I get tears in my eyes even with small emotional issues... but I face big emotional problems easily. Am I OK?

Question

I get overwhelvemed with joy or sorrow even with small events. For example, I may have tears while reading a beautiful poetry or a story (not necessarily sad ... just by seeing the use of perfect words at perfect places). I get tears if I see someone suffering... I get tears when someone leaves me.
But I can manage to stay firm or even smile under strong emotional issues. For example, some 20 yrs back when I was in my early teens my grandfather (whom I love a lot) passed away I just thought... can I smile? (a strange self talk) and I did smile. In fact I did not cry at all.
Am I OK??

Answer 1

You are a very sensitive person. That is ok. Any girl would love a sensitive person. As for your Grandmother she was probably with you and telling you that she was in a better place. If she was in pain then I would have been grateful that she was no longer in pain. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Answer 2

I am the same way, when I leave for a trip for 2 days and I say goodbye to my mom I get kind sad and teary eyed. When I see something really sad in a movie, or happy, I get teary eyed. But with big things I am okay with. We are just sensitive to the little things in life my friend. You are perfectly okay, you have nothing to worry about.

Answer 3

Of course you are okay. Your just human. Different people express emotion in different ways. We cant all be the strong silent type. Your sensitive....and dude....that's OK. Intelligent people have a harder time masking their emotions. There is nothing wrong with expressing those emotions. Poetry, movies, sunsets, all those things were designed to invoke feelings.

Answer 4

We can't understand the way the heart works in these situations. My mother was never able to cry at funerals of close friends and relatives, but 2 weeks later she would be crying her eyes out about it. I tend to cry easily when I witness unconditional or sacrificial love being expressed, but I can go through tough times for myself without shedding a tear. We are all just made differently. You are just you, it's your makeup.

Ha, i spotted that too. i exchange into the only guy who exchange into crying so no longer common to boot Ric flair. consistent with hazard because of the fact he has a loving heart. yet whats up! Did absolutely everyone see Randy Orton cry on Monday whilst all of them got here out? Randy exchange into whiping his eyes. And do you notice Batista exchange into donning solar colorings so it could conceal his eyes. Batista continuously positioned on solar glasses whilst somthing is gloomy like what happend on uncooked.

You're sensitive and that's wonderful! After many years of sensitivity, I have learned to not cry as much. Or maybe my heart is hardened. You are A-OK!!!

Everyone shows emotions differently. I think you are fine and it is so cute that you can appreciate poetry. You are ok don't worry about it.
