it’s not over nothing, maybe you bottle feelings up until you just have to let something out. Being emotional isn’t necessarily bad, it just means you’re able to feel more then others.

It's normal to feel strong emotions, and it is common to have them come up over things are brains tell us are "nothing." As scary as it can feel, sometimes it's worth investigating both the feelings and the "nothing" to learned about our emotional reactions and what triggers them. Good luck!

It's unlikely that being emotional can be over nothing, there is likely a route that hasn't been identified. Be this your current physical state or your mental state and factors around you.

Sometimes your mind can be saying things to you that you may not understand. Always be there for yourself and try to understand the feelings and emotions you are having.

By getting emotional over something shows you care about it, while it may seem insignificant people who tend to get emotional show a lot of care and empathy where others may not. Being emotional isn't always a bad thing :)

You could be hormonal, it’s definitely worth talking to somebody about this as you may not understand everything that comes with hormones it could even be a hormonal imbalance, nothing to worry over but maybe talk to a doctor too

People seek easy answers to complex questions! There are a number of things that could be going on here... other people might be telling you you are getting emotional for no reason, because for some reason they are unwilling to face their part in the fact that you are upset... but equally well, you may indeed be overreacting and there could be health reasons for this... unbalanced hormones, thymus... either way, establishing a way to feel calm within yourself is the optimal way of living... and If I had the answer sampled and bottled I would send it to you!

Because some of us are built as emotional types. Ever since i was young i couldn't understand why i was so sensitive. Even now my bf calls me hyper emotional sometimes and he's an emotional chap. So i was hospitalized when i was 9 because my body had started becoming paralysed due to all that bottled up emotional energy i had. i grey up in a broken home but at the time i didn't know it. My parents fighting affected me very badly to the point where i would go silent for weeks and no one would seem to notice. They were so into their own fights and failures and successes that they failed to realize i was a being. there, witnessing everything they were doing and it affected the very way i saw myself.

People get so emotional over nothing because of many reasons. It can be because something trigger you to be emotional. It may appear "nothing" in the surface but deep inside, you really care about it. Maybe, you just pretend that you don't or maybe, you forget that fact that you really do care. That's why when something happened similar to it, or when you heard something connected to it, all the emotions seem resurfacing again. All the emotions are appearing again with the memories you have. It may also be because you are thinking about the endless possibilities about this "nothing" you are talking about. Thus, making you anxious and emotional.

When I get emotional over nothing, I know it's because something deeper is going on. So I ask myself what the emotion is trying to tell me. For example, if my boss contacts me over the weekend and I get so frustrated that I cry. I know it's not just because she contacted me, but because I'm feeling overwhelmed with my lack of boundaries across all areas of my life. So I take action towards setting more boundaries so that I feel safe in the world rather than living in fear that someone will cross a boundary that I have may set, but only have set in my mind. No one can read your mind so you have to tell people what you need and how they can support you.
