Am I overreacting? ? ?
(WRONG SECTION BUT PEOPLE ANSWER HERE)Okay in spanish on thursday I had a substitute. He told us the wrong instructions for the project. We didnt know this though. When our teacher came back today she was like your words dont fit with your main word(we had dinner and we had foods to go with it). We said that our substutute said they didnt have to match together(he said that) she was like yeaaah right and he walked by our room and he was like yeah I told you guys they have to work with the main word.(he didnt). Sooo when she walked away to check people in the hallways he's liek im going to cover for myself which pretty much ment he didn;t care what we said. But then we forgot about it and looked at the words we had put: Eggs and cereal. She said any normal person doesnt have that for dinner. My partner was like yeah my sister does and shes normal. She said we should stop back talking her and shes going to lower our grades. Same with the other groups who did the wrong directions(all but one group). Am I overreactine because im reallllly mad. (our goood project got an F)
How can I stop overreacting to things and stop taking things the wrong way?
Don't panic when you ever find yourself angry, upset or defensive at the smallest of things. Get in touch with your feelings or vent them out, rather than doing that in your antagonists face at that moment try writing them down instead, what your. Feeling, what caused the feelings and who triggered them. This will help you track patterns in your behaviour.Learn to keep silent, it's really hard to stop talking in the heat of the moment, difficult but not impossible and just requires some kind of will of power. If you continue to fight back you might just make it worse.Do understand that you are still going to over react, change doesn't happen overnight however you can learn from every experience. Learning how to stay calm requires practice. Goodluck.
I don't know what is wrong with me. Am I overreacting?
I don't know what is wrong with me. Am I overreacting?About last year, my bro & I had an argument in the car. It was something petty but he got so mad & started verbally abusing me by calling me names, insulting me, telling me to die and insulting my friend (she wasn’t there). I just burst out crying, my mum was in the car but she ignored…The situation you describe reflects the dynamics of a dysfunctional and unhealthy family. Personally, the last thing I would want to do in such a family is try to work things out with the abusive angry person. If such an approach would work, they wouldn't have been trying to destroy you in the first place!The comment you claim your mother said is bizarre and insulting and dismisses your feelings entirely. It's a completely erroneous statement. We do not have to be raped or physically beaten to a pulp before we are entitled to be deeply hurt. These are the kind of dismissive painful statements that drive people to hurt themselves in an attempt to communicate their pain.I can't ascertain your age nor your brother's age, but my advice would be to stay away from him completely. No one needs that in their lives just because other people think you should subject yourself to regular abuse.I don't envy your situation. In your situation I hope I would find a helpful therapist who could validate my feelings and help me make sense of the damage done to me, and the ways in which my family imparted a very painful and unrealistic self-image to me.Good luck.
Is overreacting bad? Why or why not?
Yes, by definition. Over reacting is too much. Also, reacting (acting without thought) is only appropriate in life threatening situations where seconds matter, or in sports.Responding (a delay between stimulus and response in which to think and choose your actions wisely) is nearly always the best course of action — even if only for a moment of reflection or to gestalt a situation.
What's wrong with telling someone they're overreacting?
There's nothing inherently wrong with it except you are reacting to that person's overreaction.In a negative emotional state a person will act as to how they deem fit at that particular moment. Telling them that they are overreacting is useless as according to them they are simply reacting. But you perceive them as overreacting.Also telling someone that they are overreacting is the worst during heated moments because that statement invalidates their feelings completely, which inturn causes them to react even more.Your aim should be to reduce their reaction and not feed it. Don't throw rationalism regarding how their reaction levels are well past what you perceive as normal, rather try to understand their point of view and soak it in.
Is this a bad friend? Or am I overreacting?
I have this friend I've known since grade school. I was his best man in his wedding. We've always been cool. Problem is, his wife deletes girls off his facebook page, including my girlfriend. I take offense to it, because I want to know what the deal is. I approached his wife about it and she said she didn't do it. So a year later it happens 2 more times. My friend admits that it is his wife that does it. Apparently shes on his facebook often. Keep in mind, there is nothing between my friend and my girlfriend. We barely ever talk to his wife, because she doesn't want to talk to us. I approach my friend and he just shakes it off and says, "Just let my wife be. It's all good. She gets like that sometimes." So I tell him, "you don't need to add her again if this is going to keep happening." Am I overreacting? Because I plan on marrying her one day, but I don't want to be around this drama they cause. She can't even apologize to us or explain to us that it's not a big deal.
Why do girls overreact when asked what's wrong?
Well when I feel this way there is something wrong but I don't want to talk about it right now. I'm thinking about whatever it is that is bothering me and what I am going to do about it possibly if action needs to be taken. She probably just wants some time maybe she'll talk about it later sometime. Another thing girls don't like is if you try to solve there problem for them by telling them what to do. So if she does tell you what is bothering her just listen and try to be understanding is your best bet.
Was dad overreacting or was i wrong to joke like that? help please?
People know I have an odd, vulgar sense of humor and they're used to it. Anyways, yeserday I was sitting at a table with Dad, and I took a banana. I held it tight with my fist and started to stroke it slowly , saying "wow it's so long and thick!" in a sductive tone. Dad was staring at me like I had two heads, but I decided to give him a show by performing fealito on the banana. Then he got up and stormed out of the room saying, "I can't believe her, never guessed she would turn out like her mom!" Ever since that incident, he's been ignoring me and won't even look at me in the eyes. Whatever, he needs to lighten up. How do I get him to speak to me again?

Is my manager really bad or am I over-reacting?
I really understand your problem.I did my internship earlier in July in one of the best automobile company,its a known and a huge brand.As a part of internship,A mentor was allotted to me.He is a very psychopath person.He is at some managerial post.He handed over me to his department workers and daily he checked on my attendance.He was very rude and judgmental.He didn't leave any point and always try to put me down.And on the other hand I am a very egoistic and pampered person who doesn't want to take shit from him.So I really felt bad and at times I want to beat him up but my friend this isn't how an industry works.There's always ways to persuade your manager.It's a fact that senior always try to suppress junior and its against ethics but none can do anything.You don't need to leave the job,be calm and cool.Just work hard and try to grow your social network more in company.The more you have contacts with people,the more powerful you may seem..Try to befriend your managers manager .It will make your manager look nervous.Never react.Let your manager be reactive.
