Why do I get so emotional over nothing?

People are a little bit like cars. We run on fuel, and if we run out of fuel things can start getting hairy. Going through something difficult (or a series of difficult things) can make you run low on fuel or even make you run out of fuel. It might be that you aren't emotional over nothing, you may be experiencing so many little somethings that your fuel tank is running low or even empty. Take some time to look after yourself and you might find that fuel tank starting to refuel again. Things like mental illness can make your tank start off emptier than someone who's mentally healthy, so be sure to keep an eye on your mental health and how it could be affecting your ability to run smoothly.

You get so emotional because you are human and you are sensitive. There are things out there that contradict our perception of life routinely, and it's logical that it should bring us down. With time we learn to be stronger, we wear a thick skin but like Andrei Tarkovsky, "Weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win." As far as life itself is concerned, you're simply mirroring the most sublime aspects of existence by channelling into the sincerity of your heart. Value your emotions, evaluate how you feel and show yourself compassion. Be sincere with yourself and don't necessarily look at it like it's a bad thing. Life can be a terrible, terrible experience but you'll undeniably find beauty that makes it worthwhile.

Sometimes, you tend to avoid feeling emotions so that you dont feel weak. However, this often results in all sorts of emotions building up inside of you with no space to let out. So when a small thing affects you, every emotions you tried to submerge will erupt all at once. It can be a mixed series of emotions which has no proper answer to why its existing but, letting it out will result in you feeling much lighter than you would be when you dont let it out at all. Sometimes hormones during adolescence can also be the reason for a rampage of emotions suddenly flowing

It's completely normal to feel as if you specifically feel emotional for no specific reason, however I know from personal experience that it is most likely an accumulation of different problems that have gone unaddressed or an issue in which you have misplaced your emotions. Many people dissmiss this problem with hormones especially if you are a teenager however your feelings are always valid, no matter your age or gender or even the severity of your problems and this will be relative to your circumstances no ones else's, a problem which may seem like nothing to one person may seem extreme to another, so avoid dismissing your emotions as nothing acknowledge them and seek to address the underlying problem(s).

Sometimes hormones can have HUGE effects on emotions. If you are a teenager, you more than likely have a ton of different emotions going on; it's just part of growing into an adult. Mood swings, crying over the littlest things, being angry at nothing, arguing, etc., are very common. It can get really annoying, trust me, but hormones typically will eventually slow down with time as you grow and mature. But, if you are having it constant and repetitive, I recommend seeing a doctor or specialist in this department. They are the experts in this one. I hope this helped :)

I hear this a lot! Though, most of the time we "know" it's not nothing. Sometimes it seems to come out of right field and catch us offguard and the fact that often its a small thing seems puzzling. Writers have these charts they use, its like a pinwheel with the outer edges showing the general emotion and as you go "in" to each slice of emotion the words reflect more intense versions of that emotion...like from frustration to anger to rage, say. When we deal with anything that catches us offguard and elicits a response, its unsettling and often we get angry or tearful/apologetic in response depending on our defaults individually. But really, whatever triggered it usually has *something* in common emotionally albeit at a lesser level to what is *really* bothering us. Be it grief, anger, loss. loneliness, resentment...whatever. Realizing that emotions are *information* helps me to hear what they have to say without having to immerse myself in it. "See it, don't BE it" as it were. Then if one allows that all information is useful, you can objectively receive it without having to judge it, or yourself. Over time, the better you get at realizing that your emotional response is simply a hint at some aspect of yourself/your situation that is in need of reviewing, the less often these unwanted sudden outbursts happen because like 7 Cups of Tea, you are and they are being heard in a loving manner.

It happens when you have bottled up your feeling since a long time and haven’t shared it with anyone. Or you get stressed over small things like not getting your favorite dish or not getting enough sleep or not able to watch your favorite show. These things affect us but mostly we don’t realize . There might be a lot of emotions you have ignored or declined. It also happens when we feel alone and that time we need some good social support. It can also happen due to your hormonal imbalances or vitamins deficiency. It can be normal but not always. You can seek help if you face it too oftenly.

In my view people tend to overthink about their problems which leads to even worse emotions. In my personal experience it is worth to focus on yourself and ignore surrounding and other people. Each person is having only one life and only one body, so it is crucial to stay focused on set targets. Another my advise would be is trying to understand your emotions and keep asking questions about yourself. For example, try to ask yourself what is your favourite music or what people inspire you. When it comes to myself, I like to read books about successful people and experience their stories. Interestingly, each book that I read described challenges that people faced but at the very end, those successful people were happy about their life. If you are felling emotional now, do not worry... This feeling is temporary to help to you to understand yourself even better.

It is never over nothing, though it often seems like it is. There's always a trigger factor/number of factors that's behind that emotion. This can get really confusing, worsening your already emotional state. Really, there's no reason to dislike the fact that emotions are like this. Sure, it might get hard when you're experiencing such a mental rollercoaster. But it's important to remember that your emotions are valid and that this means that you are alive. I believe you can always find the root of it if you just have a conversation with someone who listens compassionately and actively.

Emotions are a natural part of being human. My mom used to tell me that sometimes when we cry, that just means we haven't cried enough, but now that I'm a senior I believe it's a bit more scientific than that. We cry because our body needs a way to expel an overload of any particular chemical--some of us just have different thresholds at which we need to cry for. Take me last year for example where during a group discussion, I lost the point of what I was saying while I was saying it, leading to a lot of embarrassment. For one, someone interrupted me while I was talking, so I had to address this counter-argument on the spot. And second, another person said my example was just "straight up terrible." Afterwards, I ended up crying over a mere three words, but now I look back at that and realize, I needed to cry to get out those chemicals/neurotransmitters along with the embarrassed feeling they brought.
