Okay so I can have a variety of emotions. I tend to get lonely and depressed easily, and I am very sensitive. Like, if I feel like someone is mad at me or ignoring me on purpose, I tend to dwell on it for long periods of time until either the person stops or I have moved on. I also tend to feel very bad when I see others upset or even cry. I tend to cry as well when feeling very depressed and also for some reason, at the end of each school year at college, I get very depressed about having to leave and move back home. I attend graduation every year and even if I don't really know those who are graduating very well or if I am not graduating, it still makes me feel emotional or depressed a little bit just at the thought of me graduating in a year and a half. Yes, I look forward to being done with school, but losing people and moving is what gets me. I feel like I am feeling these emotions more strongly than the average person and don't know why. I don't make a scene though when I feel this way, I hid it abit and only a select few know this about me. I tend to worry a lot about how others think of me as well.

I am the same way with lots of emotions. I have been called too sensitive. I deal with depression, anxiety, ADD, etc. Everyday coping is hard. Waking up and immediately having panic and depression is depressing. I try not to think about how negative I feel. I just do what I have to do. The less I dwell on myself, the better.

Same here, I tend to react to everything with some kind of emotional response, like I can easily become saddened if I see someone else upset or something like that.

Hi 15LRC - I have been the same way my whole life. It sounds like you think that feeling the way you do is a bad thing or somehow its wrong to feel that way. You know what - those are perfectly normal feelings and emotions. Some of us are more sensitive than others. Its really good that you are in touch w/your feelings as many people are not. Your sensitivity to others give you a sense of compassion that other people don't have. You have a gift. Its called mercy. Try and embrace it. Crying is not a bad thing at all. I have cried a lot in my life and I am better for it. Those emotions like at the end of the school year are perfectly normal !! Its ok to feel that way. I would encourage you to work on resolving those conflicts more quickly going forward. I know its not fun confronting someone if you think they are mad at you but it will help you in relationships in the long run. It will help you not to dwell on things if you work on resolving whatever the issue is. Embrace yourself for who you are ! Compassion and feeling for other people are so much needed in our society. So many people only think about themselves. Our sensitivity is a gift. Sometimes it doesn't seem like it but it is. Many people are dead inside and feel nothing and wish they could feel something. Don't be hard on yourself. Learn to love and accept yourself for who you are. So many people want to be different than who they are. You were made that way for a reason and a purpose. There is a plan for your life ! Thanks for sharing part of your story here !
