how do i get not so over emotional? i cry soo easily and its really embarrasing and i hate it i hate it a lot because people will think im weak and i want to be stronger than that. i overthink situations and i end up hurting myself. i really want to be an overall tougher person but its really difficult when the world seems to be trying to do anything possible to tear me down
i honestly don’t know bb, i’m exactly the same. i think it helps as you grow older… when i was younger i was very emotional and sensitive, and i think as you have start to have more experiences and learn to read people better, it becomes easier to know how to approach and understand situations so that they don’t affect you so deeply? also, it’s so important knowing the people you can be vulnerable around and the people you can’t - some will make you feel worse about your feelings, but others will support and understand you. i don’t think crying easily means you’re weak at all (i cry a lot as well tbh!), i think it just means that you’re in touch with your emotions - as cheesy as it sounds! you deeply care about things, which can be both a blessing and a curse, but i think that’s the best way to figure out how to be your best self - finding out what is worth caring about, and what isn’t. it can be very hard to be optimistic sometimes when everything seems to be going badly, but making it through all the horrible stuff is what makes the good stuff so much better. try to look for the light at the end of the tunnel! just knowing that it’s going to get better someday is far more encouraging than you might think :) <333
