help with emotions.
Im a very emotional person. If I get yelled at or am around any negativity I tend to shut down or cry. I usually tend to be very happy. But can also come off very dramatic. Every little thing that happens tends to be a crisis for me as I get upset so easily. I am looking for some tips to help me control my emotions better. So that I don't always come off as a crazy dramatic psycho...

Sensitivity can get the best of us sometimes. There are a few things that can help. First, don't take your emotional reactions at face value because usually it's something deeper that is affecting you. A lot of times it has to do with our past. When you feel an overwhelming emotion coming on, try to meditate and explore your feelings. Does it remind you of something from your past or does is have to do with something bigger that is bothering you? Next, when you feel that overwhelming anger or sadness, take a deep breath and stop yourself before you react. Maybe take a walk or just try to collect yourself before you do or say something youre gonna regret. Let your feelings settle so you can avoid having to do damage control later. Also try to remember not everything is about you ..and I dont mean that to be offensive. I only mean that when youre sensitive, sometimes you perceive others emotions or actions are the result of something you did to them. But in reality those people arent even thinking about you..theyre thinking about theyre own issues. Also, try not to take on too much. A lot of times when youre sensitive you feel the pain of others or stuff that has nothin to do with you. Try to realize that you cannot save the world and you have to only worry about you first. When you take on other peoples problems it can add too much stress for you to handle. Being sensitive is not a bad thing at all. It means you are very compassionate. Dont be ashamed of the way you feel. Just try to recognize why you feel the way you feel so you can conquer it :)
