Emotions
Dear Dyke Whisperer, Why are women so emotional?
Robyn in Arlington, TX
Dear Robyn,
Most all people experience all emotions. Some women are compelled to express their emotions more than others. Some women are more sensitive. Sometimes, circumstances will cause a woman to be more emotional or to express emotions at an exaggerated level.
There are women who tend not to show their emotions. Personally, I would rather deal with an emotional person than one that lacks affect, but that’s just me.
I have found that when women feel insecure they tend to become emotional (especially if they’ve been drinking). If a woman is unsure of her status in a relationship, she might be emotional or even emotionally volatile at times. Uncertainty regarding family or professional issues can result in emotional outbursts too.
