Hey all, I've got this problem and I don't know wether it's normal or not but thanks for taking the time to read it.

Ever since I can remember I've had the issue of crying over the littlest things. An example would be if someone is raising their voice at me or if I have to ask someone for help if I'm confused my throat gets all tight and I end up crying.

Another instance is when I get really angry or frustrated that someone doesn't understand me I start crying too.

My parents have said it's because I'm not used to being assertive as I am a younger sister to my very sociable and popular older brother, but I've never had problems with making friends and I'm not depressed

I can't seem to do anything about it and I want to find out methods of stopping it.

So is it normal? :(

    i do the same thing! nothing can stop it...(for me anyway) its so hard and the harder you hold it in the more u want to burst. i remember a teacher telling me off for something stupid like my hair wasn't pulled back in a neat fashion and i started crying and everyone looked at me like i was a freak.

    I don't know why but I'm very interested at knowing what your face looks like. You're normal, as people mentioned, you're more sensitive and emotional. Maybe try telling yourself ''i won't cry'' when someone raises their voice at you or making you angry could help. I'm not really sure.

    Yes. Some people are just naturally more emotional than others.

    I am the same way. But I'm the older one. For me it's due to low self esteem
