Too Emotional || Mayim Bialik

Do you ever get accused of being "too emotional"? Happens to me CONSTANTLY. Here's my vlog about why it makes me nuts and what I finally learned to say to people when they get up in my face about it.

About Mayim Bialik:
You ​might know me as Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory or from Blossom​ but there are so many other parts of me that you might not be aware of​!​​ I’m trained ​as a​ neuroscientist, ​I'm ​a passionate activist, an observant Jew, a​ perfectly imperfect​ mother, and ​I'm a complicated human being​ like many of you​. This is the place where I wear ​all of those hats - and none of them have a flower on them! ;)

It sounds like you have the tremendous gift of empathy. I hear you for I too can be overwhelmed by what I feel. Years of being made fun of for it caused me to become jaded towards the gift empathy truly is. I'm making my way back. Thank you for the encouragement.

[@sarahadams7206]

Samantha Campbell a tremendous gift of privilege

[@Dowlphin]

It took me a long time to realize that is one of my defining character traits and caused a lot of pain in my life starting from childhood. And I'm a man! That ... complicates things. Even today, because sorry, nope, I'm hetero. Still no mainstream support current.

Yeah, that was the other word that came to mind as I watched this. I'm very sensitive too. It's not easy to be like that in this world. I'm also a peacemaker personality and can't stand drama. Always have been.

[@sarahfara1539]

It sucks being told that you're "dramatizing" or "exaggerating" all the time just becaue you feel things the way you do. I've had the same problem, especially in relationships with much more "rational" partners to never feel validated for the way I perceive things... like, it's too "intense" for them, so it doesn't even really exist.

[@pixelatedDream]

The fact that you uploaded this just 3 days ago blows me away. Just a few nights ago I was incredibly upset because I dislike the fact that I feel so deeply about things. I get so emotional about so many things even things I see online, social injustices, mean things people say to other people. I get emotional at almost everything and I cry because of other emotions as well. I Cry when I'm sad, happy, mad, hurt or even just overwhelmed or frustrated and it's something I've always hated. I've had people tell me they were proud of me for "no offense, not acting like a baby" when I forced the tears down and forced a smile and acted with every bit of strength in me like I didn't care or hurt so much. This self-loathing for feeling emotions so strongly has been great for me especially lately as it's ramped up and has overwhelmed me at times. Hearing you talk about this makes me feel like I'm not alone and the message was incredibly uplifting. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.

[@HighlySensitivePerson]

Please don't hate yourself--there's nothing wrong with you. I urge you to look into the term "highly sensitive person".

[@spotabee]

You aren't alone. We're just not neighbours.

[@talyah23]

PixelatedDream I love what you wrote and can totally identify. I think we just need to remind ourselves that our "sensitivity" brings out empathy which helps us identify with others and reach out and help them and so in the end we're actually doing just fine xxx

[@janetzaretsky1821]

Thank you for posting this. This is beautifully expressed. I was ostracized in my own family for being too emotional, so I learned to stuff my feelings (literally-- with food). Then I was criticized for gaining weight. Thank God I found a program to let me know i was ok as I am, and now I cry with moving commercials, or simply when I am moved. I am grateful for the ability to empathize, love and express fully. It is ok for all of us. Thank you for using your celebrity to say that.

[@melancholy7621]

The Zenith Business I thought I was the only one ostracized (by my sisters) for being sensitive. I'm happy to know that you found a place that accepts you for who you are. I'm.hoping I find something of the same in the future ☺

[@ari.loves_27]

[@deetress2382]

I'm a crybaby, but I don't get emotional in front of people. My mother doesn't even remember the last time she saw me cry (and I'm suffering from depression so I cry almost every day). There's nothing wrong in crying and being emotional near people, but I just can't do it. I don't know why but I can't.

[@FloridaGrandma]

I know exactly how you feel. I have been very depressed for the past few years due to severe health problems. It got so bad I couldn't hide it anymore so I quit being around people and stay home alone most of the time. No one sees me cry except my service dog and it upsets him greatly when I am upset. I hope you beat your depression. I hope we both do. Saying a prayer for you and everyone suffering with depression. ❤💚💜💙💛

[@abortion_worst_CRIME_inHISTORY]

nothing maybe because they have comndened your feelings, so you are afraid to show them.

[@karenannyoung3767]

It makes me feel sad because of your ID, nothing. You aren't a nothing. I suffer from depression also and because my parents were embaressed if I cried in public, I try not to. Once I did in the dentist office and after that it got easier to cry in front of people. Mostly I cry alone. DH doesn't like it, but my stuffed animals and dolls do and I'm not ashamed that at 69 I have some really cool stuffed animals that I love!!! For all who suffer from depression, you aren't alone. Wish we could all get together and accept each other for who we are. We are special and important. Also, you might try art. I get a lot of pleasure out of it just for myself. Much love to you!!!

Mayim, this means so much to me. I’ve tried to “control” my emotions for so long until the past couple years when I finally realized it IS a super-power. Not everyone can be as passionate as empathetic, appreciative, emotional people like us. It’s intense, but real.

