Is it normal to be emotional?

I often get easily emotional if something good happens. A simple thing sometimes gets me thinking more deep as it should and i get emotional. Like, if I receive a gif, i see my boyfriend smile, or just a person being nice to me, getting food and such things

    I think it's normal, not SO normal, but it's normal. Sometimes many people have difficulty controlling their emotions. Either because of childhood problems or something specific. It would be good for you to try to learn to control these emotions, if they get too strong a psychologist would be ideal. But this is really normal.

      Thank you very much. Actually I can handle them. But i still get emotional, most far i can is, to get wet eyes xD
      It does not happen a lot that I actually cry. I usually do not cry before people so i think I am capable of maintaining it

      Same. I usually have to fake sadness or sympathy in situations when I just don't care.

        I can get the sadness but not the happyness. I dont get the same joy that everyone else does.

        Yeah most of the times I cry alone at small things. Some small comments on me which are actually harmless can also make me cry though. They say weak people don't cry but I feel really light after I'm done crying alone.

          Yeah, after crying everything gets slowly better again.
          We are both some sensitive emotional beings.
          If we unite we become the niagara falls xD

              I love crying, Makes me feel so much better afterwards and yes I cry over small things and major things. All my friends and my exes are emotional along with one of my sisters. Even at 40 I still cry at least once a day. I keep a record of everytime I cry as well.

    I'm quite emotional too. Not to the point of getting emotional over a gif but it depends on the meaning behind it really. I can get emotional over something like that. I nearly always tear up over movies and tv series too if it's a sad or happy moment for the characters. It can be pretty overwhelming to be emotional though, especially when you have high empathy. It can get tiring to be around people a lot but it's also a nice thing to be able to feel much.

    I am the same, I love when people are doing well or achieve great things. I also love when shitty people catch their karma.

            Not sure if I want to or not though. People tell me it's a bad thing but I kinda like my unemotional vibe

              I think it is either good or bad. It is a trait.
              Maybe a change in life will make it more fun.

    You would make a great partner both platonic-wise and romance-wise. Emotional people are amazing.

        Can't say the same about other people of course but yes, I like emotional people. Emotional people I've met tend to be caring, understanding and open minded about sharing their feelings and thoughts with me. I can also discuss about meaningful deep stuff about them with no sense of awkwardness.
