Are you emotional?

[LadyTrinity]

I am an emotional person.
When someone puts me down about my skills I might cry or get really mad I will fight.
I can't help but be emotional. I have always been. I find that unlike some other people I cant shrug off annoyance and stress gets to me easier than others. Anyone else this way? :raining:

[lythadancer]

i guess I am emotional yet when i need to be strong and/or silent I can

[OceanMyst]

Certain things that make everyone very emotional do nothing for me, and others that nobody really cares about really get to me. I'll get teary looking at the Deleware SPCA newsletter and I see a cat who looks like mine or when I go to a retirement home or when I hear a song on the radio that reminds me of something. I used to be very insecure and when someone would put me down and I would get very depressed and feel sorry for myself. But I've learned to deal with this kind of stress a lot better and learned not to get so emotional about stuff like that.

[LadyTrinity]

:uhhuhuh:

[Tsuchimaru]

Not really. I hate my emotions....

[Infinite Muse]

emotional: yes .. but usually the downside of emotions gets me far easier than the upside of emotions
maybe i can't express happiness or positiveness, i don't know
or maybe i'm just not happy so can't express it?

[Flaire-FireStar]

I didn't vote, mainly because it's only certain things that I get emotional about. And those things usually send me into fits of blind rage or intense jealousy. *shrugs*

[docdoo]

Heh, my idea of perfection is a state of no emotion...does that answer your question? :crown:

[Terestai]

I cried for nearly three hours last night because two insects that I shared a connection with were both killed. Is that emotional enough? :wah:

[Erebus]

Um... Terestai.... that's... um....

....um.....

....yeah. Get help.
:2G:

[Radocs]

No.

[punxzen]

:meanface: if you are talking about this kind of :bangyourh emotion, then yes, :damnpc: , i am emotional. if you only mean teary eyed emotional, then no, im not very emotional.

[Terestai]

Um... Terestai.... that's... um....

....um.....

....yeah. Get help.
:2G:

It's true though... long story, but I was seriously drained from some crap that my friends pulled on Friday night. So yesterday, I tried to make a connection to the natural world. It just so happened that I made a connection with this magnificent black beetle, who ended up getting killed about ten minutes later when it was accidentally stepped on. The second time was in the backyard at my dad's house. There was a grasshopper that was sitting next to me as I watched a baby robin. My 19-year old sister (diagnosed schizophrenic) came bouncing out, caught the grasshopper, then ripped the legs off and gave it to a spider she's keeping in a jar.

I really needed those connections, and to lose both of them like that was crushing...

[punxzen]

Um... Terestai.... that's... um....

....yeah. Get help.
:2G:
...so capricornian.

I hate seeing creatures die....

[carmenmaria]

I think that I'm too emotional. Mostly I don't get mad, but sad... and way too easily. I started crying in public when I found out I couldn't get into AP Government... but then i think that made the counselor feel sympathetic, and I ended up getting into the class :bigredblu

[HorseCrow]

Yes, I'm very emotional- but I'm also capable of keeping my emotions in check. Otherwise i could not be a midwife. My job holds such joys and such sorrows that I could not do it with out my emotions and without the ability to control them.

[The High Queen of Faerie]

i am, more than i should be :p

[Arinya]

Emotional? Yup. I get insanely jealous because of some silly things and cry at the drop of the hat if that hat was one I particarly liked. However, I've become less outwardly emotional with the help of a voiding meditation that can be done anytime anywhere. Truely rather helpful.

[Holly Ariadna]

I'm emotional too..

[Holly Ariadna]

I cried for nearly three hours last night because two insects that I shared a connection with were both killed. Is that emotional enough? :wah:

LOL no, that's creepy! :nyah:

[Bainidhe Dub]

Actually.... very few things get me "emotional" like you mean. I always laugh things off - or get ticked. I rarely shed tears, even though I might be "sad".

