    you know how sometimes you ridiculously over react to stupid little things?


    do you ever under react to things ??

    I do, often...big things that should at least stir some sort of reaction don't effect me...


    its the strangest thing

    Yeah.Over-reacting is bad.

    But in some ways, under-reacting is even worse.
    Shows someone is numb, sometimes.When it just doesn't register with em internally.
    And that ain't healthy.

    I do both, I over react, and then when it's all said and done with, I let things go quick... so it's kinda under reacting to my over reaction, if that makes any sense.

    I never over-react, and I probably under-react in people's eyes.

    I'm just really not emotionally driven at all and always composed.

    Any kind of extreme reaction just shows weakness in my opinion.

    I think I'm guilty of under-reacting at times... I blame it on apathy.

    I just react. No need to second guess it, unless I had plenty of time to prepare and didn't. Then I might be a little regretful.

    I almost always overreact, never under.

    i agree to a point, but I also wonder why being emotional is considered weak when it's human nature?!

    most things in my life get very little reaction out of me. loads of people find this annoying. but i over react to little things to even it out. better to over react to something little and maybe make a bad decision than to over react to something huge and make it worse. low-key seems to work for me.

    what does under react mean? overreact? is there a standard of how everyone should react to something?

    i just react to the situation in front of me how i see fit. to some, it might seem i under-reacted, to others i might have over reacted. i react by saying those opinions don't matter to me :biggrin:

    I'm backwards, I freak out and overreact at stuff that's no big deal, but sort of don't react much to really REALLY bad stuff. I don't know, I guess when something terrible happens, I'm better at just dealing with the situation calmly and falling apart when it's over.
