7 Reasons Why Being 'Over Emotional' Makes You Stronger

A lot of people seem to have the idea that if someone is an emotional person that they are automatically a weak person. Those people are absolutely wrong. Some of the strongest people I've met, and myself too, are labeled as over emotional and usually seen as weak. Yes, over emotional people are very sensitive and yes, we do tend to cry insane amounts. But we are not weaker people because of this, being over emotional is our strength.

Yes you read that right, being over emotional is not our weakness it's our strength and let me tell you why:



1. We feel everything so deeply

From the highest of highs to lowest of lows we feel everything with such power. When experiencing the highs it's a feeling like no other that we carry with us long term and when it's the lows we gain so much more strength from it then others because we feel more. At the end of the day it's a blessing.



2. We empathize more with others

We have the ability to feel what other people are feeling and connect with them on a deeper level. When they're sad, we feel it too. When they're excited, we share that excitement. No matter what emotion the other is experiencing we can always feel it too and truly go through it with them.



3. We aim for perfection

Yes we realize we can't actually ever achieve perfection, but we can come pretty damn close too it. We work extremely hard to be the best st everything; from best athlete, to best friend, to best students and workers and everything else in between. This pushes us to greatness in every aspect of our lives



4. We are brave

We are more vulnerable than most, which makes us braver than most. It's so hard in this world to be vulnerable with so many cruel people out there. But we aren't quick to judge and almost always give people to benefit of the doubt.


5. We always see the good in people

This is the biggest blessing and curse wrapped into one. We don't just go off of people's actions we go off of the potential the person has to be. We believe deeply in people and even in the worst of people we find the good. And sometimes all it takes for someone to change is one person seeing the good in them, we are that person always.


6. Other people's emotions don't make us uncomfortable

We don't get weirded out or uncomfortable when someone else gets emotional. If someone is crying we most likely will cry with them or at least not feel awkward about their tears.


7. We love like no others

We love freely, always. Wether it's family, friends or romantically we love more than most. When we love, we show it. We won't pretend like we don't or down play it all. If we love you, you will always know and everyone could use more of that.



So yes I am "over emotional". I will cry during most movies I watch, or when someone else is crying or when I'm upset in general. And my temper may be out of control sometimes, but for these 7 reasons and more it's not a curse it's a blessing.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
