Do emotional people annoy you or not?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's a good observation. No one on here is wrong btw. It's just that we all have different ways of expressing ourselves. As long as you're not acting in a way that is not offensive, or inappropriate to others on purpose, then how you deal with your emotions is your business.

-------------------------------------------------
That's true. Plus, it'll make you seem flaky and crazy to most people who aren't the same way.

@Divine & Wandering Soul, OK, you both made valid points, how about you both just agree to disagree? Divine already said that. You both have different points of views, and neither of you is wrong. Just move on.

it is for me too the little things that bother me most. i've even been through alot and still cant handle when things go wrong in the kitchen, plumbing etc. i just get anxious but usually don't cry.

It's not about agreement or disagreement. I would've stopped a long time ago if she wasn't condescending in her views. That's the only issue. She mentioned to agree not to agree, but with an implication that I'm wrong and naive and she is right by repeatedly asking (in a way not intended to elicit answers, obviously) what is the basis of my views, even though I provided many several times. That's why I didn't stop at that post. If I have a different point of view and she doesn't like it, she can just ignore it. It's true for anyone else. That's it. But to attack my views as invalid, then I have the right to defend them.

I disagree with what you said. Showing emotion is not always a sign of weakness. And I'm sure that you know that by harming yourself instead of dealing with whatever is bothering you is not healthy at all. I hope that you get the help that you need.

I see what you mean. I tend to feel the same way about people. I'm OK with being supportive of people when they need me usually. Unless it's about some stupid issue, then it gets to be annoying. This one time a former friend called me late at night and she freaked out about a guy not texting her back. They weren't even dating, so wth?

Also, she'd act like her high blood pressure was as bad as having a terminal disease. It's like, calm the hell down, it's not exactly life threatening! Ugh! She was a real drama queen, so I couldn't deal with her after awhile. I tried to be paitient, but yeah, some overly emotional people like her are to much to deal with on a constant basis.

Oh this thread has gotten long since I last checked!
Talking about emotions and the how-tos usually gets the discussion going. It is a very sensitive intersection of the inside and the outside in my opinion: How do i present what is inside me to the outer world and still stay my true self? And how can the others accept my truth without giving up on their own? That's the root of all conflict, but maybe also the key to acceptance.

For me I view this as being quite broad to describe someone as 'emotional' - I think it depends on many things, the whole person, the circumstance, and whether it's genuine or not.

Broadly speaking it doesn't bother me whether someone expresses their emotions more readily than others, several of my friends are like this although I myself am more reserved. When it has bothered me is the few occasions when someone has used emotional displays to manipulate others, but that is quite separate from being just a more readily emotional person.

You have a point there. That's good that emotional people don't really bother you with their emotions. It sucks to be emotional at times. I wish that I could control my emotions more and not get as easily upset and anxious about things as often as I do. I can't deal with stress well sometimes. I get easily overwhelmed. I try to control myself, but I can't always control my reactions to stress and how easily hurt I can get if someone is rude or mean to me.

Well said.
