| I have problems with my emotions. I am too sensitive. It has been always like that. People around me say that it is very hard to talk with me because they never know will they say something that will hurt me. It is starting to be a burden to me and people close to me. What can I do to stop this overemotional problem? |

| It is good that you have recognized and face your problem. I am a student of psychology. You should try to focus when you are talking with someone. If it is somebody who is close to you then try to relax and to trust him. Not everyone is against you. You should put yourself on the place of person you are talking to. Try their perspective. Then you will be able to understand why they have told you something that you may find offensive. It is small thing but it is beginning. You can try to find professional help if you fell you need it. |

| neron is giving you some good advice. everyone needs help sometimes, so if this is something that you need help with, please don't hesitate to ask for it. one of the big problems of being overemotional is what you just described: it can cause a lot of stress for the people around you. when your own feelings are overwhelming, it is practically impossible for you to be able to deal with the needs of your loved ones. What can happen then is that you end up being insensitive to the people that you rely on the most, and eventually they simply get worn out and won't be able to be there for you. it's not their fault and it's not your fault, it just happens that way if you don't let yourself get the help you need. there has to be a reason for your strong emotions, and you owe it to yourself to figure out what that is. maybe a counselor or psychologist or doctor can help you find some answers and help you come up with ways to deal with your feelings |

| I know how you feel. I have had the same issue for as long as I can remember. I have been told by some people that they feel like they are walking on eggshells around me because they don't want to say something wrong. I've tried to not let it show, but it is just me, its how I am. And now that I am older in life, I have simply accepted that fact. I'm not going to change who I am inside for someone else. And I never have done that, thankfully. I think the key is to accept yourself for who you are and if other people have this problem with you, then it is their problem, and not yours. You cannot please all the people, all of the time. And its simply not worth trying to do that either. You will just make yourself unhappy in the process. |
