They called me sensitive but I can't help it. I easily got affected of what other people might going to think of me.Sometimes I realized I'm already paranoid of the feedback I might going to hear from them.But good thing my friends keep on comforting me and help me ponder things like why should I care about them in fact they don't even help me a penny to makes me who I am right now.
In conclusion my emotions are really weak,How about you? One good evidence is that when I watch movies, I easily cried!

Ohhhh why are you too sensitive? Was it bout about byuntoward experience? I am not too sensitive these days, maybe I have outgrown this over the past years. Now I will just smile to people who puts me down. Why would I care if they don't?i am just so quiet over matters and leave everything to Karma. I live in a country where I don't understand their language. I have a co worker who I know and I feel put malicious thoughts about me,since I AM a foreigner. She often tell something inn their language malicious I know I can read her gin. I don't mind. I don't care. I know myself more than she knows me. I am built as a person and I know what my limitations and weaknesses are. I know my capabilities and my abilities. HMp! Some people are not happy without them putting someone down.

You are right. She should be thinking like that to avoid getting depressed. Good comment.

Oh, don't mind those people telling you're sensitive. But if you could make yourself less sensitive, it's much more better. I'm usually tough but there are times that I'm also being emotional. LOL. If I have a big problem, that's the time when I tend to become emotional. I sometimes cry. LOL. But after crying, I feel much better and I tell myself to move on and make all possible solutions to my problem. LOL. Thanks for sharing and happy myLotting.

Eventually, you'll be able to overcome that. I guess some time in our lives, we feel emotionally unstable. We'll learn from all the things we are undergoing so we're learning little by little. We'll master controlling our emotions someday. :)

There are so many things that make me cry it's unbelievable. Even though I take meds to keep from getting depressed I cry when I hear Christmas Carols (thank God that's all done with), parades make me cry...lol...I don't know why, a lot of movies make me cry there are too many to name. I don't think it's a sign of weakness but a lot of people are just very sensitive to things other people are not. It's good to have friends to comfort you.

I cry a lot too, and sometimes I think it's a good thing. After I cry, I feel like a lot of emotions have been released, and although it's not always better, I feel more in touch with my humanity.
What's interesting is when people who don't normally cry get to cry at a movie. I can count on my hand the number of times that my father has cried, but yesterday he took our family to see Les Miserables and everyone in the family cried (probably the theater too, but I didn't check!) I'm glad that he was able to get so emotionally involved and find some release.

We are almost the same. I usually think about what other people has to say to me too. Some of my friends and even my mom would tell me that I shouldn;t care as long as I know I am not doing anything bad or stepping on other people's shoe then there is nothing to worry about. I became very paranoid before. Now I am trying to be as strong as possible.

as much as i really would like to comment on your discussion about the real topic of you being so "sensitive", i would rather not, i might say something which would make you cry, so i would rather greet you a merry Christmas and advance happy new year instead...." MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR"

Hi daisy,
No bother people who doesn't appreciate you, no matter how hard you work is for own good, these are people trying to make your life miserable. So sad the reality is there are these people around.

You're not emotionally unstable. You can't even call yourself weak at all. Like you i easily get affected by what people say about me, but only for a short time and then i move on with my life and stay happy. For me it's a sign of insecurity why i get affected, that's why i don't dwell on that too much because i don't want to be insecure. Over the years i've learned to gain confidence with my physical appearance and inner self.

I don't think crying is a weakness. I don't think someone who cries because of sad movies is weak, because that only meant this person was able to understand and empathize with the characters' feelings in that movie.
But indeed, I see it as not a very good thing to be always affected by other people's opinions. We can't let others take control over us like that. We have to stand up for what we believe in and do the right thing always, that way, other people's thoughts won't matter.
There's a saying that goes:
What other people think of you, is not your business.
So forget about what they are thinking and focus on yourself.

I wouldn't say i'm extremely sensitive to the point that I cry very easily. I am the type of person that holds things in and I will usually just kind of breakdown and have a good cry to get it all out. I do worry about what people say but I try not to really let it affect me and jut surround myself with people that accept me for just being me. I kind of look at like you can't please everyone all you can do is try to live your life how you want it to.

Your are not emotionally unstable. You just let your emotions flow out. But remember don't show your feelings (any feelings like anger, happiness, sadness) to someone who is not worth it. That is where your friends told you, don't care about folks. Remember care if that person is really worth for you and your feelings. Remember be happy and keep smiling.

I read an article recently about something called "Highly Sensitive People" if you want to check it out: http://www.webmd.com/balance/features/are-you-too-sensitive
It is really hard sometimes...this is something that I deal with from time to time, but thankfully it is not a permanent state for me. Do you find yourself interpreting what people say to be negative? Sometimes I will have a conversation with someone and there is nothing negative, but when they leave, I think that they are probably judging me about something. It turns out that it is just my low self esteem making me paranoid. Writing down my thoughts and asking my friends and family about what I think they are judging me for helps sometimes.
Hope you can find some ways to deal with this. Hugs to you!

To me, you're not emotionally unstable. Most women are easily moved by their environment, by circumstances around them. Your mind is just letting you get involved with what you are into. Like when you watch movies, it may be a good sign that you really understood and internalized what you're watching by eliciting the emotion being depicted on the story.

Yes we should not care about them.Even I am also very very sensitive and react in very small things. Many times I have seen people around us deliberately try to irritate us by saying something which is really unbearable.Everytime I try not to give emphasis on them and make a move on my way but I lose control over my temper and emotion.Same thing happen to me also as I can't control my tears watching an emotional movie.

I am also a very sensitive and emotional person... What I am going to tell you is this...It's a good thing! People always think the worst about being this way but it is a great thing. You can connect to most people and help with most problems because you actually care to help! People that are not emotional or sensitive don't care to help others (most of them anyway) or try to understand other's problems in life.
You have a good heart and there is nothing wrong with that at all! I think its a good thing and I am proud of who I am and the good heart that I have no matter what anyone else thinks or says about me! Be happy of who you are! =)

Why is it called emtionally unstable? From your story it seems very stable to me. Like it's not going up and down. It means you feel a lot, also when it concernes others. For me, that makes you a beautiful person!
