    i tend to keep happiness and sadness inside, but i just can never manage to control my anger and other strong emotions. i explode to my friends on a daily basis (theyre really good friends) and my anger comes out randomly, usually is being directed at the student that caused it in the first place. which is very bad usually

    Without meds I'm extremely stoic and un-expressive (inside and out) most of the time.
    On meds (current ones anyway) I bounce back and forth between extremely expressive/happy and stoic.

    Usually.

    I do have to keep a check on Anger, though, sometimes. As well as Apathy. Those two, like to come out, in sharp comments or snappy comebacks. But other than filtering those down, I'm usually just however I am, whenever and wherever I need to.

    I don't, I usually just keep it to myself. Most of the time I have resting bitch face. So yeah, I may seem emotionless.

    I do, mostly, except for the ones which would upset who I'm talking to, like my sometimes IMMENSE depression, and anger at whoever's talking.

    I ticked I do, but I surpress some feelings.

    I am an intovert and I supress some of my feelings. I tend to keep it all inside, I need to have something for myself. But mostly it kills me slowly... I can explode. Most of the time people say that I look mad, serious or I have some kind of 'killer' gaze lol. I think I can look really cold, but the case might be my dreamy nature, I think a lot, like, a different world inside my head.

    But I can be very very omotional on the outside and show it in all ways. I am a little bit of powder-keg. I can get angry really easily, I can get hurt in a second, I can become stubborn and do not listen to anybody. I hate it rly.

    Most of the time I keep my feelings inside me. But if someone will ask I won't deny it.

    I tend to keep my emotions inside of me. When I do release them, usually they just come as actions rather than words.

    It depends on who I'm expressing them to. Generally, if I have a problem with someone, I will say so, or if someone asks how I feel about something, I will say how I feel, though I may omit certain things. If I need someone to vent to, it is only to someone I've placed a lot of trust in. I don't do so well with therapists, or psychologists, as I feel they pry into places where they aren't wanted. I can usually convince them that I'm alright, though. Yes, I have trust issues.

    With my friends I normally express my feelings quite openly. With my family I find it more difficult, but that's not because I expect them to react negatively to my feelings, but because I just feel uncomfortable telling them how I feel.

    If by "feeling" you mean "opinion about something ", I'm likely to tell anyone who asks.
    There are some things I like to keep to myself, and I'll leave it at that.

    I'm rather introvert, especially to strangers.
    Only to close friends and family do I tend to show my feelings.
    Hapiness and anger being the most frequent, sadness almost never, unless I've reached my limit and can't take it any more.

    I mean anger, sadness, happiness, the way you feel at the moment. And sometimes an opinion about something has a lot to do with these feelings.

    Personally, I always express myself, which is not always a good thing. As said before, people don't always appreciate my honesty.

    I almost never express my feelings in real life. I am a little bit more open online, though, than in real life, at least when it comes to my "feelings".

    So far the only one that gets to know of my feelings is the shrink. But in my day to day life I'm mostly silent about everything. I do share my concerns, if anyone asks, but beyond basic conversation, nothing escapes my head. Only with a very restricted group of friends I let myself loose, but even then, most of my emotions remain silent.

    I've been told that I have a calm demeanor and a stoic presence. I don't actively try to suppress my emotions, but I do try to stay collected and composed. I'm not a touchy-feely person -- I don't talk about my feelings very often, and I don't really express emotional responses. But communication is incredibly important to me, so I do talk about my thoughts and whatever is on my mind. I might tell someone what I'm feeling, like whether I'm sad or excited, but I don't usually express it outwardly. It's just never come naturally to me.

    I wonder if some people find it easier to express their feelings using the written word?

    Not really. I hate those painfully awkward conversations about feelings and emotions, so I tend to present myself as always being in a neutral/happy mood regardless of how I might really feel. Also, I'm kind of one of those naturally stony people so it's fairly easy to hide my feelings :dry: I'm pretty much always calm and level-headed and haven't cried or anything like that in a very long time (we're talking many, many years!) - despite my best efforts. Sometimes I think it must be nice to be a really expressive, emotionally charged person!
