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.
You're right "normal" people do have it easier in some ways. They only have to deal with the problem and not the whole range of emotions we feel about the problem or even if there isn't a "problem." The emotions we feel are problematic enough.

I have to live a very low key life because If I don't I lose my freakin mind. Can't deal with stress and day to day living can be a challenge at times.

Your post made perfect sense
