I definitely have the shaking (trembling, foot shaking out of control) thing.

Oh this is definitely me. I recall my mother saying how I had such a "tender" heart (her way of calling me wuss). Which my older brother attempted to beat out of me (he HATED that part of me).
As for the using humor to deflect - I think that is a self defense thing that we learn growing up - when society gives us disapproval (verbal or non-verbal) of how we express our emotions.

I am the father of two girls (19 & 15) and if we watch a movie together - it will always be me who is the first to cry at the sad parts..... Nearly 50 years old and it is *me* who is the drama queen.
