    the thing about being a emotional person is our emotions are a lot more strong and it’s easy for us to cry which makes us seem really week but in our head we are saying “why are you crying your not even sad? tf..”
    but the upside to being emontial is when we are happy we are extremely happy which means small happiness is the same as being really happy. so a lot of times it hard to control our emotions but there is a lot of upsides and downside

      @veni5126 Před rokem +9

      When I cry, I am sad. But I often can't understand why something touched/hurt me so deeply. One small thing happens and it can make me feel down for days.
      Happy? Honestly I lately felt happy for the first time in many years, so I don't know. It was a surprise to me. Was it intense? I wouldn't say so. But it was uhm idk I'm slightly tearing up when thinking about this moment.
      I guess it kinda proves me wrong. I don't want to cry right now because I'm sad. I want to cry because I've lately felt happy and I kinda miss this feeling and that moment, but I am sad in a way, that this moment is gone.
      Does it even makes sense? 😅
      Also why do I often write so long messages? And why do I often end up telling half of my life story in yt comments?
      Getting back to the day I felt happy. I was just so glad, so comfortable, laughing so much with the people I was spending time that day. 8 hours passed like it's nothing

      I hope this helps some what. Tell me if I got it right or if I am totally off track.
      We are hypersensitive to others because its something we learned to do in our childhood - we hyperattuned to our caregiver(s) because they were not emotionally stable. We had to feel and predict their behaviour in order to avoid getting caught in all the negative emotions. As children we were hijacked into these situations with no power to set boundaries.
      So we are hypersensitive to other people's emotions as adults but mostly the negative ones. This drains us because we are trying be ready for ANYTHING and our nervous system overheats.
      Awareness is the first step towards improvement. Knowing that this is WHY I am being so affected by others. Just that alone will work wonders. However I'd like to add that as adults we can try consciously set boundaries and taking our own wellbeing as priority - for example, leave a situation if you want to without having to bend over backwards to justify it.

      Give yourself enough room to breathe and recharge. Don't avoid people, but allow yourself breaks.
      E.g., when you're at a party, allow yourself to do something quiet for a while (volunteer doing the dishes, man the bbq, find the house pet, walk around the block with your favourite person), or when you go on holiday with others plan in some alone time (afternoon naps, an independent exploration day - great when you have different interests, ...)

    For those that wants to read (I'm not forcing anyone to read so I put it in read more) :
    I just want to say , thank you all of you wonderful people.. all my life ever since I'm a kid , I can't find anyone to relate too , so I can't share what I feel , everytime I can only bottle up my feelings until it explode and then repeat.. always feel like I don't have anyone , but I'm glad there's so many of y'all that feel the same as me , finally I feel like I'm seen.. I'm an introvert , all my life I've struggled with socializing , always find it difficult , I also hate loud noises and crowded places make me feel dizzy and uncomfortable.. I've also struggled with all of these emotions that I didn't ask for , it's like these emotions stick to me and make me feel overwhelmed.. they're not my emotions , it's others.. for example , when I listen to music , often found myself feeling extremely sad , angry or overjoyed.. then later I get overwhelmed and drained out.. idk how to fix this.. I also have eating disorder , I eat when I feel stressed out.. I have anxiety from drinking coffee and socializing in college.. but I need coffee to stay awake.. apparently I choose a bad college , they doesn't seem to care about their students mental health.. assignments are rushed , so I feel even more overwhelmed.. cuz I'm the type to procrastinate and take my time to develop and make a good quality work.. the fact that I know everything wrong with me but I can't do anything to help myself.. all I can do is cry it out , at least that makes it more bearable..
    I'm not as privileged as other people , don't have money to afford a therapy , barely survive to eat in college and pay dorm rent , where I live , it's hard to find jobs , it's not like in America where u can get job from nearby grocery store or something like that.. jobs aren't plenty here.. also I can't make driving license or any driving license , I'm colorblind.. so I can't go out to find job.. my parents and family aren't rich.. so asking them money , I feel like a burden.. they're supporting me going to college already , so I can't ask for more.. I also can't quit college either ,since I've to pay thousands of money in 14 days.. that's the rule there.. and I've already sign the contract.. so I have to endure and continue studying and graduate degree , find a job and pay loans

    Dr Julie, why do we avoid going to sleep at night even when we want to and or we have lots to do the next day? For example I know I need to get rest but I will stay up and watch TV or CZcams videos for hours, almost as if I don't want tomorrow to come?

