I do half of the crap I do because I feel the need to. The emotions are so strong. I cannot seem to find a straight forward answer online. My therapist says it is because I miss "the buildup". I'm not entirely sure what he means.

Are we just built/made this way? Am I going to spend the rest of my life simply just trying to do the right thing (whatever that may be) after being railroaded by any given emotion? I'm worried all I will be able to do is cope by waiting for the strong emotion to pass.
