Is it normal to have these moodswings?

I literally can't just think positive and be positive like others have the ability to do. I have to actually feel it. Its like my mood changes drastically. For example, if Im upset with some people I can't just go around them and act like theres no tension and basically be fake. But those people have to be lucky if I am actually feeling better all of a sudden and just say f*ck it and be able to hang out with them, then everything is good. I like it and hate it at the same time because why can't I have this feeling all the time? I am not good at being fake so it just gets awkward when I try so in order to actually be convincingly fine with everything I have to actually be in the mood for it. Its like a wall. When the wall is there there is no way I can be okay with everything and when I feel better I guess the wall is completely down.

    I actually get mood swings allot even if it's something ridiculous, I hate how that happens, even at games, Like minecraft i usually get pissed off, And getting mood swings are very normal, But that's just being bipolar, just to let you know why you get mood swings, you're bipolar.

    Depending on how drastic your moodswings are,and whether they vary by day or week, you may want to research borderline personality disorder. No one can diagnose you but a qualified mental health professional-and even they can be wrong-but I would recommend you look into it.

    It's called sincerity. It can cause a lot of friction. It requires good decision making skills. But truth is important. If you pretend not to care, you could end up not caring. It's a scary thought but you can sometimes turn into what you pretend to be. Not normal. Don't go with the flow and you won't get washed away.

      Yes I believe I am just saving everyone's time by not fooling them and instead giving them authenticity.
      Thanks for that. But what do you think of the idea of "being alone" since I stick to however I'm feeling at the moment and people will not like it therefore, I lose friends? and stay by myself? Being by yourself is not always a bad thing and I like being by myself. In general though, these moodswings do make an impact on having a lot of people around you or not.

    Well only a doctor can properly diagnose you. So yeah, I suggest you see a doctor.

    I think it's normal but I'm insane. But it does take a lot of energy and often times, intoxicants, to be fake. Lately I've been very isolative since last fall.

    Type 2 bipolar. Talk to someone about this before it gets out of control.

      DADNSCAL: I don't think you should give people over the Internet a diagnose. You are not a doctor.

      To the person who asked this question: If you are really worried about your mental health, go see a doctor.

    I can't say if that's at all normal; voted no to be safe. Everyone's different at dealing with others', and I actually admire that you're able to be so up-front with people, whereas I simply put on a fake smile and continue on my merry way.

    The most I can suggest is (if you feel comfortable with it) have a chat with your parents about your mood swings, or you may even have to go into mild therapy if you think it's bad enough.
