Emotional Girl

I'll warn you now that this blog isn't going to be cohesive, or witty, or fun.

I'm one of those sensitive people that take everything to heart. I have a poor self image. I cry at the drop of a hat.

And I hate that I'm this way.

My mom insists that its a good thing - feeling this deeply means you can love, care, and sympathize more deeply.

But mostly I just think it sucks.

Especially when the people around you just don't get it, don't get how their actions can ruin your whole day.

I had a brief moment of triumph last night - I went Julia Sugarbaker on a salesman and it felt good.

Its amazing how quickly I went from being strong and confident to a pathetic pile of insecurity.

So now I just wanna crawl back in bed.

    I feel things very deeply too. It is rough because I have decided that 95% of the world do not feel so sensitive - they have thicker skin.
    For those of us who are emotional and have sensitive feelings we can be hurt very easily.
    You are not alone and things will get better.
    I am a lot older than you and a trick I learned when I was young was to isolate an incident and ask myself if it was going to matter in a year or a week, etc...
    It helps to put things in a better perspective and take your mind of the "now".

    Have a happy day and definately get out of bed!!!!

    I think even the most confident people have their days. I'm more like you - very sensitive, always wondering 'do they like me?' etc. Go for a run - it'll energize you.

    I have an edge on me, but it's mainly to protect the emotional and sensitive girl that's hiding inside. Hardly anyone gets to see her--at least in real life!
    Poor A has dealt with more than his share of emotional girlfriend.

    I'm sorry you're having a rough day :( hugs and love to you!

    I am the same way. The more I try not to cry the more likely it is that I will cry. Usually, it's because I'm so frustrated or angry and it's gotta come out somehow. Hope you feel better!

    I hate you are not having a good day. =( I know what you mean on the "boy, I showed him!" attitude quickly deflating. I did that to Someone Who Shall Remain Nameless because it was such a horrible day, and I saw her, and I was sooo mad at what she (and another person in her family) had done to me and my husband. And...wow, I let her have it. And then I felt sooo bad afterwards because I had done nothing wrong in that situation, and then there was this big, black mark against my record and I felt bad for what I had done to her...UGH....That was not uplifting, was it? Lol. I hope you have a good evening -- get together with Jay, cuddle on the couch, and watch reruns of LOST!! ;)

    Oh, I so know how it is. You want to let it slide off your back and say to heck with them, but you just can't.

    Don't get too down! I don't want to get Jillian on you!!

    oh boy, i was nodding along as i read your post, i am exactly the same way. i cry. i'm the crier. that's just how it is. my mom tells me the same thing, that it's part of the passion within me, but mostly i feel like a big baby when i just can't contain myself. but i'd rather be the town crier than the person who never ever cries. you are definitely not alone!! hugs to you from a fellow crier!!!xo

    I can completely related to you on this one. This morning I supported a client of mine after her customer went looney on her. I propped her up, told her she was awesome, helped share her burden.

    This evening my brother made a comment to me that sent me home in tears and made me write a blog post that pretty much told my family that they stink (of course they won't ever read it).

    I think you rock, of course I'm only starting to get to know you through blogs posts and comments but I still think you rock. :)
