Why do I get so emotional over nothing?

It's very easy to get yourself worked up and normally it's not really over nothing, even if it's something small or something you think it's stupid it's not. So it's best for you to try to find out why your gitting emotional and try to talk to us about it, we can help

Because that's the way you are and there is NOTHING wrong with that. Everyone gets emotional at times and it is a part of life.

You are the only person who can tell you how you feel about anything, whether it be 'something' or 'nothing.' Something is different to each of us, as our experiences create different perceptions of the thing itself, so while to someone it may be nothing, to you it may be everything and it is completely understandable to feel emotions. We are human and many speculate that our emotions separate us from everything else. Study your emotions and try to harness them. Ask yourself, "What do I feel right now and why do I feel that way?" Support yourself - you are already beating yourself up in that question. Tell yourself "It's okay to feel like this." Take moments for yourself, even in the middle of a school day or work day, just to think through lingering emotions so they don't build up later.

Its what is built up, for many people it is common to get so emotional. Some people get emotional over boys,grades,everything and it is just that your very sensitive and tend to get hurt easily more than others which is fine but sometimes it hurt you mentally and emotionally.

It can be because of hormones- I remember when I cried because I dropped a jellybean on the floor! everyone has rough days, and mood goes up and down :)

When I feel overly emotional about something that I would normally consider not important or petty, I take a few minutes to think about whether or not my response is appropriate and why I am feeling this way.

It couldn't be nothing there will always be something but you didn't express about it earlier but you distracted yourself until you end up not knowing what's really bothering you try to figure it out

I know you say it's over nothing, but it's probably over something even if you don't know what it is. Perhaps that picture, or painting, or song reminds you of something or someone

Your emotions are your reactions to the world. If you are experiencing some emotions, then there is a reason for this. You might want to reflect on what happened just before you started experiencing this emotion, many things can be triggers and sometimes they are not obvious. All your emotions are important because they give you clues on how you can live your life better. So when you feel like you are getting emotional over nothing, then it is time to become a "detective" and look deeper inside yourself.

There are many reasons for this and truly only you can know why, finding little distractions to let out these emotions in a creative way can help sometimes, like art or music. If you're worried about being out of control with your emotions then I'd suggest that you seek medical advice from a doctor or GP :D