      For me, it was because night time is when everyone is away and will not bother you. This means no arguments, no parents scolding you, no bosses messaging you... That was "me" time. I could study without screaming in the background, I could watch TV without being interrupted...

    • @PearlRose0405
      @PearlRose0405 Před rokem +19

      Maybe you're a night owl person. Or you have mental health issues, which make your sleep schedule mess up.
      Usually people said we should stay away with phone and related to your works/tasks (don't forget to avoid heavy meals) for a few minutes or hours to get good enough sleep but.. Even though some people did it but fail.
      I did it and I'm the one of them who fail to get sleep earlier. No matter how hard I try, but it didn't work. I consider myself as a night owl person and embrace it. Usually I fall asleep past midnight.
      Yeah, I wake up at day time but nobody never try to understand me. Usually I wake up at 9 in the morning.
      Answering for we do many things at next day, people still hold the concept, "No matter what happened to you, please wake up and don't be lazy. You need to get paid, you act like that. Nobody can be gentle on you and fix your problems. Go find the solutions or face it everyday and your need to get used to it."
      People still resist to change and take a lot of times and efforts to change or fix the issues as much as we can. No wonder many people have mental health issues, burnout and etc. Put the rules that the company put every single staffs who work there as their priority, but how many people who get oppressed by their workplace? Many companies have millions and billions profit but used a little bit amount of the profit to treat their staffs. Shame on them.
      At night time, trust me many people become passive so they don't waste their times and energy but they forgot people who tend to be stay active at night need to do everything and go to bed at day time. This world always be in difficult situations and never ever try to solve it/fail to solve it.

    • @veni5126
      @veni5126 Před rokem

      I see this comment is 9 months old. I hope you are doing okay 🥺
      What works for me in these situations is well going to the bathroom for a moment (or a longer moment) or just listening to the music. It kinda depends what are you in the mall for, but I'm pretty sure you can have headphones on for the most (or atleast a part) of the time spent there. Personally, music helps me to disconnect in a way from the noice etc.. I sometimes also just turn off kinda unconsciously and I "wake up" when someone says my name 😅
      I just noticed that your comment is mainly about stress. Well I've never been too good at managing stress. I just recently learned a breathing method to calm myself a bit, it doesn't always work. You inhale through your nose, exhale through your mouth. I usually just focus on the task and this way I'm able to do whatever I'm supposed to be doing. I just focus 100% of my brain on it.
      Of course it won't work for everyone, but if anyone's looking for ideas, why not give it a try.

    It's the strong will / wish to perform as good as possible, as good as I can; in a society where people say e.g. in sports when you do something "go to your limits and then a little more" - and then you go and try this in _every_ action - sooo exhausting! And in a muscle you have stretching to get relief from the tension - but where is the stretching for my soul and mind? When you are tired and overwhelmed, nowhere ...
    And when you give up, then comes the feeling of guilt and fail or even being a failure, produced by myself or when it comes from someone else the smallest tiniest criticsm is enough as I'm already too tired for any boundaries or any power of resistance.
    And after decades of going over the limits I am used up - and now when others say that I failed it became true. So sad.

    3. Yes. Also, my short term memory is not as capacious as some people think, so demanding too much at once is pretty much pointless - either I do nothing or just a few things that I do remember.
    4. Yes, I like routine and familiarity. It makes me less anxious when I know where things are and what I'm going to do at the time. Sudden change can be very unnerving.
    5. Yes. Performing in front of others is the easiest way to screw things up. I work best when nobody sees what I'm doing, as doing things in front of others feels like scolding waiting to happend.
