How can I stop feeling emotionally hurt so easily?

I take things really personally and it’s starting to really affect me the last few monthes. Like I cry alot because i’m unhappy with myself, and my boyfriend will say things that will really cut me deep even though he dosen’tt mean to and i end up crying myself to sleep. Like he knows i’m always worried he’s going to find a prettier, nicer more fit for him girl then me. And we were talking and I was like do you really think theres one out there and he was like well its a big world. I legit burst out in tears. Every little thing basically stabs me in my heart and I want to stop takeing it all so personally but it just seems like I can’t.

Answer #1

It could easily be hormones, they tend the fluctuate in the teenage years. Just try not to over think what people say. You just have to look for the good in everyone and everything. It really makes a difference when you look for the good in all the bad, trust me. :)

Answer #2

I cant give you self esteem. First off, you have to know it in your heart that you are good. You Jade, are necessary or you wouldnt be here. If you wake up and breath in air, then there is purpose for you on this planet. You are loved for who you are. Who YOU are. I know there are people who are willing to love you if you let them, but we usually push away the ones that want us, and beg for the ones who dont. You are a young teenager so this stuff seems over whelming, but it gets easier. Just learn to be good with just you. You dont need approval, as long as you are not hurting yourself or others, then who cares what people think.

Eat lots of banana to feel always happy sounds so weird but its true because banana contains happy hormones. :)

Answer #4

I’ve had a lot of the same troubles growing up. Part of it could be hormones, but a think the core of it all comes from how you feel about yourself. Things people say hurt so much because you already believe those things to be true, even if they’re not. When you express your concerns and someone isn’t giving a clear message, you feel as if they’re basically agreeing with you. I think this may have happened with your boyfriend.

In any case, over the years personally I’ve found that 2 main things have helped me. I think they could possibly help you too.

  1. Believe you are good enough.
  2. Don’t pay too much mind to what others think. If they’re being nasty, they are not important anyways.

Both can be difficult, I know. You are good enough, though, and you have to try to believe that you are in order to be stronger on the inside. Appreciate things about yourself. Look in the mirror every day and think about one thing you like about yourself. Take baby steps. Try to think about things you’re good at. Think about the people who love you, and ask yourself why it is that they may love you. Write reasons down, so when you’re feeling low, you can look at it and remind yourself that there are people out there who love and accept you.

And.. if there happens to be someone who doesn’t love and accept you, understand that you are worth SO much more. Those who are important to you are in your life for the same reason you are in theirs. Always remember that. Your boyfriend is with you because you’re awesome just the way you are. Yes, there are other girls out there. He’s with you, though, and you are who he wants. Treasure that.

Answer #5

Validating yourself is the single most important thing you can do for yourself and your life. You get what you truly believe within yourself, you deserve. If your unhappy with yourself your going to attract those that are going to validate you exactly the same way. If you feel good about yourself, have respect from within for who you are, that too is what you will attract in your life. The more you focus on discovering what is good about you and exercise those qualities about yourself the stronger you will feel about yourself and more good things will come into it.

Answer #6

I am the same way. Its sad but just stop caring and only care about yourself
