Are you good at hiding your feelings?

Are you good at hiding your feelings such as anger and sadness from the people you love?

 

[PGen98]

I used to be, I was extremely stoic and could bury everything. Now it flows out of me whether I want it to or not. Still learning how to control my emotions all over again, thanks, hormones!

Hell no!...people can read me like a book. ( a cheap $3.99 paperback novel) If I don't feel good I will make sure the whole world hears about it. It makes absolutely no difference at all whether they want to her about it or not...they are going to!

not at all

if I feel something, or feel a certain way towards someone, then I have to say it

I can't do the whole mask thing. doesn't work for me

I’m not an emotional person I rarely feel emotions because of schizophrenia

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Yeah I think I can. Although some people who really know me well can figure out if somethings not right.

From my husband, no, but my father and brother or anyone else yes. For reasons, at least in my experiences with my family(everyone outside of my dude) the world goes around and around. It doesn't matter how I am feeling or I should say it wouldn't make a difference, it would just be another Monday and whatever I'm going through I would be expected to get over. I remember I called my dad because I found out my mom had died. He told me he was sorry but people die all the time so yeah.

I am so sorry to hear that and for your loss. That is horrible. (I wanted to add a reaction, like Care, or something, but I have no friggin idea how the shit works.. sorry.. )

And yeah, I don't have a poker face when it comes to my feelings, if I am pissed, happy or sad, there is no need to guess because I will tell you as such and why.. but I do have this really uncanny ability to stay calm during the most heated of arguments, and it seems to annoy the shit out of those who try to piss me off or gaslight me in an argument by flooding the zone with bullshit.

They do this as an attempt to distract me by putting me on the defensive regarding their bullshit in a vain effort to get me to cede my position. If I am wrong, then bring your facts saying as such, to support your argument, don't try to gaslight me by saying stuff that is laughably false just because your argument has more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese. If the facts support your point, and I agree, then consider me corrected. I am not afraid to be wrong and have often changed my mind when given new information or a different perspective, but you can only do that by respecting the person you disagree with and not insulting their intelligence.

Not sure if this seems like a poker face.. but I figured that it might be..

Don't worry, it's all good. I appreciate your words, thank you.

Well, I don't have a lot of emotion to begin with. And only those who I have been close to for a number of years can tell if the emotions I do have are anything other than baseline.

Yeah, I'm pretty good at it. My mom is the kind of person to wear her heart on her sleeve and she's more emotional in terms of stress/sadness. My dad has quite the temper and is quick to blow up. Kind of on the polar opposite ends of the stick. When my mom remarried, her husband was a manipulative and disgusting piece of shit and the only way for me to get through it was to keep my mouth shut. I managed and have become quite adept at managing my emotions from these specific examples. Although I do express myself differently in certain situations and with different people.
