For as long as I can remember I’ve always been incredibly sensitive and overly emotional. When I was a baby my mum said I cried allllll the time and I would only stop when she picked me up, but as soon as she put me down the wailing continued. Even today crying is my default emotion, I cry when I’m sad, angry, stressed, excited, whenever I’m emotionally overwhelmed (which doesn’t take too much) I cry. Is anyone else like this? Have you also always been a sensitive and overly emotional person? 

In relation to bpd, I often wonder if the emotional neglect I experienced growing up was magnified by the fact that I inherently am a very sensitive person.
