Appearance does not denote internal experience.
I am used to being told how calm I am-----even as I stand there in total panic, unable to sense my body from the waist down....oddly, I seem to seem calmer the more panicked I am. Minor nervousness is much more noticeable.
Also, my pulse and b/p go DOWN when I am in a panic...and I have had this checked by others----go figure.
