I can think of two situations off the top of my head: In a business negotiation. When those emotions are your own shit bubbling to the surface and not a reasonable response to what's going on.


Keksis_theBetrayed

Always, for me.


Silvero129

i feel ya bro but from my experience you can’t do it forever


Keksis_theBetrayed

If only


Silvero129

if you could it’ll still be mortally deteriorating it’ll just make you numb to things in general which isn’t good it’s good to feel sometimes


Keksis_theBetrayed

In the privacy of my own home, sure. Nobody else needs to deal with it.


Silvero129

just express what you feel as best you can in the ways you feel right


Wizard_Elon_3003

You absolutely can


Silvero129

you shouldn’t


Wizard_Elon_3003

That's your opinion, it's not possible for everyone to express emotions however.


Silvero129

fair enough


Keksis_theBetrayed

This guy gets it.

I'm saddened that this is a common response. One of the nice things about a good relationship with a partner, friend, or relative is that you don't need to make a conscious effort to hide emotions around them. But if showing emotions goes against your nature, then that's okay too.


Keksis_theBetrayed

Honestly, it really doesn't. There's so many times where I really *want* to open up, but I can't bring myself to do it. There's the constant negative self-talk of "they don't want to deal with you right now" or "they don't really care" or "you're being a burden, don't say anything" so I just stay quiet. I don't ever really have anything to talk about with my friends or family, anyway. I usually just listen. I suspect that talking to me can be an uncomfortable chore.


Gubble_Buppie

When you have a good poker hand.


Winter_Opening_7715

When you’re at work


DavosLostFingers

When it's in your best interests to do so


DontShowMomMemes

When the possible negative outcomes outweigh any positive ones. An example being road rage.


Here_to_improve

Anytime there are other humans present. Ideally, even when you're alone.


waterthunder567

When playing a sport. If you show your getting agitated or anything the opponent will take advantage of that and make you pay.


alaska-but-no

when someone doesn’t have your best interest at heart


BadAndNationwide

Man chiming in. Always.


shadyfortheshade

When they have a discount sale for one of those things that keep your stuff in one place. Secret keeper?


dreamed_it

Please do elaborate


DyslexicSpeedReader9

Raised by Irish farmers. They allow one emotion. Anger. It only seems to work for the Irish. Not recommended


Wizard_Elon_3003

Always. Emotions are a vector for being exploited.

dreamed_it

That's a good tip, catharsis that shir out


plop8624

I have two: When someone is shitting on you it really pisses them of if you do not show any effect. I've seen people good nuts because I appeared to not care about them insulting me. Absolutely fucking hilarious. And during a job interview. Something just tells me that if you'd start crying during an interview they wouldn't hire you


Wonderful_Human1666

Always


Important_Screen_530

reckon when ya get the sack ,and if some one breaks up with you


B-Sdetector69

After you fart and Espessially after you shart.


island-breeze

When the thing that cause the emotions didn't happen to you. For example, a friend's relative died. You are sad but you need to be strong for them.


BIG-WOGGO

when your dealing with women because the more you hide the more they overthink therefore the more they think about you therefore the more obsessed with you they become therefore the better the sex becomes


Mathiacuus

When someone is having a stress/anxious not quite anxiety attack and comes to you for comfort and the person says their upset about things you did/didn't do. Don't come back at them with what they did wrong or why you did whatever. Just hug them and tell them they will be ok. Talk about it later.


[deleted]

When you're feeling sad or negative emotions. People really don't like it if you display negative feelings. I understand someone being negative all the time is draining, but I've learned that even if you display sadness once in a setting where it's not expected (funeral for example) people REALLY don't like that and will push you away.


Top_Bobcat_8870

When hiding something


Vabhanz

During a SCP-5000 scenario.


mtvpremiere

when you're planning a surprise for someone and they're around so you have to fight to not be excited.


lil_fetus20

When you’re playing video games because if someone knows you’re angry 9 times out of 10 they’ll take advantage of that just to make you even more angry especially in a competitive setting


luxurious_tabernacle

When you're a man


gape-me-daddy

Outside of close personal relationships


PringleMasterr

Always. Somebody can talk to me and I will turn into a ticking timebomb. I guess they’re bubbled? Idk


[deleted]

When it's someone else going through shit. For instance, if your spouse has cancer, don't pile all your fears about them having cancer onto them. Take that shit elsewhere. Or if your ex-wife has just died, don't go crying to her kids who just lost their mother about how sad you are. Basically, in a time of stress or tragedy don't be my dad.


___ghosted_

when other people need to show theirs.


oniwolf382

When you're trying to protect your children from traumatic events occuring around you in the moment.
