When I'm upset or mad about something.
I've been broken before, so that unconditional love and trust there should be in a long-term relationship.
I won't have trouble expressing any emotion unless there is any reason for me to feel that it is invalid in any way. If I feel at fault for anything, or that my feelings are silly, irrational or insignificant, then I'm unwilling to share them.
My hurt. For example I feel hurt that I cannot please him anymore . I ruin everything. I always cause a fight or an argument. Always. He was right. At this point I feel like a piece of shit because I have nothing to offer him. He was happier with out me. I really should just disappear.
I don't think any, but I definitely find myself repressing a lot. Sometimes I don't think my partner is comfortable with my emotionally expressing myself so I would rather just compartmentalize (especially the bad stuff).
Frustration. When I'm frustrated it's usually written all over my face but I can't seem to fun the words to talk about it or work through it. It's really a road block for me and makes me feel lonely.
Anger/ rage. I feel angry A lot due to the stuff in my past. I get scared if I let it out I won't be able to control it and it will get aimed at completely the wrong person ... my partner. Saying that I have had a couple of rage infused moments in front of him and he admitted to me he just can't take me seriously (I tend to look like a a cute 4 year old having a tantrum haha!)
Regret. It's my pride that doesn't allow me to emote so I express it by being angry
When im feeling alone and when im broke...
When I feel hurt. I know exactly what I want to say in my mind but I can't get anything out when asked. I shut down
Is enthusiasm an emotion?

Anger and/ or hurt. I either bottle up or explode. There's no happy medium
Love.
Sadness I don't tell anyone :)
None. I'm a very open, expressive person. If I'm close to you, I'm like an open book. Unfortunately, I think I express too much sometimes.
