Doesn’t the amygdala handle processing strong emotions rather than causing them, meaning that an underactive one would be less able to handle said strong emotions?
I have never had my amygdala scanned so I don’t know where I sit.
I know I am very liberal/leftist as far as politics go, and I don’t really care about the differentials of definitions of those terms. It just means that I am anti-conservative and pro freedom, and I don’t care what the correct word for that is.
But, that being said, like, most of the time I’m pretty calm, but when I am not calm, it is very, very difficult for me to regulate my emotions, even as a full-grown adult.
I typically have to lock my body and everything to keep from reacting yelling and screaming and everything when I have powerful emotions.
I’ve gotten very good at that, but it is always painful and a struggle to not react based off of the emotions of the moment for me.
