Being upset... I tend to shut down and go all passive aggressive silent treatment, then when he catches on I come across really bitchy.
Humility
Vulnerability. I want to seem capable...of everything.
Hurt, I have a hard time deciding if it's justified to feel hurt. But I guess if I feel hurt I feel hurt, period. Then I have a hard time putting it in words, to be able to say what was it someone did or say that made me feel hurt.
How to express my deepest heartfelt emotions and feeling.
Assistance
Sadness
Hurt
Gentle positivity. I just presume that, because I deign to spend time with her, that she should know she's my favorite person. I don't make my emotional state clear, until things get outside my comfort zone (at which point it can be too late for gentle correction).
asking for help, real help.
When I am upset. I tend to not want to speak at all and I know that can't help the situation.
Vulnerability. I was taught to never show when someone has hurt you, or your hurting. So I have a hard time letting someone get close to me emotionally, because I am always trying to protect myself from hurt. I tend to say I'm fine, or I'm good when really I'm upset or hurt.
I have problems apologizing for stuff when I'm wrong..
Passion
Disappointment. I don't like to show people when I'm hurting.
