Some people become emotional when they are sharing their problems to someone. When they start voicing out their problems, they couldn't stop themselves from crying. Hmmmm. I'm one of these people. I hate it. How about you fellow mylotters, do you also become emotional? Feel free to share your thought everyone. Happy mylotting.

I am emotional,too. I sometimes try to suppress the feeling but sometimes, that just seem too impossible. I am a Catholic, so when I go to confession, I cry out. When I talk to my children about life, our situation, tears welling down again. I think I could never change that.

I am also hoping about it. I hope one day, he won't feel what's he feeling anymore. I want him to be his old self. I don't know if he's having a phobia. Thanks for posting.

Yes, I also feel that way. I seldom encounter problems. Now, I am worried about my husband's health. When I remember what he's going through, I become emotional. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

I'm not one to easily share or voice out my problem to others. And when i does talk about it, i prefer to talk indirectly. I think i never cry while talking about my problem. And i try hard not to show any negative feeling like angry, sad or depressed.

Yes, some people are really tough and I admire them. However, sometimes, there are some people who don't voice out their problems. We thought they don't have any problems. Then, eventually some of them will have psychological problems. I guess holding back your emotions won't help any good. It's also good to show others what we really feel. We can't tell them we are ok especially if we can't even smile at them. I guess sharing our problems to someone who is close to us is necessary.We need a shock absorber.

I agree that crying does not mean you are weak. I just say I didn't do it openly. Having a shock absorber sounds cool, but it is just not me. I hope i won't have psychology problem in the future.

so maybe they think with tear, they can release some stress pressure or maybe burden..some of them know sometimes their cry didn`t have solution but with getting a good friend for hearing their problem,it`s enough for them..

Yes, I agree with you. Having a good listener and a good adviser is great. Even if they can't help us especially when it comes to financial problems, listening to us is already helpful. After voicing out our problems, we feel so refreshed. We can think of things clearly especially when they advise us on what to do. Knowing that they are concern about us, we feel so grateful.

You're right with that. I agree with you hundred per cent. Happy mylotting.

I guess girls have this kind of problem sometimes. I do feel like crying even if i feel mad at my problems and sharing it to someone. specially when the person i am talking to keeps on rubbing my back or shoulders. i feel like crying more...funny to think, it is. But i can say not all girls have this kind of feeling. sometimes, they can control the tears cause they feel more hard inside, like a stone. so, they can control their emotions.

Yes, we can control our emotions eventually. I guess trials in life will make us tough. We might be vulnerable now, but someday we'll no longer be. :)

I admire these people who can hold back their emotions. I guess they are just a few. Most of us are emotional. I also feel like crying when somebody is a very good listener and very supportive. I like listening to their pieces of advice. Happy mylotting and thanks for posting.

i do too. i guess you are right. there are only few. but then, i know we can also do such things if we have strong emotions. when people get used to the fact that they get hurt always, there are times, they do get used to it so, tendency is to fight and control their emotions. i hope i can develop those stage.

That depends on how big the problem is. I don't cry when I have already found the answers and the solution to my problem, if i know what to do, I don't cry. But when I'm lost and I cry. I cry when it's a problem with my family. I cry when it's a problem that makes me doubt myself and my abilities. I hate crying over these because crying doesn't help much, it slows me down and it's a waste of time

Yes, it depends on the problem. If they are easy to handle, we don't shed any single tear. LOL. But if it's kinda hard, we'll be bothered and get confused of what to do. There are times that we'll become emotional. Crying is fine but not so often. It will really take our time. LOL. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

I don't always cry, but I tend to get very emotional when sharing my problems. I always get emotional when I'm trying to make decision, my heart over rides my brain. A lot of times I take things to personal and that makes my emotions go on a high level mode. I think maybe women are more prone to being emotional when sharing our problems because of our hormone level.

but it doesn`t mean that man can`t cry.. man have hormone too so it can influence their emotions for crying maybe...

Oh, yes. Both men and women tend to become emotional at times. I saw my father became emotional before as well as one of my uncles too. I guess no matter we hold our emotions back time will come that we'll give in. It's better to voice out your problems than to keep them. Sharing them with someone will make you feel comfortable especially when they are ready to give some pieces of advice or extend their help.

