I tend to keep my emotions inside for weeks, sometimes months at a time, till they all come out at once. I only cry a few times a year, but when I do, I'm a mess.

I'm quite emotional, lol. But I also suspect I have undiagnosed ADHD. Had a period where I tried to practice stoicism and had to conclude that I am just not a stoic kind of gal. When I'm happy I'm VERY HAPPY. When I'm sad I'm VERY SAD. Same with anger and whatever other emotion is out there. Have gotten better at controlling it over the years, but will probably always be that bish who starts crying when merely talking about Baby Mine from Dumbo or who is a little too excited to talk with you about movies or becomes a little too angry over the way the world is going these days Dx it kinda sucks, ngl.

I cry at space documentaries, and emotional parts of shows and movies.

I was a very emotional person before, and since starting HRT I've been even more so (and my emotions feel bigger and I feel them with my whole body - its very affirming of my gender honestly)

I'm famously a very emotional person, I cry at adverts and I get very excited about things. It's partly cos I'm neurodiverse, but partly just me

Pathetic. I cry at videos of cats.

my emotions? like April weather

It's anecdotal but my mood regulation got way better when I switched from pills to weekly shots, just more consistent and predictable hormone levels

I do not know how "emotional" others are but I think that I am emotional like a vulkan is emotional.

Not very. I'm a fairly quiet person, but if someone really upsets me, oh boi, they are so in for The Wrath of Khan 2.0.

As emotional as would be expected of a normal emotionally healthy individual given the appropriate information given my life circumstances.

The emotional woman stereotype is just a meme for people who lack empathy and can’t understand why menstrual cramps might make a woman cry.

I'm generally pretty even-keel.

I was never super emotional - unless anxiety is an emotion - but I've gotten way more emotional since I stopped taking the pill and started HRT. I cry much more easily now, sometimes over really dumb things (both happy and sad!). I'm hoping that when I start the estrogen patch in a couple of months, my emotional regulation will get better.

I had an ex accuse me of being "robotic", so I would say my emotions are more muted than average. Compared to the people in my life I seem to feel everything less intensely. I'm cool headed and generally slow to react. The last time I felt intense emotion was when my cat passed away about 4 months ago. Before that was probably an argument with my mother over two years prior. Emotional disregulation seems to be the only ADHD symptom I don't have.

I'm fairly emotional, but my wife is calmer

I feel like an oddball saying it this way, but currently highly emotional? I don't really know if this is what's always been beneath the surface, or if it's the fact that I finally feel "allowed" to actually experience my emotions and the years of repression have just left them feeling more ready to come out and feel more intense.

Very.
