Why is it that the word "emotional" is only used to describe negative emotions?

Asked by KatawaGrey (21483points) July 13th, 2011

Whenever someone calls someone else emotional, it is usually in reference to negative emotions such as anger and sadness. No one ever refers to someone is overly happy or excited as emotional.

Can the collective explain to me why?
