I let my emotions out with words. Used to use actions, get angry. Don't do that any more. Wasted time and energy.

It's about trust for many, and often ties in with insecurities of one sort or another, such as fear of rejection or invalidation.

I'm very open and always express my feelings. I don't believe this is always been a good thing. I think I could've developed some very special relationships if I just kept some of my thoughts to myself. I also think people don't express their emotions sometimes out of fear of rejection. I was that way when I was young. When I got older, I just don't care what people think. If I like you I'm going to tell you!

It’s kinda hard for men of my generation to show their feelings. We were still taught that the only acceptable emotions to express is happy or angry. And don’t be to happy. I’m getting better at showing my emotions but it’s not easy. I’m trying not to teach my son to be like that.

Certain emotions such as anger are difficult to control, and the loss of control may lead to behavior that is contray to our normal beliefs, compeling us to act irrationally, as in a fit of rage.

1. What is the state of mind of an angry person
2. Why are some people more prone to anger
3. What grounds anger

Aristotle though these categories apply to all emotions and that self control is a virtue which can be taught

Showing feelings and emotions to others is revealing weaknesses. I'm an emotional person because I'm an empath. It's hard for me to shut my emotions off. I can hide them if I'm dealing with a person I don't know very well or I despise.
