Is it normal that my emotions are this way?

I feel like my emotions are very strange and just not the same as everyone elses. Whenever I explain to a friend how I feel they laugh and say its strange or they sympathize but I still feel like they dont understand. This is posted in hopes that someone out there does.

I rarely ever feel sad about anything but when I do I cant let it out. I cannot cry unless I know that im totally alone and cannot be heard or found out by anyone, and that is rare. If I dont know that than It gets stuck in my throat and I just feel even worse. I used to cut myself because of that happening to me (For the record, I do not anymore) However, when I do get sad I cant stop and I get upset about everything.
I always get very paranoid at night and end up texting a friend of mine flipping out over the smallest things.
I am always afraid that everyone is laughing at me and all my friends secretly hate me and find what I say stupid. No matter how much I truly know they love me, I still have that delusion/paranoia in the back of my head.
Is this normal and everyone goes through it, or is something off with me? *Besides cutting. I know that is bad and I dont anymore.

Is It Normal?

    That emotion is rare, I can say that. But rare as in many others could feel the same way too sometimes.
    But Is It Normal?
    -Cutting yourself(I know you don't do it anymore), but > Hell no
    -Strange emotions > Yeah

    Don't get too caught up to things which aren't your fault. Cause you'll make yourself feel worst. Remember to always put that smile on your face even though things seemed to be bringing you down.
    For tears, if you ask me, tears while watching a movie is normal to me, joyful tears are supposed to be, sad tears should be sucked up, cause it'll make you feel more uncomfortable.
    Hope that helped =) sorry if I'd offended anyone here!

    I was and still am like you, I was soo depressed the last few weeks, and the most frustrating part was I don't even know why. I felt like I couldn't trust anyone enough to let all my stress out, I felt like I was never good enough and I couldn't do anything, but then I realized that no one CAN ever make us feel like this except ourselves, so I hope you can try this, try to give people around you a chance, try to see the world with a different pair of eyes, and things will be okay :)

    Try talking to someone, let everything out.

    You need an emotional outlet. Try exercising like free weights, jogging, or punching drywall.

    It sounds like you've been thrown, unwillingly, into a world you don't understand or even particularly like. It's the same for nearly everyone. It's just that everyone else is pretending it's okay and that they know what's going on. It's okay to feel like you do. It's even healthy.
