Do not let your emotion show

Lesson learnt today. Do not show my emotion. Because the moment I start showing my emotion, others will empathise with me, and further escalate whatever emotion that was already there. And this is not doing any good. Say I am sad and down, others see that I'm down, ask me if things are okay. If I share with them the issues I have, they'd try to empathise and feel for me, which worsens my feelings further. As such, I shall learn not to let my emotion show. Also, I may not know if someone is using my emotion against me. It's a dangerous world, yes I hve realised.

I have learnt how to contain things inside myself.
