i feel like everyone around me (friends, family, coworkers, and especially my partner) sees my emotional responses and are always telling me that they’re worried about me. like today for example, i was having a hard day because i had a strong emotional reaction to some negative thoughts/feelings related to my relationship. when i expressed it to my partner, he said that he worries about me and is unsure if this relationship is good for me.

i feel like my emotional responses are extreme, but also completely the norm for me. i am in therapy and working on ways to reduce them for my sake and others. but i feel like every time i say that to people, they don’t listen. it’s like there’s nothing i can do and everyone is constantly worrying about me. on the best days, it just annoys me, but on my worst days, it makes me incredibly anxious. i feel like i need to change my behavior immediately or stop talking about my feelings.

is there anything else that i can do that will reduce this or stop it completely? it’s driving me insane.
