Anxiety and ocd

[Yani2302]

this days i feel pretty intense, and i feel depressed too, i try not to watch sad things, because they kinda irritating me, but only when someone is crying very dramatic, usually my crying is the same, and i dont get why crying bother me sometimes, that's why i feel that i'm not a good person. I try my best to not be judgmental, can someone help me why i get irritated by crying. I try to understand, but i over analyze myself and i always seek reassurance from my doctor and close ones, i always ask myself is my anxiety fake and if my emotions are fake, because i don't empathies all the time with people, i need help, i talked with my doctor about it, but he said that there is nothing wrong with me

hey,

Do you cry often? Sometimes it’s difficult to understand people’s emotions when you don’t personally feel them.

Being frustrated or becoming uncomfortable by other people’s emotions is a normal thing. It just depends on your personality. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, just that some people’s situations aren’t for you.

It’s also important to remember that it’s good to care about people, however it is NOT your job to fix them.

If you cry for a good reason (you just lost a beloved pet, for instance) or see someone crying for good reasons, you may not be irritated by it. What may irritate you is seeing crying for no good reasons or crying beyond reasonable limits. You may see that as a sign there is something wrong with the individual in question. If people are sad while having every reason to be happy, what would happen when they have a valid reason to be sad? They actually may not feel as bad because the worst may be to experience an emotion and disagree with it.

That's true, like i can't understand people very easily, when i see someone sad i really want to help them, usually i get sad, because of my anxiety or loneliness, i always felt different and that people can understand me, i even didn't go to college because of my intense emotions, i don't want people to say that i'm to dramatic and stuff, usually i want attention, maybe because i don't have high self-esteem, i don't want sympathy from others, i just need to listen to me

depression and anxiety can cause you to be more emotional regardless of what you’re experiencing. Have you talked to your doctor about medication and/or therapy. Sometimes we need a little help to cope with daily living. I hope you find some comfort soon. 😀
