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.
