How do I know if I'm overreacting?

You will know if you are overreacting if you lash out at simple things that are easily to be solved, after a person offers you a suggestion you becoming defensive about it on the spot and blocking out what others recommendations are before they even finish or started to share.

This is definitely a hard question. Sometimes, people get heated up over small things and don't realise this once they have done harm. My advice to avoid this is thinking thouroughly about what made you angry, and asking yourself whether it is as important as you think it is. The answer most of the times is that it is not.

If your yelling and waving your hands screaming and yelling getting in people's faces driving fast cussing.

Ask a friend or a listener! Its important to find someone objective though. Worse come to worse you can do it yourself, but you gotta be objective!

Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment, and it's perfectly normal. A good way of realizing if you are overreacting is by taking a second to take a step back from the situation. You can try to put yourself in the shoes of the other person and evaluate if the way you are reacting is just.

First, evaluate the situation. Clear your head of any bias and think of the situation as a neutral person. Think about what everyone else did, and what you did/thought. If you feel as if you are when you look at yourself in a 3rd person point of view, maybe you are. Take deep breathes and asses the situation again. React accordingly this time.

I can know that only if others find it over I think others can notice that better than us but of course they should be people who love and care about us

You want to show the patient care without giving them an artificial environment. A few habits that may indicate that you are overreacting include: -Too many exclamation marks. A Listener may use exclamation marks to indicate surprise, but overusing them may give the impression that the patient is being treated as a child, and not taken seriously. -Excessive apologies towards a Patient's situation. You want to connect and sympathize with your patient, however, excessive apologies may begin to sound artificial, or even make the patient feel sorry for themselves, which is something Listeners want to avoid. We want to provide attention as well as help them prove that they are the masters of their situation, not the damsels in distress. -Judgement. Listeners on 7 Cups want to avoid judging the decisions of our patients, for that is not our purpose.

No one overreacts, that's just how you react, everyone does it differently just because you dont react the same as others doesn't mean that you are "overly" showing your emotions

We all have our own ways to cope with different things and it is to react in a way that comes naturally to you