[@aliciam.3380]

[@MsLovableMuffin]

Mayim Bialik, you are the voice of everything that is true in this world. I can relate to this on so many levels. BTW, I actually have paperclips with a bunny decoration of them. I have tons of them in different colors, and glasses, and sweaters... and I never use them. They are just too cute.

[@mariethatsme]

Sharing on my FB LIKE page. "You're just gonna have to toughen up." was something I heard once from a distant family member who was giving me advice on how to handle my broken home. It rang in my ears for years because it was such empty advice. I didn't know how to not feel so hard...not be so sad for others. I never did toughen up and often felt like the rest of the world had numbed itself in a way I wasn't capable of. Now I'm a mommy to a little girl who oozes empathy for others. I'm glad she will be understood and not told "just to toughen up" as she's tossed into the fray.

[@ip9111]

I really enjoy listening to you Mayim. I get "Geez, it's only an animal" as I am a great lover of them. It makes me feel upset and confused that they don't feel the same.

[@joannaskor316]

I think you're a great version of being human.

[@gluckmac]

I cry in public because of good things and bad things I have encountered or experienced. I’ve been told I have a tender heart, and that I care about people, even the toxic ones. While talking to a friend about his son who had turned his life around I started crying tears of joy. My friend hugged me, and thanked me for always caring and rejoicing about his son. I once cried because a friend of my fiancé died. I started crying, and she rebuked me by saying, “What are you crying for? You didn’t know her!” We didn’t get married

I've struggled with this ALL my life, always felt like the odd one out, been made fun of, etc because I'm tooooo emotional but through a lot of soul searching I have realized I am an empath and actually feel others' pain, not just my own. It has taken me a long time to understand it and I'm not grateful that I am in touch with my sensitive side because it makes me a stronger person in the long run....

THANK YOU! idk why this resonated!!! because everything you've said I have had to learn. I suppressed myself to make myself more like everyone else. but i've realised its my feelings that make me make the art i make, make me stick with my dissertation even when I am working 16hour days! and its almost my super power! and Ive stopped trying to fit in and finding out where I fit in. I lost many 'friends' but gained soulmates just being me.

[@pacrii]

Mayim, can you talk about what it's like to be a scientist with emotions. I found in my field I had to train myself to reason through logic, not just feeling or intuition. The professors I worked with did not compute my feelings on theories or how experiments went. Did you struggle with this?

[@cleo421]

Yes, please Mayim! Even though I am a wildlife biologist my other colleagues are scientist in the field of microbiology, physics, IT, or other areas and I find it difficult to be around them because I am a very emotional person and I am also a non-atheist ... If you could do a video on how to manage rationality with emotion especially within our professional community that would be awesome!

[@biancacolon3593]

This is extremely comforting to me. Being so emotional often causes me a great deal of anxiety and fear. However, watching this makes me realize its not a negative thing. Thank you

[@digitalghost1383]

Thank you for this. As a fellow Ph.D., I wonder if you experienced this particularly in academia. I know I did. I was always being told that the "appropriate" response to injustice or any number of problematic cultural realities was to intellectualize them and theorize about them--and never, _ever_ take it any farther. I was supposed to have thoughts about the world, but not feelings, and I was certainly not supposed to express those feelings among other academics. Did you experience this at all in your studies, and, if so, how did you handle it? How can we resist the pressure to feel less and less strongly when that pressure is communicated as a professional obligation?

[@kimberlycolleen1494]

This video means more to me than anyone could ever know. Thank you so much!!💜 I've never heard anyone talk about this. I didn't know anyone else struggled with this issue. I've never really talked about this before other than a few close friends I have had through out my life. My whole life I've been told I'm too sensitive. I have been told I cry to much or I over react to everything. My mom could never handle how emotional I am and as ashamed as I am to admit it, often when I would cry she would hit me or throw whatever things she had around her at me and said some of the most horrible things to me that I can't bring myself to repeat... no matter what it was I was upset about... which just made it worse because I would get more upset and cry harder. (She never had this kind of relationship with my older brother or sister. Just me. She never hit or hirt them so as a kid I felt like there was something wrong with me and I felt like everywhere I was I was unwanted and I stayed in my head alot afraid to speak and annoy someone. I Still do It alot) It annoyed her when I cried or got upset. As I got older it turned into her beating the shit out of me if I'm being honest. I never hit or fought back other than one time when I got older and was already an "adult" I pushed her away from me and I never have forgiven myself. My sister made fun of me alot and she was always on my mom's side even though I always took her side. My brother just got super annoyed and pissed like my mom. It hurts because I love them so much and I could never hurt them the way what they do hurts me. I wouldn't ever want them to feel the pain that they have caused me. I let them run over me and treat me horribly and I just never stop loving them and trying to treat them kindly the way I wished they would do for me. (Honestly, i started trying to self medicate my problems away at the age of 12 with pills alcohol and pot etc. Cuz my mom didn't really care all that much but as I got older I turned to harder drugs and I do consider myself an addict. I'm trying to recover but I will always be an addict). Over time they all just started calling me a phyco or crazy and all kinds of other stuff like that when I would cry. They still do it constantly. (I can't stop myself from crying. I really can't. Mad, sad, anxious, happy, fustrated, etc. I cry.) I'm working on not letting it hurt me. I just can't help it. It makes relationships harder because the guy I'm with now, I've known him for 8 years (dated on and off but been together now for a few years) just about and even he sometimes gets fustrated and asks me why I'm over reacting etc. I've gotten to a place where at least with him I just tell him I'm not over reacting, I'm just reacting. This is how it has affected me and I can't help that. At least he tries to understand though. At least I have him. It's just scary to think I might get too emotional or something and he will leave. It's good to know I'm not the only one struggling with this and I'm not just some crazy phyco or whatever lol.

