How Far Do You Keep Your Emotions In Check?

Question:
Hmm. My reason for asking this is because I'm kinda straightforward in showing my moods. As in I don't hide my emotions, even in public. Sad--> cry, Angry--> yell, Happy--> skip around and shriek
Yeah... I know I sound a little kiddish-hyperactive-mad. But when none of the above 3 is in place, I jus kinda space out... like expressionless, zombie-like... and really quiet.
My best friend is kinda different. She tells me that she keeps her feelings in check and only lets her guard down in privacy. For her, Sad--> forced smile... Angry--> grave look.... Happy --> big smiles (even if she's bursting with joy). But without those 3, she's jus regular... nice, chatty and cheerful.
I kinda admire her. Cos she keeps herself so well in check. Aish. (Actually, I thought that was one of the hallmarks of a control freak... hmm)
Am I weird or are there ppl like me? Or do I have bipolar? @_@
Answer:
I don't really..have much emotion to show haha xP
Generally calm and bored.
Answer:
I have seen ppl like that. And I always wondered why. No offence meant. But, why are you erm... detached?
Answer:
I'm not. I just don't have much on my mind (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I don't understand why people think these people are closed off from other people and keep emotions to themselves.
It's not like they always have things to hide.
Answer:
I'm a very emotional person.
I do keep my emotions in check in front of people.
No matter how much I want to cry I usually hold it in.
Even though I did bust out and cry after riding the mummy ride at Universal Studios.
I did that alot that year though.
Answer:
I try not to show my emotions too much to the public. Like if I'm sad, I try not to be sad in front of people. I guess I'm kinda like your friends too. I find it immature if people cry to get attention or something because I have friends who do that. However, if you cry because you're really sad then do cry. It's not good to keep it all in.
Answer:


im very transparent person. but i can put my patience to extend to its limits sometimes. i easily get mad and i easily calm down. that's all about it.

Answer:
i show my emotions a lot.. i guess becuz im very talkative that i dont really care what i do.. im not easily embarrased.. and usually when i get mad.. i cry really easy..
Answer:
i keep my emotions in check in public. when i'm alone then i just completely
lash out and cry or w/e.
except for when i'm happy. then i'm like you XD
i shriek and skip around too. i smile a lot and i hug everyone.
when i'm sad i pretty much show no expression. i try my best not to cry (unless it's like a movie or something.
but i'm talking about when i'm actually sad)
there's only been a couple times when i couldn't hold it in. it's kinda nice cuz i like my friends
comforting me. but i also don't like the attention sometimes cuz they'll ask me what's wrong and
most of the time i don't like talking about w/e it is.
and when i'm angry i just get annoyed at everyone and everything.
Answer:
I keep my emotions in check...
I really dont show any signs of my emotions like you said,
im kinda like a zombie i just stare and dont smile.
But when i need to i will smile. Im mostly a person you could go to for comfert.
Im like the strong person withen my friends //group of us.
When im alone i cry non stop,
which happens mostly at home, though i dont want my parents to see either.
My sisters know about most of my problems but you know i dont brake down in front of them.
So yea i keep to myself my emotions are in check.
But when i tick it becomes really surprising towards otheres cus theyve never seen me that way before.
Answer:
i usually tend to hide if something's bothering me or if i'm sad but i don't think i'm good at hiding it =/ i would just say i'm thinking about something and just leave it at that. not too much information and it's not a lie. but if i really need to talk to someone about it, then i would too. when i'm happy.. i would show it and spread my happiness.
Answer:
I don't show my emotions in public.
The only emotions I really show in public is when I'm happy or if someone makes me really pissed.
But like sad emotions and stuff, usually never. My best friend has never seen me cry. haha
Men don't have emotions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (jkjk)
Answer:
I don't really show my emotions in public. I only show that I'm happy, but other than that, I keep it to myself and try not to show it. :3
Answer:
in front of my parents, i'm really really straight forward in showing my emotions.. if i was mad, i would scream and shout and jump and throw things around (_ can't help it..). if i was sad, i would cry and stuff.
but it's entirely different when i'm with other people outside of my family. i usually just stay calm at all times, unless i'm realy really angry or something.
Answer:
i'm not the type to hold in my feelings
Answer:
I try to keep my emotions in check when with friends but some of them can see right thru me. The only ppl I'm emotionally open with are my bf and family.

I'm like that. If I'm happy, I smile like crazy. Sadness means crying like crazy. then angry means punching someone. hahahahaha, and if I just feel bored I'm just like ...
I wonder if I'm bi-polar too somtimes. actually, a few minutes ago, I was thinking about it. xD

Answer:
i try to keep my emotions in check
but it doesn't always work
Answer:
I'm pretty straight foward with my emotions. Even though I try to hide them in public sometimes I just can't.
Just two weeks ago I got really pissed at a friend and stormed down the streets in tears of anger and screamed, yelled, and cursed at the top of my lungs while many many people looked on. It was pretty bad...
but it's good to let emotions out. That way you don't have to bottle everything up. I tend to be more at peace that way and get over things easier.
Answer:
i'm pretty emotional.
if i'm happy, you can tell.i'm really smiley
if i'm sad, i can't help but cry.i'm quiet and i might cry if i can't handle it
if i'm angry, i don't really yell, but my face is expressionless and i'm quiet
but sometimes, if i really have to hold it in because of reasons..i hold it in.
it actually really depends on the OTHER PERSON i'm with..if i'm comfortable with letting my emotions go.
