be ok sometimes! :)

Everyone has individual thoughts, feelings, emotions, strengths and weaknesses. Being emotional isn’t a weakness. Its a expression. Showing emotion shows that you are a person. A unique individual with feelings. Some people often say “i wish they would show more emotion” when someone doesn’t express their emotions. Perhaps it is because you care. Or because you are in touch with your feelings. Showing emotion or being over emotional isn’t always a negative thing. It is just a part of you. It is a expression that you show. You say it is over nothing? Even if it is over nothing, there is nothing wrong with showing your emotions.

Feeling heightened emotions or like you're unable to control your emotions can come down to diet choices, genetics, or stress. It can also be due to an underlying health condition, such as depression or hormones. Emotional overwhelm is a state of being beset by intense emotion that is difficult to manage. It can affect your ability to think and act rationally. It could also prevent you from performing daily tasks. Emotional overwhelm may be caused by stress, traumatic life experiences, relationship issues, and much more. feeling overwhelmed, helpless, or hopeless. feeling guilty without a clear cause. spending a lot of time worrying. having difficulty thinking or remembering. sleeping too much or too little. having changes in appetite. relying more heavily on mood-altering substances, such as alcohol.

I don't believe that is is fair to yourself to brush off your emotions as "nothing." Your feelings should always be validated. Introspection should be done in order to underpin the specific triggers that are causing you this distress. Your emotions and mental health should never be brushed off as a simple "nothing." Care for yourself and speak to someone before it escalates into something worse. big or small, every emotional response should be examined, especially if you undergoing a time of emotional distress. Your body ands trying to convey a message to you, so actively listen and introspect.

There can be a few reasons why we get seemingly emotional over nothing. The biggest would probably be we were probably triggered on a subconscious level that we did not realize. Perhaps you have experienced some stress from a previous similar situation and you thought you had managed it since then but it is still a little triggering. It may even be from some time ago that you do not actively think about. Sometimes it's not even related to a past situation, but instead you may have been frustrated or with other things currently and this seemingly small thing which usually does not bother or faze you at all, just was the one that pulled the plug and so all your pent up emotions regarding the other things just came out. It could just be a stressful day so don't worry to much about it. However, if you feel you do get these episodes often, you may want to talk about it with a professional because it may be due to other conditions.

It is normal to get emotional and it is not something that one can control therefore no reason to blame anything. It seems that you are frustrated about getting emotional which is understandable. It may not be over "nothing". Something may be bothering you and has disguised itself as "nothing" or there may be trapped emotions within you that are escaping as "nothing". I sometimes get emotional too and this can be the result of many reasons. Reasons such as hormones, stress, anxiety etc. Do not blame yourself and instead try to understand yourself. The reasons for getting emotional can be linked which could give you the reason why.

I can often feel heightened emotions or like I am unable to control my emotions as a result of diet choices, genetics, or stress. It can also be due to an underlying health condition, or health anxiety, such as depression or hormones. This distinction between the anxiety you feel and the worry that leads to it is crucial. Because if you want to feel less anxious, the only real solution is to learn to manage your worry habit better. Ultimately, worry is a form of thinking — a version of negative self-talk, to be more specific. It involves trying to problem-solve things in the future that either A) aren’t really problems, or B) you aren’t capable of solving. It is also important to make a time to check in with your expectations for key people and relationships in your life and adjust them to be as realistic and helpful as possible.

It might mean that you really value something. Although you don't understand what it is, there is something you really care for. It usually takes time for it to hit you or it doesn't hit you at all. Like still up to this day I would say I'm pretty emotional over nothing but it just goes to show that I really value something to the point it "hurts" but its hidden to the point I can't find it, if that makes sense. Hope I was able to answer your question. You're loved and special.

If you're getting emotional over something, it's not "nothing". You might have too much on your plate, so any little thing pushes you over the edge. Maybe you don't understand your emotions, and that's why it feels like you're getting upset over nothing. Or maybe you're experiencing stronger emotions than you normally do. Whatever it is, it's okay to experience that emotion, even if it seems irrational. Pay attention to yourself and the things you're feeling. Having insight helps you to better cope with your situation. If you want to reduce emotional outbursts, practice self-compassion. Being kind to yourself will go a long way

Just because other people don't feel the way you do about something doesn't invalidate your feelings. You're a unique individual with your own way of experiencing the world. It's easy to believe that your feelings don't matter because other people pay them little mind. But in reality, paying attention to your own feelings is the only way your life can have meaning. You don't get emotional over nothing; you just get emotional over things other people don't (appear to) get emotional over. When you get emotional, listen to what your heart is telling you. You might learn something important.

There are various reasons this could be happening. Often times, we are emotional over "something" but we are just having trouble identifying what that something might be. Reflection exercises, talking it out, seeking therapy/counseling, can provide important skills for self-awareness and help one "sit" with their emotions so they can hone in on the root of the feeling. Identifying the feeling first, then knowing how to reflect on the trigger for that emotion, is a valuable skill that can help one better cope during difficult times. In some instances, however, feeling emotional over "nothing" could have a neurological, chemical, or hormonal cause. Mood disorders and mental health issues, such as depression, could contribute to a real, physical cause for imbalanced emotions and insufficient release of chemicals in the brain that contribite to our feelings of happiness. Other times, hormonal imbalances or disorders originating at the hormonal level can contribute to chemical imbalance that affects brain function and emotional regulation. Something as seemingly simple as vitamin or nutrient deficiency, lack of good sleep, exercise, or self-care regimen could even be to blame! There are so many factors that could play into this, whether physical/biological, environmental, or maybe even a bit of both, but there is always a cause, and no one is ever emotional over "nothing." If something feels off, it is wise to seek help and identify the cause. The key to healing from this effectively is seeking professional treatment that considers all possible factors with someone credentialed to identify and help you work on the issue. If a mental health disorder is detected, a referall should be made to someone who can provide diagnosis and in some instances, prescribe and manage medication if this is necessary. Always seek help from a licensed professional for a mental health issue, and supplement this by reaching out to the 7 Cups community for supportive listeners!

Some things weigh heavier than others, emotionally. It can feel very different from one person to another as everyone processes situations and emotions very differently. It's important to remember that your feelings are valid, always. No matter the feeling, even if it isn't rooted in facts, it is valid. Does that mean that you need to let the feeling linger or sit with you? Of course not, but they are all valid. What helps me process hard emotions the most, is journaling. Different coping skills work differently for different people, but sometimes it's relieving to release those thoughts onto paper through writing. It can take awhile to find what coping skill(s) work best for you, but it's good to have a strong "coping skill toolbox". I wish you all the best
