Emotion triggers easily

Yeah I think it's a mix of hormones..also if we are older 40s too. And adding a sensitive personality. With a lot of compassion. If u add excess of work and problems. Then u have this result. Too emotional. Only good rest. Activities and social life can help a bit. Be surrounded by good vibing people. Try to talk about this feeling possibly many people around got the same.

Some people are more emotional than others. There's an extremely wide spectrum, and as long as it's not so extreme that it causes problems in your daily life, I don't really see any problem with it.

When you say you find it annoying though, that could be in part because gender-roles for men frequently demand that we are stoic and in control of our emotions at all times, and so many men might feel it's awkward or embarassing to choke up or start crying.

But my thinking is that it's that shame that is wrong -- and not the emotions as such. Having strong emotions can be awesome! Especially when they're strong *positive* emotions.

I'm the same way. I can't talk about how I feel for any of the women I love without choking up. Doesn't help that they've all been core parts of my life for more than half a decade by now, so you'd think I'm used to it.

I'm not. And I reckon I never will be. Instead the world will just have to cope with my love sometimes feeling as if it's too large to fit entirely inside me, so some of it leaks out by way of choking up or just straight up crying with happiness.

I'm a very sensitive to things in this way and things get me emotional ridiculously easy. It's just the way I am and I've been like it for decades (nearly 60 now).

Just been to a music concert and the music made me tearful, I was tearful because it was so beautiful and also I know my late father would have absolutely loved the music (he died nearly 20 years ago) and strongly associate the music I heard with him (big band jazz/swing).

My last GF mocked me because holding her in my arms, dancing closely with her to emotional romantic music made me tearful because it was such a sweet and pleasurable experience, to hold the woman you love and dance closely with them to slow romantic music (Latin American bolero). It was something I'd always wanted to do and I couldn't believe it was actually happening. An exquisite experience later sullied as she mocked me for being too sensitive.