[FaerieGothMommy]

I'm probably one of the most emotional people you could meet, i can cry at the drop of a hat!
I'm sure my poor boyfriend feels like he is walking on egg shells most the time, he is always careful with what he says, because i get very easily offended & then my mind tells me everyone hates me, and i cry...
It's actually quite annoying sometimes, but i guess my emotional side is what makes me think of others.

[NivekDrgnMage]

:wave: Me me over here. I am very much so...

[Xentor]

Heh, my idea of perfection is a state of no emotion...does that answer your question? :crown:

I've lived free of emotions for a decade. It's nice and quiet, and sure was good for me the first couple of years. But I found something lacking and it took me another decade to rebuild my emotions.

Knowing both sides, living with and without emotions, I prefer to emote.

[Jenne]

Yeah, I wear my heart on BOTH sleeves. Don't hide my emotions very well...but I learn as I get older to control them better. I just wish people didn't EXPECT me to not have emotions, because I am so much in control of them. Sucks ass when I'm hurt, feeling betrayed, or just want to laugh my butt off. It's like I've grown two heads or something! :confused:

[AuroraSilvermist]

I cry easily when something touches me; regardless of whether it's sad or just beautiful. I try VERY hard NOT to cry when I'm arguing about something I feel passionately about, but I'll be damned if I'm ever successful. My good friend and I would get into heated discussions, and he'd say, "Please, don't cry..." before the first sniffle because he knew I would. It's something I both love and hate about myself. It's wonderful being passionate and sensitive, but I hate wearing my emotions on my sleeve.

[soilsigh aingeal]

Most times I am but it really depends on what the issue is and who the person is.

[moonchild]

I'm a cancerian thru and thru....

emotional? me? never!!! (insert sarcasm here) :hehehehe:

[Khuinaset]

I try VERY hard NOT to cry when I'm arguing about something I feel passionately about, but I'll be damned if I'm ever successful.

Ugh, I do that too! It drives me insane...when I get very mad(which happens pretty easily in arguments with people around here), I start to tear up, and it annoys me so much, because the other person is sitting there thinking they insulted me enough to make me cry when I'm wanting to jump across the table and strangle them or something :p In case you hadn't guessed, I'm pretty emotional- it's pretty hard to make me cry from physical pain but really easy to make me cry from emotional stuff, I get irritated/annoyed/mad without too much effort, etc.

[WrathofCirce]

I'm usually not very emotional except during pms... then all bets are off. I've been known to cry hysterically at commercials, in malls because I didn't see anything I wanted to purchase, and all ridiculous reasons in between. My last relationship ended when my bf couldn't take my pms mood swings. Honestly, it wasn't even that bad. He was just looking for easy and when I was going through pms (I'd been warning him for weeks)things were not easy. Those three days changed the whole course of my relationship.

Me too

[DonovanJoseph]

i tend to channel peoples emotions easily which, over the years has made me prone to get very emotional over the smallest things

[WickedBttrfly]

I'm emotional sometimes. Usually about things other people dont care about. I really hate crying though. When I'm sad I dont cry, but make me mad or frustrated enough and I will and then I'll get even angrier. It's really embarassing, cause other people are looking at you and thinking what the hell is her problem?? lol.

[Crystal_Raye]

*crying* I'm not emotional, bleep-it!

just kinding

[{Tigress}]

Yes, I'm very emotional, and hope I never change. Sure, I cry harder and more often than most, but I also laugh louder and longer. And above all, I can find TRUE JOY in many things that most would find mundane and dull.

[Semele]

Label me rhapsodic.

[Boogins]

Are you kidding? I'm an acute rapid-cycling manic-depressive. :boing:

[Tarbh Nathroch]

I’m not emotional at all. I’ve lost girlfriends because I don’t argue. I don’t yell, throw fits or act angry in any way. So, they would think if I don’t get angry I don’t care, which is not true. I just don’t waste my time with the freak out. I just go about doing something to fix it. My wife, who I guess must like that I always seem calm and collected on the outside, was disappointed in my reaction to her “I’m pregnant” announcement. Our Daughter was thought about, planed for and gotten. So when she told me. All she got was a “cool” and a hug. I also don’t share my feelings. I communicate when I like or don’t like something but that’s about it. My daughter is bringing me out of it though. I react a lot to her.

