Everyone always tells me I am in tune with my emotions. I am constantly feeling things, and I worry about how everyone around me is feeling. On top of that, I always feel like I need to be the strong one, the one hiding my true emotions to support the ones hurting around me.

But it isn’t a bad thing to be an emotional person, and here are seven signs you are just like me.

1. You take on the feelings of others.

Not only do you have a strong connection to your emotional side, but you connect to others' emotions as well. I can’t tell you how hard it is to pretend everything is okay when my friend is hurting. I usually end up crying with them or even for them.

2. You feel everything deeply.

It could be the most beautiful sight or the hardest thing to watch, and you will be crying. Just like me, you feel everything. You cry over the things you might not even have control over.

3. You are deeply committed to all your personal relationships.

Everyone is in your life for a reason – you have a core connection to them. You don’t hesitate to tell them how much they mean to you.

4. You are in tune with the people around you.

Like I said earlier, you worry about how everyone is feeling around you. A lot of times, you know how your best friend or family member is feeling without them opening their mouth. Because of this, you seem to always know the right thing to say because you’ve felt it at some point in your life. So, you always get compliments for your advice.

5. Heartbreak has hurt you in the past, but you still believe in love.

You love deeply and sometimes it doesn’t take a lot for you to fall in love, but this also means you probably have experienced heartbreak frequently. However, you know the true deep emotion of love, thus you aren’t afraid to love again.

6. You have the tendency to overthink -- everything.

I’ll be the first to admit I am an over-thinker. I create scenarios in my head, and while it can be negative, my mind can also work in a positive way. You tend to care a lot about everything too. You think about all my actions because you don’t want to hurt others around you, but at the same time, you don’t want to be hurt.

7. You know how to love.

Since you are in tune with your emotions, you know how to love. You know all relationships require work, but you are not afraid to work hard. You are vulnerable and you know how to care. You know how to love.