Oh, by all means I didn't mean that men don't cry, they can also show other emotions such as anger. Sometimes when a problem is so overwhelming a man can shed tears too. I was just speaking from personal experience that most generally the men I know use other emotions than crying (they hold it in) and they have other emotions.

i am the kind of person who shares her joys instead of any temporay problems. I rather focus on finding a solution to what the problem is then complaining about it.i don't find myself getting to emotional about problems, because i know each problem is here to teach me a lesson. so i focus on that and move on

Oh, that's great. yeah, I guess it's better to find a solution right away than sobbing it out. However, there are some problems that there will be no solution anymore. It only needs acceptance. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

I do become emotional when I am venting any emotion. That is why I do not like this aspect of myself because one becomes incoherent when one is emotional. You can share or speak better when you do not allow emotions to rule the situation.

Yes, I agree with you. It's not good to sob while voicing out emotions. It's really difficult for the other person or people to understand what we are saying. It's better if we'll just stay calm. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

Oh, that's great to hear. I guess you haven't encounter any difficult problems where you want to weep over it. Yes, sometimes we tend to keep our problems to ourselves. We don't want others to worry about us. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

I'm not an emotional person.Actually I dont like to share with other people my problems even with family and friends.I always hope to fix my problems myself and feel very reluctant if I have to ask for other's help.When I'm very upset about something I try to act as if it's not a big deal in front of people.I guess it's a long-time custom because I'm the only children and I have been used to doing things alone since I was a child.

Oh, I guess that's good. But when you feel like sharing I guess real friends are always ready to listen to you. Their shoulders are ready to cry on. Sometimes, it's good to share our problems. It will let us feel better. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

Oh. You are one of us. Welcome to EMO Club. LOL. Yes, I agree with you. Sharing our problems will let us feel better. It's not good to bear our problems alone. If there are willing to listen and help us, why not share with them our problems. Life is about helping each other. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

It depends on the problem on how fresh and traumatic it is. My body shakes and my lips too with the tears continuously falling. Then until the words I utter cannot be clearly understood. It also matters on how comfortable I am with the person I am sharing the dilemma with. If I am in a public place, I don't let myself be emotional as it will ruin my eye makeup. I do not want to mess it up.

Oh, thanks for sharing. yes, voicing out our problems in public isn't good especially if we are wearing any make up. Plus, it will attract attention. LOL. We don't to be the center of many people's attention. We should open up our problems in private and that way, we could say all the things that we'd like to say without thinking of people hearing our problem. Thanks for sharing and happy myLotting. Sorry for the late reply. Happy New Year!

Hello there Angel Karah. I think we have a similar case. I think at times, I also become so emotional when I'm sharing my problems with other people. I really get emotional especially when I'm talking about my problems with my friends. Every year, we have our sleepover in one of our friend's home. At night time before we would sleep, we really talk about some of our funny experiences and even our problems too. Whenever they would ask me to share about some of my problems, I just talk continuously then I would suddenly notice some tears falling from my eyes. I couldn't help myself from crying when they would ask me some questions about my problems but I'm just happy when they are really there to support me at all times. I also get emotional when I talk to my family and the other people who are really close to me. I think it is just my nature to be like this. When I'm quite emotional, I'm really like this so other people should get used to it. My tears would easily fall down especially while voicing out the things bothering me to other people. I'm only human, I really cry in front of others at times because I couldn't really help it. Sometimes, things and situations really hurt. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying your day. Happy myLotting too. :)

Oh, yes. I agree with you. We can't just hold back our emotions. For some peoplex they find it better to cry over their problems. After crying, they will much better. It's not bad to become emotional. Let's just see to it that when we voice out, our words should be comprehensible... not only sobs... LOL. Happy mylotting and thanks for sharing.

Sometimes I do especially when it is something that reminds me of a painful past. I also cried when someone shares me a sad experience and I can feel the pain they way he/she speaks or narrate the situation.

Oh, yes. I agree with you. Remembering our painful pasts bring back the pains. It's really difficult to hold back our emotions. I guess no matter how we try, we still give in. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

I think that the more I express myself to others the more emotional I will become. It is just a part of who I am. When those emotions begin to pour out, it really help the healing of the problems i may face.

Yes, I agree with you. When we share or voice out our problems to others, we can gather enough strength to face our problems. Their support give us enough confidence to be tough. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

Hi angelkarah050182 yes i'm also like that. Especially if i'm talking about my family. I can't control my emotion and stop my tears to fall. I dint know exactly the reason why but i think its because all the words that coming out in my mouth was from my heart. And i'm not ashame of that because its from my heart with love.

Oh, me too. I can't stop my tears to fall. I even sob. LOL. I guess it's okay because after voicing out, we'll feel much better. Happy mylotting and thanks for posting.

That would usually depend on the problem that am voicing out, also it will depend on who I am talking to about it. If it is one of my many friends I usually will hold my emotions but if it is someone am very close to I find it hard to hold, but I try to look away so that it doesn't show.I don't know if that is a weakness or not.
