No I'm not one to show emotions, whether in Therapy, with friends, or even on my own. I don't think I will either, like I've felt sad a few times, especially recently but my natural instinct is to just shut it down and keep talking through it. I learnt that at quite a young age so I suppose that's just how I am now. I've spoke about it, even panicked on a few occasions about it, the thought of losing that self control over my emotions does scare me, whether that be in sadness or anger.
I did and I suppose still do worry that by not showing emotions and coming across quite blank and hardened my T must thin, I don't care about things or something isn't really affecting me, when I fact it can be eating me up inside. Although I think she just knows that's how I am now and that even without the emotions on display I'm still feeling the hurt.
I think just as much as they are used to people crying etc, they are probably just as used to people like some of us on here that don't/can't for whatever reason.
