Do you have trouble expressing emotions?

[InTheAirTonight]

From a young age people tell me I have no emotions. Or I'm too quiet. It's basically the cause of all my problems socially. And I'm too sensitive to what others say about me. I don't want to live if I'm a dead robot inside.

In person I do. I have a difficult time showing negative emotions around others and tend to, usually, keep a brave and happy face even when I'm dying inside. When it does come out, it's usually in a rather impulsive and volatile manner from it building up and later causes embarrassment and shame. However, I can express my emotions thoroughly and lucidly in writing and I really do have very strong and deep emotions, even if I tend to come off as incredibly nonchalant most of the time. I'm also very sensitive to what others say about me or treat me. I absolutely can't handle people being rude or snappy toward me whatsoever. It's the one thing that will cause me to snap back.
