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!

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.

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

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.
