Then, on the other side of the spectrum, there's me (and people like me...of course). My emotions have an impact on everything I do. They can and will be the deciding factor on whether or not I do something (and everything).
It seems like I see people plowing through life by way of shutting off their emotions. Sort of like they are naturally drawn toward thinking through obstacles instead of feeling through them.
I'm not saying "normal" people have it easier because they don't have the problems that come along with being over emotional, but at first glance it certainly appears to be simpler.
This post may not even make sense...but that's ok. It is just an unrefined thought.

I totally understand what you mean. To be honest, I'm jealous of normal people. Their lives are so much more...manageable for lack of a better word.
It's crazy how our emotions can dominate our lives. I've given up some major opportunities because I was feeling anxious or down on those days, and I remember just feeling outside of my body thinking "Get it together." But I couldn't.
Normal people can do that. But they do have emotions that influence what they're feeling. I guess it's just not as "extreme" as ours, to put it as you said. And their feelings are irrational, not as a swing.
Hope my response didn't come across too weird or anything
