Ok my AIBU is am i unreasonable to react like this? What is wrong with me?
Is anybody else like this?
In day to day life I wouldnt say i'm anymore emotional than the average person, but in certain situations I get this ridiculous over emotion that floods me and results in me starting to cry and have to bite my lip to try and stop myself making a scene. It feels incontrollable at times and I dont remember always being like this.
The situations -
weddings and funerals starting - maybe not as unusual but it happens even if i barely know the person / people
Any kind of show - theatre, cinema, gig, kids nativity, especially if there is singing and music but there doesnt have to be
Every year when the year 6s leave at my kids school, even if i dont know any of them. Also school sports day even when my kids aren't participating in the race.
I cant sing along to the radio in the car without getting choked up and starting to cry. It doesnt matter what the song is / is about
Watching a parade at the weekend, had to hold back the tears - no idea why
When ambulances drive past, not every time, but around 70% of the time.
I don't know what comes over me and why, just a complete flooding of emotion. Why am i like this? It can be very embarrassing
