Are you emotional

Ok :khums:

Re: Are you emotional

InshAllah! My prayers are with you my ganja friend. :hehe:

Re: Are you emotional

Well the difference is I can control them. Even if their is a storm inside me, I can manage to keep a straight face. I won't go cry to a friend about it or go to my mom, I've just learned to deal it on my own. It's just the effects of the stereotypes I think, I just can't stand someone thinking that I am weak because I am a female.

Re: Are you emotional

It was too Chinese…you put a hat on it n everything! I miss him! :frowning:

Re: Are you emotional

so you want to beat the stereotype of crying woman??

well…if you can handle them on your own… doesn’t that mean you’re NOT EXTREMELY emotional? :konfused:

Re: Are you emotional

It was not Chinese and definitely not a him :mad:

You just made it Chinese and a Him :snooty:

Re: Are you emotional

No

Re: Are you emotional

Great now i’m confused… but I do* feel *the emotions, my heart takes over my brain when making decisions and stuff… don’t these kind of things make you emotional. I am looking at it from one’s tendency to be inclined more towards the emotional side or the logical side… not in the manner of how one shows emotions…

Lol! That happens to many people actually - the emotions get caught up in your throat.

Re: Are you emotional

:smack:…you are a woman..obviously you will be driven by emotions more than rationale…but the question being asked was about ‘expressing’ them…not the amount/quantity/strength of emotions inside (thats what i understood anyways) …here was the question..

Re: Are you emotional

gehehe i am the drama queen. i cry over anything and everuthing:snooty: now ia m an expert at crying

Re: Are you emotional

Emotions are of various kinds. When I'm angry, depending on who I'm with, I either swear, rant, kick or break stuff (the latter two during football matches only). My anger is very momentary and evaporates some ten minutes later. When I'm hurt, I say nothing, I find it hard to keep my voice from breaking and I have to fight hard to keep tears from my eyes. When I'm happy, I laugh at the stupidest jokes.

Re: Are you emotional

I think it’s more about personality than gender… some women are very logical… more like ice cold when it comes to emotions… and some men are so so emotional.
Yes I understood the question, my answer was no - regarding how people see me. But then I am aware that I just don’t express it in front of others, but myself. Argggggh why is all this so complicated now

PS: anger is one exception for me when it comes to expressing - not short tempered but i get annoyed easily :vivo:

Re: Are you emotional

hmmm i am not emotional. i dont like to express my feelings. i tend to hide them.

Re: Are you emotional

ok ok....but if there are 'some' exceptions doesn't mean that generality of the principle is compromised..some things hold true

[obviously you will disagree with it.....citing it as something to degrade women...but i know many women who accept it and are proud of their emotionalness if thats a word]

I can see that :D

Re: Are you emotional

I agree, I am proud of such women too... i just never grew up to be like them. shrug
And no that's not a word unless it's neologism. :p

Re: Are you emotional

same here! :k:

Re: Are you emotional

:chai: hmm .. interesting comments Gupshuppers (<–the spell check wants me to make it grasshopper)

I am usually aware of my emotions, I observe them closely, but I never let them drive my decision making.

Re: Are you emotional

I do get emotional often. When i'm sad I cry, when i'm angry I go quiet.. I was never a very emotional person before though it would take a lot to make me cry.

Re: Are you emotional

Nope.

Re: Are you emotional

is it our fault that girls since childhood were allowed to show as much emotion as possible and boys were told to suck it up and be brave lil boys.

shak,
by the way what's the difference between showing feelings and being emotional? i thought that would be the same thing.
