Are You Emotionally Reserved?

[peace-love-couture]

Are you emotionally reserved? Meaning you don't or can't express your emotions well, you don't make yourself vulnerable and are overall not emotional? Why do you think you're that way or why do you think some people are that way?

Or are you expressive and wear your heart/emotions on your sleeve? Why do you think you're that way?

I'm emotionally reserved and I don't allow myself to be vulnerable around others. The emotion I'm best at expressing is probably anger or disappointment and irritation. The negatives. I'm definitely not good at expressing positive emotions. But overall, I'm pretty emotionless and I tend to show no emotions, even when I'm super excited and happy.

I'm a little bit of both. I'm expressive of my emotions, but my emotions in general are pretty pleasant. Angry burger is basically what the average person acts like when they wake up on the wrong side of bed, I just get a little grouchy.

I don't mind telling people that I'm angry, or that I'm annoyed, or extremely sad, and I have no issues communicating the thoughts on the issue, but the emotion of being sad or angry never compute well, so people really wouldn't be able to tell. When it comes to sad/negative emotions, I don't physically express them. But when it comes to positive emotions, I express them well both verbally and physically.

I'm somewhat emotionally reserved, but a little differently from the way you are. I find it more difficult to express negative emotions than the positive ones. I'll smile and be pleasant with people, and I can show excitement and happiness, but it's more difficult for me to express anger, resentment, annoyance, sadness, etc. While displaying positive emotions I keep some emotional distance between myself and everyone else, but with negative emotions I keep *everything* to myself. Exceptions of course are when I'm very close to someone and feel comfortable enough talking to them seriously about whatever issue or emotion I'm dealing with.

Im usually the last person to ask for help emotionally. I usually feel like I bother people if I ask too many questions, or if I start to get too emotional. There never seems to be a "right time" to discuss how I feel, and it feels like when I do bring it up, it will bring everyone down. I usually just try to deal with it on my own. I avoid conflict with people I love for fear they will leave me. I can be insanely negative.

[ihatework]

yeah, I'm definitely like that too. it takes a lot for me to show real emotion on the outside, even when I'm happy I don't look like it. I've always been that way, even as a kid and it would throw my parents off sometimes.

[Mr_Solo_Dolo]

I wear my heart on my sleeve. I don't really know why I'm like this but I don't really like it but I think it's better than not being able to show any emotions at all.

Are you emotionally reserved? Meaning you don't or can't express your emotions well, you don't make yourself vulnerable and are overall not emotional? Why do you think you're that way or why do you think some people are that way?

Normally, I don't express my emotions unless asked. I can articulate exactly how I feel, but I choose not to because I really hate making things about me and I feel like I do that all the time, so I try best not to.

Or are you expressive and wear your heart/emotions on your sleeve? Why do you think you're that way?

I use to be that way I think. For instance, a person could tell if I was unhappy even if I wasn't talking. Or they could see when I was upset.

I've learned to control that. I guess I matured.

I'm definitely emotionally reserved by nature. I'm actually a pretty reserved person in general. I will have my bad and depressed moods, sure, but that's only when something is bothering me.

Strangers have told me before that I don't smile enough but whatever. My mom and sisters have told me that I'm good at being 'heartless' because I'm good at not caring when it comes to guy stuff, I try not to get swept up in a fantasy is all. And when my sisters both read Burned they said they bawled but I didn't really think it was that sad...lol.

I'm very emotionally reserved, I'm good at keeping a poker face, people don't need to know how I feel so they can try to manipulate me. I like to be in control of situations so I only show my emotions if they're not vulnerable. I'll show happiness and sometimes anger, but not anything that someone would be able to read me with or take advantage

[tohrment]

Yep, definitely. I'm pretty good at interpreting other peoples emotions and behavior , but I am terrible at expressing my own and feel very uncomfortable doing so. People often think I'm "cold" and even a little insensitive. I just really don't like talking about emotions and they aren't strong enough to affect my behavior . It's kinda like everything is just luke warm to me. The only positive emotion that I express well is probably humour.

[iveth]

i am very emotionally reserved. I feel that this way its better. I laugh a lot though and smile but when someone just gets me upset or sad or something I tend to turn into a stone and show no emotions. people confuse this with cold hearted but I do care just I rather not be vulnerable and keep things to myself.

[decentusername]

I am very emotionally reserved.

I don't know why.

Well I do know but I can't be bothered to explain it.

[slipslender]

hmmm... I know I feel things, not a robot :p but I guess I try to keep as much of it to myself as possible... if I trust the person, I'll open myself up more, but I really don't like to.

[youmakemyheartbeat]

I don't wear my heart on my sleeve but I am emotional to those who know me. I think I'm more excitable than emotional.

[mike5150]

I am that way. I always never really felt like I could express my emotions because of certain things that had happend when I grew up. It makes it really hard to make friends.

[YobootyStank]

I have a hard time opening up to people , I hate showing people signs of sadness because I think its a sign of weakness :/

[InMyHeart]

yes. even though I'm very emotional, I don't show others. I don't want others to see how easily I can be hurt, that way they won't hurt me (or at least won't know when they do.)

[Blaxican619]

Haha I'm like the opposite of you. 8D

I just act like a clown and laugh a lot because it helps reduce stress.

Although if I am around people I don't know I am actually pretty quiet and reserved.

[The_Supid_Genius]

Girls have trained me to keep my feelings either hidden or absent.

[jimmy217]

i don't really show my emotions because they aren't strong. Id express them if I had them though

[cutebutevil]

Well I'm more emotionally reservered I guess, I don't know why tho iv just always been this way.

[stevo2]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It really depends on my mood.

[Brando]

You're one positive cookie!

:D

[CaddyDaddy007]

I believe men and women ought to value both being able to show and share their emotions with each other. It’s just not fair not to be.

[Cuddle_Muffin]

never.

[peace-love-couture]

Never?...

[Cuddle_Muffin]

nope. I show all emotions...but I still can hide feelings.

[Ezmotts]

Yap, got a great poker face.

[SnackG]

Yeah I'm really emotionally reserved.

[SnackG]

Oh and I'm probably that way because of how laidback I am. I don't like to be bitchy or whiny or cause drama.

[Dom163]

Yeah I have my sh*t locked down

[someonerandom]

yes and no,

I can't explain tho :/

[secondbestkiller]

Yeah, unfortunately.

[IN5AN1TY]

I am, Too much.