[Xentor]

I've been a lot like that. I too, have lost a love because of my lack of emotional communication. There are ways out of it... if you want to. It took me a long time to convince myself that I wanted to.

[banondraig]

not emotional really, but i do have something of a bad temper.

[Fianna]

If mean and moody, super sensitive, crybaby, volcano erupting, are words used by others to describe someone who has a penchant for a little emotiuonal behaviour now and then - er I just very well may be.

[pawnman]

I am not emotional 90% of the time. I can shrug off the day-to-day stuff. My problem is, I seem to store that day-to-day stuff and let it all out at once, usually at something inconsequential.

[Mab]

"are you emotional?"

are you kidding? I don't think they come more emotional than me.

[Aldrick]

For myself, not usually. I usually push my-own emotions aside so that I can better deal with the emotions of others.

As I child I never cried, I never really FELT much, I was always the strong one for my family and everyone else...
Then I started exploding into rages because of all of my own emotions I was bottling up, and that was around the time I got together with my ex-fiance.
MoonAnu; She taught me what love was, she showed me that I could feel my own emotions rather then fear them. She taught me alot in our time together.

Now...I'm not over-emotional, but I no-longer bottle things up to the point where I'll freak out and rock in a corner by myself. Lol

[Dove]

OhhhhhhMyGawwwwwwwd …. Emotional … Me???

Through the years … I’ve finally accepted the fact … (according to the standards of those around me) … that I’m irrationally Over Emotional!!
But I'm truly an extremist in that I burn white hot, or cold as ice.

I’ve learned that the easiest solution, is to simply apologize for feeling hurt.

[Annest]

I used to be very emotional as a child, but I was told that it was wrong.I had to learn to hold it back. So as an adult I still have some problems with showing my emotions.I almost never cry,I keep my emotions kept inside.And I can tell you that it isn´t healthy.I would much rather let it out,instead of holding back my feelings.Cause if you keep your emotions locked up, sooner or later they will eat you from inside.
I´ve been trying to change this for some time, but I still have a long way to go.

I understand that one completely! I was raised thinking that my emotions were bad. I think of all the things turning Pagan helped me with, coming to grips with my emotions was the biggest. When I first found a group of Wiccan friends, back in my 20's, the one thing that really struck me was this concept of balance and more specifically that emotions had a place in that balance.

Keep at it! You'll get where you need to be eventually. :)

[Nishtha]

I'm very emotional. I can handle critisizm well, but the moment you start to yell at me I will break down into tears. Also, if someone is yelling/fighting with someone else I'll start crying, too. I lost my teddy bear about a week ago and was in hysterics until I found him wedged between my bed and my wall. I knew he was in my room, but I was still so worried about him I cried until I could hardly see out of my eyes. :foopsies: I'm not too good about death, either. Especially not animal deaths...

[mara]

I'm not sure..my husband says no, and my daughter says yes. I am easily wounded, but don't usually let it show...unless things pile up then the floodgates open. It really hurts my feelings when someone doesn't like me, even if it's someone I don't like. I don't like a lot of drama..I think that's why my husband doesn't think I'm emotional..both of us sit and cry at movies and over sad stories..so I would say yes, but not overly so.

[WynterWynd]

I guess you'd call me emotional........I'm a screamer!:scream:

:p

[Laurelei]

I'm notoriously unemotional. Call me names? I either laugh or brush it off. Tell me I'm a failure? It all washes over me. Tell me I'm an evil nasty manipulative person? I'll almost take it as a compliment.

The only thing I can think of right now that stirs up extreme emotions in me is someone taking advantage of someone elses trust or naivete. The film Edward Scissorhands had me sobbing my heart out.

