I rarely express my emotions, simply because I don't feel anything that I need to express. People often mistaken my silence as anger or just being rude, while in reality I simply have nothing to say. Other times, when I'm sad or angry, I keep to myself because I don't feel comfortable showing my emotions to others. When I'm forced to show or talk about these two emotions, they almost always mix each other up (feeling sad - act angry, feeling angry - start crying) Should I be feeling things more? I mean, I just can't make up emotions I don't feel just to appease others. At the same time though, is this normal? And how do I get more comfortable talking about them to people without screwing them up?
