I have a hard time showing emotions, especially positive ones. I’m very envious of those who are very open and vocal about showing enthusiasm or delight. Whenever there is an opportunity to react, like when I receive a gift, for example, my expression is very, very subtle. Of course, I show gratitude and at the very least say “thank you,” though.
I am also very envious of girls that can be friendly with anyone they meet. Perhaps, I am worried about surprising the folks who have already assumed I am a quiet person. (Which is strange, I know, but people have looked at me weird for “breaking character.”)
I mean, I am trying, but the road to being able to sufficiently express my emotions is still very long…
