Rationalizing Emotions

I believe that I feel more deeply than those that are “normal” does that mean that I overreact to situations in my life that are not so problematic? When those around me let me down, and that’s bound to happen, how do I deal with my feelings? How do I know when I’m too upset? There are times when I can take a step back and remove some emotion before I react but sometimes my thoughts and feelings come pouring out of my mouth without any thought, this can get me into trouble. How is a crazy girl supposed to deal with difficult life situations, let downs, and hurt feelings? My feelings run deep in my blood from the top of my head to the tips of my heels and I take things very personally. I’ve learned that you can’t run from difficult situations, you have to face them head on or they just get worse. I’m just going to try and remember to cool down, rationalize the situation as best I can, try and understand where the other person is coming from, and have a calm conversation. I hope this works. – XOXO CrazyInHeels
