Is it normal that i could be an emo?

Uhhh...I'm not so sure about this. Firstly, I always cry when I was little (I still do cry but not as much. Don't judge!) and when I do cry, I always go into a corner to cry. (very much like an emo) At that time, I had no idea on what emos are and I never really found out what emos really are until until I was 12. (I can't really remember the exact age) But I don't look and dress like an emo. And I certainly don't cut myself. In addition to that, I also LOVE reading emo quotes/sayings.

EDIT: I have attempted to cut myself, twice. (once when I was about 10 and the other time about 12) Only that I didn't, the knife was too blunt. Or... I wasn't brave/strong enough.

    Are you kidding me?! This doesn't qualify you as being a emo.

    You're a human being capable of emotion. Don't feel guilty for going through a hard time. I ugly cried today in a bath like a baby and feel fine now. Gain a sense of humor you turd, and people won't be so scary and make you sad. And stop wearing all that black. You're going to get hit by a car at dusk or something. See? a joke. And to take time to classify yourself as a brand of human being, you're leaving yourself no room for answers about inner peace, which you so desperately need. This is out of love. If you were my little sister or brother, I'd take you out for pizza and we'd go take a beautiful drive out somewhere, at least a short break from your troubles. One last thing. Try and have a good relationship with your family, or know that with age it'll all come naturally, and soon you will find the greatest love you could ever have. People who will never let you go, no matter how much you think you aren't worthy sometimes. I honestly hope your having a good day. At least you have a computer and a home to get to comfortably sit around and type out your thoughts. Realize the world is much bigger than a razor and a vein and you'll feel loads better. I don't know you, but I love you. You need something to inspire you. Keep your eyes and heart open. But be smart.

    your emo if you dress like a scenester and life literally revolves around you being in despair. if you don't dress like an mtv fag wanna be, your just plain in distress.

    Stop cutting yourself, its just asking for attention. if you really want attention just off yourself. no offense but the world doesn't care to see you me or your mom in pain, we all got enough shit in our lives to deal with.

    I don't mean to be so blunt, I'm as emotional as the next guy on this site but i hate self mutilation, it traumatizes you and the people close to you

    Being an 'Emo' means nothing. Why not just concentrate on being yourself?

    Emo is a term to describe people who wear certain styles of clothing and to describe a genre of music.
    You say you attempted to cut yourself, may I ask what the reason for doing it was? Were you depressed or angry with yourself?
    You could be showing signs of depression, it is difficult to tell when entering teenage years because emotions are all over the place. But a lot of people start showing signs of depression around that time. I did myself.

    Now i'm not about to give you a lecture like a typical "psychologist" would - shoving "Science" and all that nonsense in your face, nor am i about to make you feel like complete crap as others above this post i'm sure have tried. Just hear me out.

    In the modern world - An emo is all about wearing dark clothes and cutting one self.
    But in reality - Emo is just a short term for Emotional, now ask yourself - is it wrong to be emotional?
    Personally - you are who you are, if you feel something, then don't hide it, let it continue until it wears out, although i must say - self harm won't make the pain go away..
    How do i know? I was suicidal for 2 years straight, every day.. non stop.. what did i do?... Every time the sun fades away, i walk outside, alone, i let the feeling inside me wrap my heart in a suffocating blanket, the thoughts of me being so different from every one else possessed my mind, i used to stand on a large hill overlooking the sea, standing there, neither wind nor rain, nor sleet, nor snow drew me away from there..
    -2 years later-
    I was walking the usual route... and i realize that the feeling had gone... i stood there deep in thought, realizing that.. the feeling that had possessed me for so long.. was all i felt.. without it i felt nothing... that was 3 years ago.. to this day.. i feel nothing.. i don't feel sorry for a parent dying, i don't feel sorry for one losing their property..
    I dread the day that i wished that pain would go away.. because without that heart-suffocating feeling... i have nothing..

    I'm sorry for not bombarding you with other childish BS and moronic replies as most did as i see above this post by the way..
