Emotional Changes In Puberty

[Cats123]

During puberty you grow emotionally. This growth can causes violent mood swings and such during puberty, but it is necessary to become an adult. I love the emotional changes puberty has brought me, before puberty I would listen to music at parties and such and enjoyed it, but after puberty started I would listen to music alone for the strong emotional feelings it would give me. I'm listening to music right now. xD. The testosterone excitment surge that hard rock gives me while working out is the best feeling. I just love the strong emotions that puberty has allowed me to feel, even saddness is good. From what I learned from the movie Inside Out, sadness is needed to grow as person. You need sadness to be able to change and grow and stuff, even though it can be very bitter. Anyway, how have your emotions treated you throughout puberty? :lol:

I'm a puberty starter or so. But according to your post, it seems I'm emotionally a mutant. No such mood swings, no sadness instead I mostly am on a good mood level.

Are you at the beginning of puberty? It WILL change. Most likely I mean. I guess some people aren't too emotional, but I for one am. But yeah you'll change soon haha.

Edit: Wait u never feel the drive that testosterone gives you or anything? If not, that will definetly change. I guess you don't have to feel extreme mood swings or whatever not everyone does.

I'm 13 and turn 14 in a few month. And right ... never felt, that this testosterone stuff gives me whatever. besides getting often hornyetc. Also I'd never such extreme mood swings. But my sis has. She's 12, and according to her behavior in the mid of puberty. She claims, she's more matured than me. But she doesn't think very rationally. Or about the possible impact of her decisions.

And sometimes i feel like as I'm my grandad or so ... if I compare my actions and considerations with those of my older bros etc. Also I'm not into video games. Mostly cause I think they are kinda childish. I'm more in RL stuff, sports and outdoor activities. And I decided having no mobile phone, until I turn 18.

Yeah I was kinda like that before, but now I think pretty rashly off of emotions. Testosterone makes you take more risks, not necessarily dumb risks. The risk could be as simple as talking to someone you like.

I'm almost finished with puberty and I get crazy mood swings, mad for a while, upset for justified and unjustified reasons, then I'll get horny and finally bored and the cycle repeats not in the same order though.

I would agree, emotional change is needed and is beneficial to grow into being an adult. What I don't agree on is the fact it is always related to puberty. Yes, like you said puberty does allow you to feel certain emotions and be more emotionally involved, which is important because we aquire a certain sense of sensibility to the world around us, but the way we feel things are not always related to puberty. For example, yes sadness is needed to grow as a person but at least for me the sadness I've experienced isn't always the cause of puberty. There is no hormone change that is going to change the way I react to feeling sad because I hurt a friend for example. Those things we learn just from experience. If it gives out a bad result then we don't do it, it's as simple as that. I'm not completely contradicting you, just stating the fact emotional growth isn't always related to puberty. It's a good point though that we do grow emotionally through puberty and I'm glad that you brought it up :)

Yeah I had plenty of ups and downs with emotions going through puberty. So much is happening to your body and mind during that time. Also the hormones are raging too which adds to the roller coaster of emotions.

seems that depends on how you define "risk". and what you'll talking about :D

talking to someone I like isn't a risk to me, cause wether it's somewhat of personal matter, just criticism or whatever, my point always is, it must be said what must be said or so. Even if the consequences aren't particularly encouraging.

People and sites always say that when you start puberty, your emotions become more intense. This was the complete opposite for me. When I was little, I wasn't just happy, I was ecstatic. I wasn't sad, I was heartbroken. I wasn't mad, I was about to combust. I now consider myself much calmer, albeit lazier; apathetic, almost. :P
