I’m not good with masking my emotions sometimes, although I do try to process the things before I take any action.

My face and body language on the other hand can reflect what I’m going through at the moment.

Are you aware of any ways to control yourself under difficult situations (apart from things like meditation) ?

    Emotional self control, I guess. Not sure what control specifically over physical emotional expression would be called. I too am interested to know more, if any behavioral science people are here.

    I find it easy to suppress enotional indicators, but I am not a very excitable person when I don’t want to be. I just sort of compartmentalize things, and try to only give them the energy I want to. First process, then react.

    EDIT: There are some exceptions. Example: I will cry at particularly emotional scenes in movies, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
