#12: Expressing Emotions
What’s up with people who don’t show any emotion? Are they robots? Aliens? Superheroes? Well, according to body language experts, people who express zero emotion may actually be in complete control of their emotions. So that cold colleague of yours might be an emotional intelligence genius after all!
When we express emotions, we’re revealing a part of ourselves to the outside world. We’re showing our vulnerability, our fears, our desires, and our joys. But when we suppress our emotions, we’re hiding a part of ourselves away. It can be a sign of self-control, discipline, or even a lack of trust.
