6 signs you’re a emotionally complex individual, according to psychology

BY LIV WALDE

1. Feeling emotionally extremely intensely

If you're like me, your emotions are never mild, and you experience them on a deeper and more intense level, possibly qualifying as a highly sensitive person.

2. Sudden highs and low

As an emotionally complex individual, your days can shift from invigorating to exhausting with emotional highs and lows that make life more exciting but challenging.

3. Extreme empathy (to the point where it is almost painful)

Emotionally complex individuals often possess heightened empathy, absorbing others' emotions to the point of exhaustion, making them more compassionate but also prone to emotional fatigue.

4. Nuanced emotions (that never just fit one category)

Emotionally complex individuals often experience emotions that blend multiple categories, such as happiness mixed with fear or disgust coupled with sadness, requiring heightened introspection and self-awareness to manage their feelings.

5. Introspective and lost in thought

Emotionally complex individuals, driven by a strong desire for self-awareness and understanding of their nuanced emotions, often spend a lot of time in introspection, which can lead to both anxiety and a deeper connection with themselves and the world.

6. Misunderstood by the world around

Emotional complexity is a blessing, but it can also lead to misunderstandings and challenges in forming relationships with those who don't share the same depth of emotions.
