yes, people will take advantage and if you are a guy like that, your friends, parents, girls everyone will make fun of you, call you gay. I have been homeschooled mostly and have very strict religious parents so girls were a complete no-go till high school. In college, I was interested in one girl and she was kinda to me. She had a minor accident, I actually took her to the dorm and did the first aid. Seeing her hurt, there were some tears in my eyes. I actually liked her much. I was always a soft-hearted person. I did many camps for unfortunate people with my doctor's father and the red cross earlier.

But it was a complete turn-off for her, she made fun of me and ghosted me afterward.

I do animal rescue and foster them in my free time, with a basic treatment for the injured. For this sometimes it's hard to save them after hours or days of hard work. I had to bury many so far and saved many. Most other volunteers are mostly women, so I do get a lot of unpleasant comments from other people.

These days, I mostly focus on my graduate studies and actually never had a girlfriend. Friends/parents tell me to change, otherwise, no girl will ever date me, which is kinda true, as per what I have seen so far in my life. Perhaps I have to...

There's no reason to be emotional about anything reason people get emotional is because they're stuck they don't know the answer they don't know what to do and they lose control you have to stop take a deep breath and figure it out you're not trying to prove anything to anybody except for yourself

I hate the word boss I hate the word supervisor because they get hired to control whomever and most of the time when they come up on something they start getting loud they start getting emotional and out of control It's A coping mechanism that is bullshit

And if you are the boss or the supervisor of a number of people and you get this way these people are going to look at you they're not going to respect you because the way you went about doing something just makes you look foolish and not very smart

If you want to keep going up the ladder you have to become a leader and be in control of yourself first of all

Its fine to be emotional. But you before acting on releasing those emotions, you need to think about when its okay to release those emotions and who to release them around because not everyone can handle that. You also need to think about the consequences regarding that specific person and if they’ll try to take advantage of how you’re feeling. Use logic and think before you act

No, if anything we need emotions more than not. Though, by this I mean we need to be able to identify and regulate our emotions.

DaveJord · Answer

Yes, they take of advantage or your emotions, or they beat you up for lacking emotions. Accuse you of being unempathetic, or sympathetic, while they project their emotions on you... I mean it's a dog-eat-dog world, she can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

I will not say it foolish in the least to have emotions or be emotional... everything in moderation is a good, but you got to set boundaries on it somewhere.

I think the constant validation of emotions is the one reason to why we are now dealing with weaklings. We can't deal with situations because ooooh, she/he hurt my feelings so I am going to lay in bed until my emotions are better. And that means we have given more power to people because they can control how we feel.

People have never taken advantage of my emotions and I doubt they will. Despite being sensitive, I'm self-centered and can't put up with people who would try. People hurt me a lot, not because they realize the extent of my emotions, but because they don't.

BarryLiverstone · Answer

People will try to take advantage. But emotions are healthy and everyone feels them. What foolish behavior do you mean?

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

A lot of them they do but you can't change who you are, maybe just be more aware how to treat such people who doesn't appreciates you...

OddBeMe · Answer

No because emotions are involuntary thus we have no real control. I do have major empath behavior and so involuntarily walled off my emotions in some instances as self defense mechanism. But I still cry at animal rescue videos.

And just always be aware that everyone will try to take advantage of you always. Your one true love just does it least.

Yes, I am an emotional and a bit sensitive person. People took advantage of me, I was upset about by nature. But can't help it, I was born just like that. That's why god has given my everything.

I have found it useful to keep them as hidden and confined as possible and expressing them where they actually matter.

Some people will. This is why I let so few people in my kitchen (head) so to speak. Because when a person knows your motivations they know how to work you.
