Why You Overreact
emotions occur as a result of a physical stimulation paired with some social or personal event
if an emotional event occurs, but you do not have a physical reaction, you will not feel that emotion in the usual sense
What if your heart was already beating hard and your stomach was already tense? Then something makes you angry...you may get angrier than usual because your body is already stimulated.
If you're tired, you may react mildly or not at all to an emotional event
