“He/She is too emotional and sensitive.” “Why are you getting so emotional?”

“Don’t let emotions get into your way.”

These are some common phrases we hear in our personal and professional lives. Is being emotional a problem?

It is, if you do not manage your emotions well and let them translate into negative behaviors that impact yourselves and others. Psychologically, emotions influence how we think and prepare us for behaviour.
