The TINIEST things make me cry, I just dont get why.I was looking on the intenet to see why this happens, some sites said it could happen due to the past, like an unhappy childhood and unhappy teenage years, and som said it could be something that is happening in your life that you may not realise is hurting you.I used to get bullied when I was younger, I still get rude comments made about my weight. I used to be very overweight, but now its leveled out abit and many people dont consider me as "fat". I had a boyfriend in May 2008, for less than 2 weeks, I thought everything was going to be great because it was the beginning of the relationship but he cheated on me and it took me 8 months to get over him. But I finally did in January 09.My parents seperated in November 08, because my dad was cheating.But I dont think I get emotional over that, i've been like this since I can remember, it started more when I was about 13/14 years old.Does anyone have any idea why I keep crying over the smallest, minor things. It could be because im sensitive, but I even wonder why I cry over something that is so small.Please helpx

I'm almost 18 now and ive had my fair share of ups and downs and i cry really easily too. Sometimes i know it's not because of what has happened, sometimes it can just be hormones acting up and making us more emotional than usual. I know lots of my friends who cry as well, and for no reason at all. What you are going through is part of the norm, but if you are really uncomfortable with it maybe it would help talking to someone? A close friend whom you trust or if you really want, a psychiatrist? Good luck sweetie i hope you dont get too down. xx

 Also, suppelementary question is this crying attended by a sense of being down?? If it is it could be linked to depression but you dont seem depressed to me...xx

Well yes you obviously are sensitive but I wonder if there is not a wider issue of projection here which is the lines that the sites you have looked on seem to take. I would be curious to know how you reacted at the time to the events you describe because you say 'My parents seperated in November 08, because my dad was cheating. But I dont think I get emotional over that' yet your last relationship ended in the same way so that is bound to stir some emotions in you.
I would ask whether this sensitivity takes the form of being receptive to and responding to how other people are feeling or it is merely events. If it is events then your sensitivity is pretty much all to do with your internal emotional state and what you need to do is resolve it and tailor how you respond to your enviroment. If it's other peoples emotions then you need to screen them out as much as you can. If 13/14 is when you were bullied I would tend to assume that it's the other peoples feelings one that triggered this in you but I cant be entirely sure from what you say here.
So, my advice would tend to depend on the trigger. Good luck :)x
