Yes I am similar to that in a way. My dad would and still does frown upon any display of to much emotion (although he frequently displays plenty himself)
Its like he wanted me to be some type of robot that dosnt feel anything or something like that. Maybe it was his way of trying to protect me from getting hurt, just done in a very warped manner.
But yea now I find that all my emotions are more suppressed when anybody is around, although when I'm by myself I tend tend to let them out a bit more.
So yea maybe my upbringing has something to do with it
Sounds like possibly. And yes, one reason why being by yourself is nice.
I tend to go into a state of shell shock sometimes when people get angry. Like I just want to curl up in a ball, hide, and turn invisible. Sometime's so much so that I almost can't help almost instintively doing so.