[IBELIEVEINMAGIC]

Yeah, i am a very emotional person. I get my feelings hurt really easily and when i do, it feels like the end of the world.

[WinterTree]

I can have a bit of an emotional streak.......I'm a big softy.

[Avalonia]

Let me see - I overreact, can cry at the drop of a hat, have a fly-off-the-handle temper, and I get easily depressed, in which I can stay for days. Yeah, I think that counts as emotional - probably overemotional is more accurate.

[WinterTree]

The only thing I can think of right now that stirs up extreme emotions in me is someone taking advantage of someone elses trust or naivete. The film Edward Scissorhands had me sobbing my heart out.

Oh I know. :( And that part where he's trying to save that little boy and he ends up cutting the kid's face because of his scissor hands. I just about died.....:wah:

[sincerebliss]

I am a very sensitive person. My feelings get hurt on the simplest things, though, I try not to show it. I can't expect everyone to say pleasing things to me..That's not possible?! People are going to say mean things and feelings are going to get hurt. It's all about how a person takes in what is said. People hide their feelings and never express it and many have emotional outbursts. I think it is mostly centered around self-esteem.....

[Mysticism Deity]

Yes I am. It got worse after having my kids.

[ravynbynorthwynd]

well...beaing as i AM a natural redhead.....

[FroggieThePunk]

I'm emotional, but useually I have eough control over myself that I can keep any and all of my feelings in check. But I cannot control love, though I've learned to hide it from the person I care for, but not anyone else. Also my anger is fairly hard to control most of the time. But I try, and I work at it when I can.

[rain_fallen_tears]

I voted yes.....and to the point of no return.:)

[Sephiroth]

im a very emotional person, ill get very sad after fights brake ups andything upseting very very easily.. but i do have my sperts to were i want to just kill ppl if the wrong thing is sed.

[WitchJezebel]

I voted yes. I'm emotional, but not overly so. I get angry like anyone else. I cry when I need to, but not over things that many other people would. Other than that I'm pretty detached.

[Bec_W]

At times I fall into the category of being "over emotional"

[midnightreflections]

I can keep my emotions in check at the time - but I do tend to get over emotional afterwards. But having said that its a 5 minute thing - I cry or whatever I need to do and then move on and its over and done with (although I'm better left alone and tend to get more worked up if sympathic people come near lol). So I probably have a fairly good balance - just my own way of dealing with it

[blueiris]

I'm a very emotional person, but I tend to hide my feelings - ie, cry in the shower so that no one can hear me. But yeah, I tend to 'think' with my emotions rather than logic.

[Dallin]

Yes, I'm emotional... I find this a good and bad thing, in exactly equal proportions. The highs are very high, the lows very low. I kinda think it's something approaching the symptoms of being bipolar, except that it was willingly and knowingly induced. If anyone's interested, I'd really like you to read a piece I posted here a while back which relates strongly to this: LINK (http://www.mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?t=55411)... it's one of those pieces that any input would be greatly appreciated.

[~Anamorata~]

Just ask anyone who has posted in several of the Music Threads...I've been so stressed lately, I could scream(and have done so several times!)...I've been a real joy to behold! :goodgrief :wah:

[Hellenic_Witch]

I am emotional. My husband has been known to think I am too emotional. But I'm not one to hide my feelings. What I feel is what I express. It is the only way I can live without exploding.

Also, when things upset me I have a tendency to dwell on the matter. Playing it over and over in my mind. Analyzing it from every angle. Until I can finally break it down into nothing. Then I can move on. I have learned not to fight it. I'ts just me. I feel and I feel deeply.

So, yeah, I'm emotional. In fact, I'm a little emotional right now.

[Mad Dame]

I can be very emotional at times but I can also extremely hard, cold, and thick skinned.

[Grey]

Those who know me find me highly emotional, one of the most emotional people they know in many cases. Those who arent close often think I have almost no emotion whatsoever. *shrug* self control.

