Why Do I Feel The Way I Feel? Quiz
Some people have trouble identifying how they feel, and figuring out why they feel that way. This quiz is designed to help you figure all this out, and might help you change your situation for the better. It is adapted from a Dialectical Behavior Therapy workshop given at the Counseling and Career Development Center at Georgia Southern University.
I hate my brother.
I can't say that. I don't actually hate him.
WHY DO BOYS HAVE TO BE SO IMMATURE??
One of my experiences was being an embarrassing, stupid, cringey, nine year old girl who had a crush on my brother's friend.
THEY PLAYED A PRANK ON ME.
I cried.
THEY LAUGHED.
I felt stupid.
Looking back on the 9,734,278 cringey or embarrassing things I've done in my life, which I've all told to my best friend (who laughed every time) makes me feel like nobody will ever think of me as not embarrassing.
From what you have described, it appears you might be dealing with a great deal of shame in your life.
The roots it come from doing something wrong, someone "telling" on you, being made fun of, being betrayed and/or rejected, failing at something, or having emotions that have not been validated.
Additionally, thoughts of believing you are bad, part or all of your body is flawed, you have failed, you are stupid, judging yourself, terming yourself a "loser," and believing you are unlovable also create feelings of shame. You might have an upset, feel dread, blush, have the jitters, or feel like you're suffocating.
To alleviate shame, when it is justified, repair your transgression, avoid making the mistake again, accept the consequences, and then forgive yourself. If the shame is unjustified, repeat that which makes you feel ashamed until you no longer feel ashamed.

You could also get this result:
For 30% you are: All emotions are prompted either by external or internal experiences. Regardless of the source, the emotion is real, and manifests itself in the body and mind.
From what you have described, it appears you might be dealing with a great deal of fear in your life.
The roots of this fear come from being in a new situation, or in one where (or like) you or someone you know of has been hurt.
Additionally, believing you might be hurt, fail, not get what you need, lose what you have, not have control or die, also feed fear. As a result, you might experience sweating, shaking, jumpiness, tension, breathlessness, dread, vomiting, etc.
To alleviate fear, it is important to identify what you are afraid of repeatedly, until you are no longer afraid. Also, engage in activities that will help you gain a sense of mastery and control. Profile B

For 20% you are: All emotions are prompted either by external or internal experiences. Regardless of the source, the emotion is real, and manifests itself in the body and mind.
From what you have described, it appears that you might be dealing with a great deal of anger in your life.
Anger is caused by losing power, respect, and status; being insulted, not having things turn out as you wanted; being in pain; being threatened; having something important interrupted, and not getting what you need or want. Additionally, anger might come about if you are expecting pain, if you believe you've been mistreated, if you are judging a situation, or ruminating.
To alleviate anger, it is important to avoid the provocative situation, and to try to counteract anger with kindness. It is useful to put yourself in another person's position to try and understand and be empathetic to their point of view. Profile C

From what you have described, it appears that you might be dealing with a great deal of sadness in your life.
If you have been rejected, disliked, have discovered you are powerless, have been with someone who has been hurtful, if things have turned out badly, if you're not getting what you need, or if you've lost a loved one or a relationship, you might feel sad.
Plus, if you believe that you are bad, a failure, stupid, not "good enough," a "loser," and that you are unlovable, you might feel sad.
To combat sadness, it is important to engage in things that bring you pleasure, to be active, to not withdraw, and to do things that help you feel confident. Profile D

Then why did you throw the cat into the street? I have a serious case of growing up. I just started noticing it. I know that not everyone has a chance to have a good childhood, but I think that would be my wish to the world.
I was kind of nervous as I started thinking for myself and seeing the beauty of the terror that is reality. The concept of reality didn't sink in until I suddenly realized that the world isn't as my child mind perceived it. I know lots of people here have problems and I want to best know how to help the people around me. They seem to be dropping like flies, and I think I might be hurting some of them unintentionally. Is there a diagnosis for being mentally healthy, but caring about the people who aren't? I just wish I could understand them without actually hurting myself. I think I crave Empathy so much that I am sinking with them instead of the alarm of realizing everyone else is already underwater.
Please tell me best how to help them and myself!
Even tho idk you
