I'm an emotional person. Sometimes I can't help it.

The problem is not what other people think, do or say; it is your reaction.

You, and you alone, get to determine whether you are going to react positively about something or negatively about something - or, interestingly, have no reaction at all. Your emotions are entirely under your control. Your feelings are what you want them to be.

How do I control my emotions? How do I stop getting angry so often, or how do I stop being sad?

And a lot of people don't ever make that separation for what goes on with them.
