Emotional states are subjective and differ in definition depending on what person you ask. But there are a few differences about myself that could help others with self-definitions of themselves.
For a very long period of my life, I always thought that being emotional was the same as oversensitive, that they went hand in hand. I now believe myself to be wrong as I am an emotional person that can sometimes be oversensitive but definitely not as much as when I was younger. Over the last few years, I have learned how my brain and body reacts to certain situations. As I’ve moved from everything making me cry as a child, I have triggers that make me emotional but being over sensitive I believe is all about perspective.
As long as you are safe in your outlets then being over emotional is no problem! And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