I can definitely relate to this. I cry at least once a week. And they aren't all sad tears. I cry when I see a good acting performance or listen to a great song or read a well written book.

Before the end of the series, I didn't know you had these videos. I was so sad and depressed that the series had ended, a series that not only identified with me, but also with my husband and or marriage. The emptiness sensation wad so vast that I needed more, so I started to look at cast interviews, bloopers and other Big Bang stuff..... and then I found you..... WOW!!!! With your videos you started to describe me, exactly how I am. I had to show it to my husband because I was seriously astonished and wanted to be sure I wasn't seeing and hearing what I wanted and not what you were saying, I was right, thank GOD. There are many differences between us, of course, I'm obese you are not, you are famous and believe me, I am not, you are Jewish and I'm Christian (with a deep and profound love and respect to all the Jewish community around the world, you were, are and always will be GOD'S chosen people). Thank you for being you, and thank you for sharing you with me! Much love and ❤ and GOD bless you and your beautiful family❣🙏

[@jamielashley6219]

Other people's words have an impact on how we view ourselves and the world around us. Words can have multiple definitions. We have the ability to choose which definition of the words used to change our perception. And I am truly valuing this ability we all hold. You said it beautifully. Our minds are beautiful and the techniques it chooses to help us identify emotions to learn to transmute and understand situations better is quite remarkable. I choose to see my emotions as a teacher to help me understand life better. Personally, I admire your ability to express your emotions through crying, I actually find it difficult. But I am learning how to cry without needing suffering through visualization and connecting more deeply with myself. Changing my perception of words has been fun as well, through that of music. I am using this technique to view situations in life in a more neutral yet in a positive way. Just as you have learned to change your perception, it truly helps to find a deeper connection with life. Our empathy is definitely a gift and one that I value so much now. It's been helpful to teach my children how to accept their emotions and how to change their perceptions as well. I appreciate your words, empathy and emotions.

[@lilydarkmoore8769]

I'm sorry to hear that you feel "dead inside." What a horrible thing to endure! To be unable to enjoy this amazing world we have around us, or to revel in the joys of beauty or humor or a kind act must be soul-crushing. I hope that you can find a really good therapist to help you rediscover your inner life, so that the world is more than just gray ash around you all the time, metaphorically speaking. I wish for you and the others who also feel "dead inside" much good luck recapturing your humanity.

[@jclyntoledo]

That was beautiful. As someone who used to feel "dead inside" I can say that it is torture. It is essentially a version of hell being able to see everyone enjoy things that seem to not be able to penetrate your heart, and only feeling pain or numbness. I hope those people can get better and feel more connected to what's around them like I have; but unlike me, I hope the process isn't as long.

[@CerberusProject]

I'm not dead inside, but I can't comprehend emotionalism. I wish I could, I remember at one point I wasnt like this. The worst part is I can tell, somewhere deep down, those emotions are still there. I just cant access them anymore it seems, always just out of reach. I am a result of my accumulation of experiences.

The start was so cute❤️ I am sensitive too, I cry easily but I can also relate easily to people because I am sensitive, as a child people was so afraid of hurting me and was uncomfortable around me but now people come to me and talk to me about their problems because I can relate even though I might not have gone through the same. I can still feel what they feel and sometimes cry when someone talks to me because I can relate so deeply and people like that❤️ I love your channel❤️

I used to struggle with my empathic gift until my pastor's wife said we share God's gift of tears! I feel such pride now.

[@VRodz-11]

I just recently found your channel and have been hooked since. I love that you share your strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, etc with us. I am an empath as well and can relate to everything you just said. P.s. please make more cooking videos

Can I just say THANK YOU! At least once day I'm told this. So thank you for making me feel like a normal person and not the only one that goes through this.

Can you stop to cut-jump fron right to left left to right? It is difficult to folloe if your eyes are just jumping from one side to another and what you talk about is pretty interesting. Thabk you

[@silveremeralds]

Thank you for this. I've always beat myself up for feeling this way. I added this to my favorites so I can remind myself.

[@DeborahTrying]

This. This is it! Thank you very much for helping me explain something that I thought was so horribly weak of me when compared to all the others who don't cry or get upset at things that I do.
