So I cry sometimes... I don't really cry a lot, but I do in some of the weirdest situations. An example would be... If I tell my dad I love him... I don't understand. I DO love him, we're a good, great family, we don't say I love you a lot but sometimes when I do I tear up. Or even just saying my feelings... Usually telling someone them brings tears to my eyes. I am a very shy person, I'm 17, and my whole life I've been kind of insecure. Just recently I am getting over that for certain reasons, but I still find myself crying in these situations. I can't really explain it. I'm very quiet... very very quiet. I wish I could explain more of these situations but it's so complex I don't understand.. It's not that I'm sad, I don't feel sad when I'm telling people my feelings, but it's just very hard. I get choked up. Another example would be like when I was younger I would have trouble telling my dad I was hurt, I wouldn't be crying from the injury, but when I told him I would start crying... Whyyy? They're completely different situations but I still cry for similar reasons in them both, I think anyway. I'm worried this might affect me in the future. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh yea, another example would be telling my girlfriend I love her for the first time. I'm going to tomorrow and I KNOW I will cry. Is this bad?

no.

In all the situations you stated they were all emotional.

Lots of people are the emotional types,there's nothing wrong with it.

Think of everyday situations where you don't tear up,example,buying milk,or paying for the bus.

If you find yourself getting emotional about everyday things or feel your emotions are out of control seek professional help or speak to your doctor.

Hmm, OK. It's weird, Sad situations never really get my teary, I actually think pretty strong in those. But the ones that have to do with my love for someone get me every time. I'm such a softy. . _.

No harm in being a softy,in fact it's a good trait to have.

There are lots of people who can't or won't allow themselves to feel strong emotions.

Its healthy to be connected to your emotions,its only when they are ruling your life that it becomes a problem.

As a matter of interest people who have a strong connection to their emotions make great doctors,nurses,counsellors etc.

Any job that requires you to connect with people or animals.
