I recognise that feeling
I think it happens to a lot of people who've had their emotions invalidated as children. My mantra to myself at the moment is 'It's okay to feel whatever you feel.' Whether it's for a big and obvious reason, or a reason that seems small, or when I don't understand the reason, or even for no reason at all. Just feeling something can't be wrong. I'm still struggling make myself believe that all the time though.
You have a right to all your feelings growlithing.
