How well are you at hiding your feelings?

[Guest Anglesault]

Like for instance if you absolutely hate a girlfriend's best friend (Or, for that matter, your friend's girlfriend) and you know that if you actively voice your feelings, you're just gonna end up pissing off someone you really don't want to piss off?

 

For most people, they at least make the effort to be civil to this person so as not to offend people, but sometimes they just can't do it.

 

For me, personally, one of the hardest situations was when I could barely stand to be in the same room with my girlfriend's (at the time) sister. The sister knew exactly how I felt about her, as did all of my friend's, including my girlfriend's best friend, who was a life long friend of mine. But we all thought it was best if I tried to put on a good face.

 

My major problem was that I have really obvious body language, so no matter what I actually said my feelings were pretty obvious. It didn't take my girlfriend long to figure that one out.

 

Luckily the situation worked out for me, but it could have been a total disaster.

 

Anyone else have the same problem?

Sometimes I can hide it when I need to, but that less sometimes and more very seldom. I wear my heart on my sleeve and figure that everybody should know how I really feel, offensive as it may be or not.

I can do it, but there has to be some reason that I would hide my feelings.

I really don't know how good I am. When it comes to crushes and stuff like that, or anything that would make me scared or nervous, I'm pretty bad at hiding my feelings. But for dislike...I guess I'm ok at it. There have been times I've had to hang around people I don't care for and I was able to hold in my feelings pretty well as long as they didn't do or say anything to set me off. However, I've never known anyone that I can say I actually hated, so I can't say how I'd react in that situation.

I'm great at being a phony when I need to be.

I'm having a difficult time hiding my surprise that Anglesault had a girlfriend.

 

I'll keep my body language to a minimum though.

[Guest T®ITEC]

Not at all. The expression on my face just gives it away. Plus, if I'm around someone I don't like, I tend to.. bitch at them. A lot. Or I just leave as soon as they get there, if that's an option. ...Unless I want something from that person, then I'm as nice as I can stand to be.

 

So, in summary, a retarded monkey could tell what I was thinking/feeling. Thank you.

I can hide it really well. I absoluted hated my best friend's boyfriend (mainly because he was abusive) and I wanted her to end it with him. I couldn't tell her that because she wouldn't have it. She had to figure it out on her own (and she finaly did). But everytime I was near him, I wanted to kill him.

I do it more or less constantly, it's one of the huge gaping flaws in my personality.

If I don't like someone I don't acknowledge him or her. It's simple and effective....

I'm good at masking most feelings, except for utter dislike. If I dislike you, you'll know it.

[The Kid 0]

Same as LPEMP(my gosh am I lazy)...anyways I can hide most feelings unless it's someone I really can't stand. If it is, I go out of my way to make their life hell for the few minutes they are around me.

I'm very bad at disguising my feelings.

 

Very, very bad.

 

Actually I can hide feelings like sadness pretty well, but anger is a whole different story...

Actually, sadness is another one that people can call me on right away

 

I can actually do a decent job of hiding when I'm furious at something (not someone, as I said earlier)

 

The only tip off is that I get VERY quiet. I'm one of those slow boiling cold fury types.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

I'm fairly good at hiding my feelings, except for 3 or 4 people who know me well enough to just know. If I don't like someone I usually don't acknowledge them or I just end the conversation as quickly as I can.

[CanadianChick 0]

Nope, not at all. At times, especially if I'm upset at something, I try to be plantonic, but it doesn't work. If I'm angry, everyone around me knows. If I don't like you, you have to be a retard to not know it (which, in most cases, is the reason I hate you).

 

So know, I suck at hiding my emotions. But I can be a good actress when I really need to be.

I'm horrible at it, but then again I don't really want to hide my feelings.

 

If I'm sad, you can tell. If I don't like a person, you can tell.

I'm quite adept at hiding my real feelings behind a thick layer of phony bullshit if need be, though when it comes to things like disliking someone/something i won't bother hiding it.

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

I'm a pretty big fucking prick.

 

I can shine in on for people I don't know and kiss ass. But if its someone who annoys me ad shit - its pretty much a lost cause. I think that has become quite evident through here.

I can hide any hatred, but as soon as I'm proven to be right, I immediately must voice my true opinion. Take this:

 

A friend of mine is going out with this bitchy girl. They break up.

 

"You know, I never trusted her from the beginning. She had some lascivious motives. You're way better off without her."

 

They get back together.

 

"Remember what I said when you guys broke up? Yeah, I was just kidding around."

 

They break up. Again.

 

"Remember when I said 'I never trusted her from the beginning. She had some lascivious motives. You're way better off without her.' And then I said I was kidding around? Yeah, I lied."

 

They get back together.

 

"Oh, for God's sake."

 

She sleeps with the guy that's broken them up twice already.

 

"Told you."

That last post lost me about halfway through.

That right there is why I never told my best friend about how I felt about her boyfriend. When she finally ended things for good, we had a long talk and she did thank me for not saying "I told you so" She needed to figure things out on her own

It sounds like you always have to be right.

Well, hell, I'll admit to that.

 

But to tell the truth, I kinda saw the reunion coming, so I wanted to get in some entertainment from it. That's just how I work.

How well are you at hiding your feelings?, When you have to.

 

Managed to pretend to like you for 2 years. I'd say i'm decent.

Kind of like how I would pretend all your little "hilarious" misadventures are actually funny?

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I'm pretty much blatantly mean to people I don't like, and if they can't handle it, fuck 'em. What are they going to do? Kick my ass? I don't dislike people without a reason, though. Usually.

 

Otherwise, I'm usually pretty much expressionless, unless I don't want to be. I can get hit with fits of laughter and instant fury, though.

do you? i rarely read your posts. when I see your sig/avatar i hit the scroll button.

[Guest Skironox]

Not really good at hiding my own, but I'm extraordinary about not giving a fuck about anyone elses feelings. I'll just no sell any emotional tales anyone says to me with a grunt.

 

Maybe that's why I can't get chicks...
