    Are you an emotionally expressive person? Generally I'm not, though I do have my moments. Emotions are obviously part of what makes us human, so it is probably unhealthy to suppress them, though being a drama queen is probably not ideal either. In particular I very rarely get angry for some reason, which is maybe unusual for men.

    Normally i'm calm and nonchalant. But even with strong emotions i don't like to be expressive about it with others unless i have a deep connection or trust with them. Could be because i'm introverted and people have tried using my emotions against me. So i don't show when i'm hurt or angry. Even when i'm overflowing with joy i'll stay away from certain people. I'm more expressive in writing.

    I am not really an emotional person, but if you piss me off you will know it.

    I'm very open. Suits me much better than the alternative. I wish i was this open and (yes, toots own horn) balanced in my teens ( in regards of outing strong emotions like anger i guess i was more emotional back then. Like, it got out 'explosively' more often after suppressing such feelings for too long).
    Ah well, could have been far worse too :D

    Its a form of humor. Humor influences emotion, but isn't an emotion on itself

    Yes, I'm very emotional and very expressive.

    I'm one of those people who cry at, like, every movie. There's almost always one scene that'll make me go, "Awwww..." and tear up. But I also laugh out loud during the same movie.

    I don't like to express vulnerability around others, even the ones I'm close to.

    I am, but I'm pretty good at faking sunny and happy at work. One of my regulars still laughs about one day he and his co-worker came through drive-thru and asked me how my day was and I told them with my cheery work expression and voice, "Oh, it's been a bad day!" My co-workers get to hear it when I'm pissed off, though

    emotion is a dangerous thing.
    i'm much too paranoid to ever trust it.

    i realize star trek's 'vulcans' are a fantasy,
    but they DO seem to get along just fine without it.

    i don't deny they exist, nor that i experience them,
    i'm not a vulcan. i'm lananran.
    we don't deny them. we just don't trust them.

    sometimes you have to sound pissed off for some people to hear you.
    that's another thing.
    but even that, i don't like the way it feels to have to do so.

    being mad, gives me a sad.
    love makes my fly in the sky,
    but i can't just sit up there,
    it makes me want to make things,
    and i don't mean babies.
    (though of course the practice is fun too)

    i love being hugged, but then my mind wanders,
    i get impatient to be creatively you know, designing things,
    houses, villages, little trains, even different ways for non-humans to look.

    all of which probably makes me not very useful to anyone who wants to live in their emotions,
    or feels themselves fated to do so.

    Not at all, really. I'm kind of known for my calm demeanor--I think it kind of intimidates people because they tend to project their feelings onto me.

    Inwardly, though, I'm fairly emotional. I don't like to broadcast it.

    When will I walk out of my place and one day witness what goes through my shirt.

    Not good to see what does, but comforting fast in its way.

    Welcome to life.

    life is what all of us together make it.
    usually by things we don't think about,
    but have a responsibility,
    even to our own experiencing of it,
    to do so.

    yes its statistical, so we can't expect everything to follow logically from what we alone as each individual do,
    but there is nothing else, then taken all together what each of us do, that makes it, the social construct part of it,
    what and how we experience of it.

    (and that's just the thing, that emotions, and people who tell you to hate logic and live in them, makes us forget)

    I tend to express happy emotions. I'm still not very good at doing so with angry or sad ones though.
