How can I control my emotions? I am too sensitive.

Typicallly this is why people go into therapy.

Find someone who appreciates you the way you are. Trying to be other than you are never works. It’s exhausting. That being said, therapy helps everyone. I highly recommend it. You aren’t the only person who has wept over the weather. I have cried at a beautiful sunrise. Some of our most beloved artists feel very deeply and were considered “too sensitive.” “Too sensitive” is also something that insensitive bullies say when they get called out after hurting someone’s feelings. Sometimes it’s just not about you, rather its the people around you.

Love is difficult. Lots if men in our society are socialized to be “insensitive.” So it’s a rare man who understands and appreciates sensitivity in a partner. They are out there, if you are willing to look, and willing to nit settle for less than someone who adores you—just as you are.

I’m not sure falling in ‘love’ easily is all about love or being sensitive. There could be a myriad of reasons as to why you are allowing your self to be vulnerable so quickly, there could a a ton of reasons why you cry at a sunset. (I suffer depression and I cry over adverts).

Therapy is the solution since there you can find out about what is making you feel so vulnerable right now I guess behavior modification and insight will help.

Or, stay as you are I wish there were more people with hearts around.

You might be depressed if you cry easily.

Men tend to not be as “sensitive” as women. They get less caught up in details of personal relationships and don’t spend much time on the little things. They tend to simplify and move forward.

Being in an environment that encourages self-expression will assist in controlling your emotions. I feel that human beings will only react to a circumstance if someone or something involved triggers an internal impulse which causes loss of control. There’s no stupidity of loving someone as I feel that love is a paradigm that encourages growth and maturation.

Feeling that way about the world around you is awesome! I understand why you would want to tame those feelings about a person, though, if they are not right for you.

I’m not sure how old you are, but from your posts it sounds like you are younger? Like maybe still in school? Part of it is just being that age, and it naturally slows down as you get older.

But the sense of wonder (crying because something is beautiful) is something to hang on to! Not everyone sees the world that way. To a lot of people, it’s just, “oh, a sunset. Pretty.”

Spending lots of time with friends and family is a great antidote to a runaway crush. Same for spending time on something that gives you a sense of purpose- whether it’s a hobby, volunteering, learning a new language, etc. Whatever you really care about.

It also helps to channel your feelings into something creative! You could read, write, make music, etc. This feeling is where a lot of art comes from.

In the case you refer to, where you got head over heels with the guy (details on the other thread), your emotions ran away with you because you didn’t use logic. Not that logic comes into play in all emotional scenarios, but in this case the guy told you what you wanted, yet you thought it would be something more. Next time, if there is a next time, remind yourself what this person told you. Ask yourself why what is unfolding (the 3 week relationship where you fell head over heels) should be or might be anything other than what he told you it would be (casual sex). Maybe re-thinking things next time will make you not even want to get involved in the first place. Maybe you’ll realize that knowing you may get attached prematurely (what others may describe as “clingy”) should make you re-think even starting up at all.

Relevant to this discussion: @fuglyduckling‘s recent question:

Please check out this website.

Most of the above advice will make you feel worse, not better. You are not a nutcase. You’re just fine. You’re not alone, and you’re not weird, and you’re not inferior. The website suggested by @tedibear is a good one, and you might also want to read a book called QUIET bySusan Cain, about introverts. Introversion is not a disease or a disorder; it’s an orientation like sexual orientation that comes with the package of who you are. Talking to a shrink for a long time will not turn you into someone who’s less affected by the world around you.
So do your research, find out more about your temperament; enjoy knowing you’re specialized (assholes and bullies are specialized too…).
And meanwhile, try this: Paint one fingernail a color that’s different from the others. I don’t paint my nails as a rule but I painted one of them pink for awhile in order to get the benefit. Attach a mantra to that symbol. Mine was “No one can hurt me.” You’ll know what yours should be – something that reminds you that you can deal when you’d like to run away (including the permission to run away some of the time). Every time you look at that nail, you’ll teach yourself this lesson that you want to learn. Do it for a few months. The repetition keeps you stable. I know this sounds like nothing much, but it’s the basis of emotional learning: repeat, repeat, repeat.
Do NOT tell yourself you’re “too sensitive”. You’re exactly sensitive enough, and many good things will come from that. They often have before now.
You can see I feel very passionately about this. I want you to keep your beauty rather than learning to suppress it. Protect it. It’s golden.
