Who all on here is emotionally sensitive? Meaning things that don't bother other people make you cry or at least tear up. I don't remember when my emotional sensitivity started, I guess when my step dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor 7 years ago. I was young and it hit me hard. And recently it has gotten worse. For example I cry when I listen to some songs, just because I know what the person who wrote the song is feeling. Actually I'm tearing up now just typing this and thinking about it. Would a guy who cries easy be considered a faggot or a pussy? I don't want to be that guy that everyone thinks is a pussy because he cries listening to his iPod. Also I know most guys don't do it but I cry when I get dumped if I had strong feelings for the girl. I don't know why I made this thread but I'd like to hear your input and see if anyone else is as emotionally sensitive as me
Death, significant, deep losses, to the triumph and gratification of a long struggle finally being realized. Hard to explain, I guess a lot of powerful events.
Well see for me even the little stuff gets me. Like watching a video of a live performance I cry when the singer tells everyone to take their lighters and phones out so their drummer can see them from heaven. Just to see the love these thousands of people had for this one guy they all never personally knew
If somebody asks me "What's wrong?" I immediately burst into tears. Been like that my whole life, no idea why.
I would say I'm a sensitive person, but I'm very good at suppressing the emotions. And I don't intentionally suppress them, I just do. I can feel the pain and loss of others and I myself feel great sadness when someone close dies, or when I watch American History X's or Crisis Core's ending, but I cannot physically express it. I guess it dwells inside me until I explode. I exploded into rage the other day when I found out my router stopped working. It wasn't a big deal, but there have been events in my life the past year that I was trying to deal with and the router just made me snap at how difficult everything seems to be for me. Took one hell of a long time to make me snap though. Ecstasy addiction, discovering I have epilepsy (resulted in me losing my license for 6 months, prevents me from getting safety oriented jobs, like trades), my youngest cat got mauled and killed by my neighbor's dogs, unemployed for 7 months, not eligible for university (I'm not very academic, I'm more trades oriented.[See epilepsy]), my family has no faith or trust in me because of my past substance abuse, and to top it all off, I'm having some of the worst insomnia I've ever experienced. I'm prescribed benzos for it, but that's only temporary and I worry about becoming addicted. Takes quite a bit, that's for sure. After my explosion of rage (surprised I didn't break anything), I just broke down and cried for 2 hours straight. I was alright after that, but I'm finding my temper has been shortened considerably. Yep, I've got some extreme problems. If ANYBODY responds to this with their words of advice and helpfulness, I swear I'm going to come to your house and piss in your gas tank. I didn't ask for your fucking opinion, so can it!
Sensitive? Possibly, but every time I have an emotional problem I just tend to man up and move on. I like kittens though, does that count?
I think it's more of a face-to-face thing. The concern in their eyes makes me feel like there really is something wrong with me, I guess.
I'm weird, i am hard as a rock, but I have a very sensetive side. Deep down I'm really just sensetive
I'm emotionally sensitive. But not expressive about my sensitivity. It only comes out in my photography, my music, or if you squeeeeeze it out of me.
