I think there's a difference between passionate and emotional. If you have passion that comes from within, people tend to be attracted to that. If you're purely emotional and reactive, and without giving due process to your emotions, people tend to pull away, and as FeelingGreat said, it becomes like the boy crying wolf after a while
