No, of course it's not ridiculous. We're all here because we were given an extra dose of emotions (maybe I'm assuming too much about some people, but it's why I'm here.) They are very hard to control, if not impossible, when they are this strong. If they weren't we wouldn't be struggling so much.
I think that, in a way, it may make us nicer people. So maybe we wouldn't really want to change ourselves so much. It just hurts sometimes.

With my last boyfriend, 10 years ago, I loved him very much. I could tell by things like that if he beat me at a game I was happy because he got to win. When I broke up with him, because he just kept lying and lying and it's just not healthy to be with someone like that, it took me a long time and many tears to get over it. Now, I'm no model of perfect mental health, I just mean that I understand and don't think you're silly.
