Dealing with emotional outbursts - Are women crazy?

The answer is YES... Women are "crazy", but not in the way that you think. Let me explain.

Women need to cry, so sometimes they will literally bullsh*t themselves that something is bothering them, or hurting their feelings, just to help themselves to cry.

(SOME women know that they do this, and some women don't know it consciously. Or maybe they just keep it a secret, perhaps they all know about this.)

So let's say that she had a tough week. Nothing big enough to actually cry about, but still... quite a bit of stress.

And this stress has been building and building inside of her all week long... She NEEDS to release this energy, and crying is the cure.

(Also note that sometimes SEX is the cure... And, if you have sex right after she's been crying/releasing, you're a very wise man.)

So she needs to cry, but she doesn't have anything painful enough inside of her to open the floodgates. So, she comes home from work and FREAKS over something "dumb", like the dishes not being done. Then, it escalates into how you don't really care about her, and you're just like all the others, and next thing you know, she's crying.

Just what she needed! She used those "little things" as leverage to help herself to cry. Most of the time, she doesn't even realize she's doing this consciously.

But women do this all the time, and it took me YEARS to figure out what was going on. So this is what often happens when girls freak out over inconsequential bullsh*t.

They are not "crazy", they are helping themselves to cry, to release the day-to-day stress.

Whenever we think "women are crazy" it is just because we do not yet understand what is really going on. It's just a sign that we need to work on our empathy, compassion.

Over the years, I've learned to fine-tune my intuitions about this stuff, I can now recognize when women are deliberately over-dramatizing things in order to help themselves to cry.

When a girl starts getting really emotional about something that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of life, rather than try and "talk it over" or "calm her down", I just play along with her. I'll get into the drama with her, and actually help her to feel WORSE.

Or, I might come right out and say, "Do you just need to CRY?"

Just saying that is often enough to get the tear ducts opened.

Next thing you know, she starts crying and I just hold her and say, "It's okay, let it all out, you're beautiful, I accept you just the way you are."

(Add two more women in the mix helping me out, telling her she's beautiful and loved and hugging her... trust me, she cries and let's it all out. It's a beautiful thing.)

Try not to let women's emotions scare you, don't take any outbursts too seriously. Don't go into sympathy, go straight into empathy and know that what you think "annoys" you about women and their emotions is actually something that attracts you on a very, very "primal" level.

Think about it.