[Moonstoned]

I am far too emotional. It is almost crippling some days. I thought it would get easier with age, but it seems to be getting worse. Maybe it's menopause *laughing*

[cartweel]

I see myself as emotional. I don't cry at movies, I don't get sick when I see corpses. I do, however, feel guilty, jealous, mad, annoyed, shy, stupidity, laughter, joy, gladness, and love.

*I* feel my emotions. Other people don't have to see it. I'm an introverted romantic.

[SylverStar]

I'm probably one of the most unemotional and aloof people have met. People always come to me with their problems because they think I have it together and am a rather strong person. That's pretty true from an outside prespective...actually it's pretty true from and inside prespective too, I guess. lol

[Fixx]

I'm VERY emotional, almost overly so. I have tears to accompany every mood.

~Fixx~

[Velvet]

Not really.

[Druchii]

Um... Terestai.... that's... um....

It means he has a big heart. One bigger than mine. Than most I have found.
I for one do have only one issue, anger management, which lashes out at morons ( not you Erebus, I think you are pretty cool ).

[kiara]

Not really. I like to compare myself with the ocean--especially since I'm a water sign all over. I'm calm on the top, not too many things bother me, but my currents run deep. I just don't show a lot of surface emotions, that doesn't mean emotions aren't there (and in some cases they aren't), they just don't show, even to me sometimes. I hope that makes sense.

[Aedrais]

I am *so* emotional. I used to cry whenever my parents talked to me, because I thought I was in trouble. Confrontation makes me cry. Any situation used to make me cry, actually.

I don't cry as much now, unless something bad happens, but I'm still very much ruled by my emotions. When I get mad, I am bloody ANGRY, and then five minutes later I'll cool off and be fine. When I'm sad, I am absolutely depressed, and when I'm happy, I'm bouncy and hyper. And it changes hour by hour.

At least a don't hold a grudge, eh?

[Strawberry Bounce]

I have refused many conversations because I know I'm gonna cry.

[LadyPhineas]

I am an emotional person. I tend to have strong feelings and I am extreamly sensitive at times. I cry very easily...yet most say I am a strong individual. Ok...I cried when I heard Shinedowns song...45. I cry when i think about the two beautiful children i'm having. I also have anger outbreaks at times. I can feel my emotions so strongly...sometimes I wish I didn't...but it actually helps me understand myself.

Oh, I am also an empath...I can sense others emotions. So on top of my own...add those of others...and I am an emotional wreak sometimes.

[Desdemona]

I have refused many conversations because I know I'm gonna cry.You said it Strawberry.

Even seeing someone else cry, in real pain, makes me lose it.

[Noriohtle]

I have always had to be strength for others and now for the first time in my life i have friends that allow me to lean on them .. break down ... in general just be a nut case .. so i am wollowing in the ability to be emotional.

but if i get mad .. my emotions get all confused... i cry when im mad and scream when im sad. go figure maybe someday i will sort it out. or everyone else will just have to get used to me....

[Aleannah]

I have ALWAYS been very emotional...always been accused of being "too sensitive", that I had to "toughen up" ... but I always thought, why can't they be a little gentler? Anyway, it's a resounding YES!! :wave:

[Sommerfugl]

I'm not emotional...Infact...I get called the Ice Queen a lot....i think this proves it! :p

[Stormbeard]

You should never be able to see emotion, it's the mark of any good warrior

[HeavensHope]

I've been told by a few ex's that I'm not emotional enough...which is ironic...usually it's the girls that say that about the guys.

[Stormbeard]

I'm always being yelled at for being too cold

[Sadb]

I put down no , only because I can detach myself from people almost too easily . I only do this if I have been hurt by the person I no longer care about . And have been called inhuman for this trait . Other then that I'd say I'm about normal with my emotions . (whatever that may be )

[Stormbeard]

I can detach myself from people almost too easily . I only do this if I have been hurt by the person I no longer care about . And have been called inhuman for this trait.

I don't trust people at all.
