I have been dealing with a lot of emotions recently, and my inability to cope has brought up a question I'd like to pose to WP. How do you handle emotional situations? Do they not phase you, or do they result in meltdowns? Thanks for any insight you can provide me.

I actually kind of wish my emotions did not exist at times, because I don't seem to handle them too well either.

When other people are being emotional, I'm usually the most calm and collected person in the room. But on the rare occasion that it's my emotions getting the best of me, I usually just bottle it up and appear normal anyway.
