How can I stop being upset about dumb things that don't really matter?

I don't want to care. It's not a big deal. But I can't help it.

Today, my dad turned our internet off and I got really sad. I like routine and we just moved, so it was completely gone.

I'm weird. I don't know why.

You are fine, not weird. Others are just like you... needing a fixed routine or having a bit of a melt down when routine is changed. What matters to you is important and not dumb. We shouldn't all try to be the same and we can't all care about the same things.
You're okay... as you grow a little older, you may even start to deal better with changes in routine... I know someone who is quite a bit like you and now... changes and all don't bother him so much. :)

@SW-User I know, but I just don't want anyone to think I'm spoilt and having a tantrum. It's different.
My mum told me the same thing. That I would get a little better with my emotions when I'm older, but I don't know.
Thank you for being kind. 😊
