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) ?
I can’t speak for everyone but I’ve spent my entire life masking my depression so I’ve gotten pretty good at masking in general. It’s just practice.
