So would you be less worried if you had a title to describe it? Is that what you are saying?
I am not a professional. But as a person who as a teen was much the same, there's no label I gave it, but it was simply having emotional responses when it was something that was directed at me. Didn't cry at goodbyes or sad movies.
Since you do cry or get upset under certain conditions, you don't suffer from a disorder where a person lacks any feelings or emotions at all.
If you need an official name for it, then go see a mental health doctor. But I don't think this is something serious to worry about unless it is disrupting your ability to do your daily tasks and commitments in life. I changed over time and became more emotionally sensitive in a wider range of situations. I can cry at sad movies and stories, sometimes when having to say goodbye, especially if I know i wont see the person for a long time. We are still growing, especially our brain until at least age 25, maybe up to or into 30s for some. So there is a lot a chance for you to change and grow and your emotional behaviour change by then.
If you cry when alone for no reason, then yes, go see a doctor...cus it may be depression or your female hormones too high or too low. thats all easily corrected.
If you cry if someone yell or is mean to you, that is understandable, Who isn't affected be that? Most people are. I have learned to not take things personally, or give any heed to what people say to me or about me that I know are not true. They are entitled to their twisted logic or reason for their behavior. I might still cry occasionally if I having a frustrating day but not over what people say to me or how they treat me. I have learned to exclude people like that in my life.
A person may cry out of frustration over not knowing how to respond any other way. Perhaps if you read some books on how to handle a difficult or angry person, that could help in that one area.
Like I said, we're not professionals. All we can do is share from our own life, makes guesses but most important, point you toward seeing a professional if this is disrupting your life.
