I guess I’m an emotional person, in a way. Even when people aren’t yelling at me and are just talking to me (or someone else in my vicinity—like my teacher talking to the whole class) sternly, I start tearing up. It gets really hard to hold them back so I just wipe them as fast as I can. Even if it’s not a firm tone and it’s just a kind of stressful topic, I guess I subconsciously think I’m in trouble and start tearing up. It comes from constantly being yelled at when I was younger, and so my emotional restraint has weakened because any time a firm tone is used or it’s a touchy topic, I start tearing up and it’s difficult to control. It’s annoying to myself because I know there’s no actual real reason to cry when no one’s yelling at me.
