What are your reactions to the most basic feelings? Like... when you're angry what do you do to show it? And when you're happy how do you demonstrate that to the world? Or when you're sad, disappointed, cheerful, amused... everyday we react to events in some ways to show what our real feelings are. Are you the type of person who keeps feelings hidden and always shows the same face to the world or are you able to show your true self through clear reactions?

To be honest it really depends on the situation, like if im at college and im angry im not likely to really show it, i try not to show anger infront of people unless they are the reason for it. As for feeling sad i just tend to be quiet and thoughtful. Really depends on the situation for me tho.

Whne I'm really mad I get upset and cry usually, I guess I don't know how to handle being mad so my eyes water and I just cry! It's so weak and funny though! I may kick things as I cry too!

when I'm happy, which i usually am, I smile and laugh a lot, so I'm always laughing, haha! SEE!! But sometimes something will happen and I'll still be smiling an hour later, even if I'm alone! I also hope that maybe if someone sees me smiling it'll make them smile too, or at least laugh at me.

If I'm sad I cry too, or I'm ust really quiet and grumpy. I dont get sad or mad very often, but when I do, I guess i cry a lot... haha!

How about you Hylas?!

i try not to show people how i really feel, jsut my way of doin things

I usually show my feelings, especially when I'm pissed off or unhappy, because I can't really hide when I'm not satisfied. With happiness or joy I can hide more, because I can be that way only inside myself. Usually I tend to not be to extreme though, and I control myself when I'm with strangers or people I don't know well. So I show how I feel but not in a very extreme manner.

It depends on the situation. In front of people I don't trust much I try to not give them many ways to see if I'm upset or saddened by something. I want to seem always in possession of my faculties. When I'm around friends, I have no problems in showing my true feelings, unless I'm angry at them and I try to seem superior. Probably this is very wrong because trying to look superior when you're angry will only increase your anger and dislike towards a person. But as a matter of fact, when you're angry you're not able to behave always as a person who does things right.

Happiness is different. I'm more natural when I'm happy because I feel at ease, so I always show how I feel in this case, and I'm content if it helps somebody else who's close to me to feel that way as well. In fact I think happiness is a contagious feeling.

how do i react?.. i'm pretty much like Gadzoox..(except the usually happy part... i'm more usually sad..)so if i get angry or really mad at someone or about something i cry..if i'm sad normally i cry as well..but i don't like to show it though, only the people who i really trust see that side of me..to others i just choose to hide it..and when i'm happy well i'll show it to anyone who's around me ..i smile and laugh a lot..i'm really silly when i'm in a happy mood ^_^ ..

That can end up in depression some cases.

When im angery I used to punch and kick things, until I wnet to anger mangerment and got better I still do get p*ssed off and speak my mind but I handle angor with words not actions most of the time.

Happy, im happy, all excited like when you buy something new, work hard and get something back.

Unhappy I just feel sorry for myself and try and do something forgive and forget.
