Anxiety gets me emotional over things that don't seem to be much at all. I overthink a lot, and as a result, get a little "emotional over nothing." I think in these moments, when we take a step back and try to disengage from "panicking" over things, we are able to see what it is we are truly getting emotional over, and how best to handle the situation.

There could be a deeper problem which the things that seem like "nothing" are linked to. Thus, when they come up, they bring up deep emotions.
Or, perhaps you're really stressed, and your emotions are maxed out. Then, when the tiniest thing happens, it's enough to tip you over because you were already so full.

I don't know but I guess it's just my personality. I'm a sensitive person and maybe that the reason I sometimes get emotional over nothing.

Usually, what we consider as nothing is much more than we think. Often, getting emotional over nothing is a sign that you are stressed or upset about other things happening in your life. It's all a matter of uncovering the true reason behind your emotions.

If you're young, it's because there are so many hormones going crazy in your body. Just remind yourself that your feelings are valid.

There could be many different reasons that you can look into. If you have your period, it could be related to that. I know it's weird, but if you are eating the wrong foods, that could be the problem (for example, I have a sugar addiction, and I used to eat sugar every other day (literal refined sugar), and the next day or even later that day I would go through withdrawals, and it also weakened my immune system, and I had the same problem as you.) It really could be a wide variety of reasons, and I think the first step it to make sure that you are taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally.

As I see it, we are often told that we should "stay strong", "keep our head up", or "keep calm" as if it was something really easy to do. Also we are surrounded by perfectly happy people with no worries. I want you to know that in my opinion feeling emotional over anything is OK, because you are an awesome human being and will sure work trough it. Also remember, if you need help, it´s perfectly okay to ask for it and find people who want to help you.

It may seem like "nothing", but your emotions come from somewhere. A specific event that looks like "nothing" might recall a past event or tension and bring old non-managed emotions back.
So you are getting emotional over something, and it's useful to find out what it is so you can manage it.

People get emotional over nothing moments a lot. In fact, I myself do it all the time. I'll work myself up about something that really isn't that big of a deal and after the whole thing is done with I can finally breathe from the whole thing. I'm not sure why we do that sometimes. I guess just any form of change we get a little scared?

Sometimes I think there are biological reasons why we might be more sensitive some times and less other times. Both men and women are hormone factories that are continually changing based on genetic predisposition, our environment and the situations we face. With that being said, I don't think people do get "emotional over nothing" sometimes, an event or trigger that seems small may just be the culmination of multiple things that finally elicit a response. Alternatively, the event which could seem small may likely be linked to something bigger. It is always useful to explore these things when the happen to see which it is. It is never useful to dismiss a feeling as "nothing."

Being emotional over nothing is not uncommon nor is it unusual. Sometimes, we get emotional over little things as it may have reminded us of somethings that might have happened to us in the past or it is simply a way for you to let out days of build up frustrations. Many a times this is very helpful.

Everyone has different thoughts or feelings when it comes to different things. Some things may be nothing to one person, and that same thing can mean a lot to another person. It all comes from different perspectives on things and nobody should be bashed or blamed for getting emotional over nothing because that "nothing" can mean something to someone else.

It might sound cliche, but you probably are living a phase of your life that makes you more sensitive to things in general. Begin emotional is not a bad thing but try to find a balance between passion/rationality

Because you're not a robot, you're a human being! There could be unresolved issues that your subconscious is trying to deal with and it's coming out in unrelated areas.

If you are getting emotional, it usually means that there is a cause. And if there is a cause, it means that you are getting emotional over something. Don't discredit yourself and underplay the situation that causes you to feel certain emotions. No matter how insignificant a situation may seem, you have every right to feel the way you feel and react accordingly.

Well, some people just feel more than others are able to. They are more empathetic and listen better which is a good trait.
But sometimes you feel.....Too much. If it begins to affect your life negatively then you should see someone about it.
