    I'm with you....
    I suck at hiding how I feel.
    It's not the worse trait to have, but it def makes it easy for people to walk all over you.

    Depends on the emotion. Sadness I can usually mask fairly well. Anger is a different story. Its hard to cover while wielding a knife.

    The blushing ALWAYS gives me away!!!

    Anger = :explode: it creeps up my neck and to my face and is an intense red color
    Embarrassment = :blushing: I'll smile and laugh it off, but the flushed cheeks don't lie
    Even happy & laughing, I start tearing up and my face is all sorts of spotty.

    This is why I've invested in some pricier make-up - - No one is the wiser.

    I can (and usually do) hide every emotion ever. When it comes to my own life, anyways. I cry like a baby while watching movies or something, but when it comes to an emotion resulting from something real? I keep it to myself. And it's usually not a good thing because then I end up taking all of my negative feelings out on myself. If somebody upsets me, they might not ever know, so nothing will ever get fixed. I can't tell people how I feel, regardless of whether it's good or bad. I honestly wish I could be more open with my emotions, but I don't know how.

    It's a blessing and a curse. Yes, it's on my sleeve, like Donna singing Super Trouper...:blushing:

    I usually have an amazing poker face. For a long time there I was the queen of fake smiles. When I am embarrassed though that is a different story. I hate it because everyone always can tell when I am embarrassed because I blush so bad. It is only exacerbated by the fact I can feel my cheeks heat up when it happens so I know I am blushing and that only leads to me being more embarrassed. GAHHHH!!!! I hate it when I blush. :blushing:

    I learned how to hide my emotions, especially hurt. Taught myself how to be stone cold faced regardless what was being said to me.

    I used to and do still around certain people. I'm trying to get better about it... I hate feeling vulnerable.

    I can hide most emotions, if I choose too. Except anger. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

    I definitely do! My face/emotions are in plain view. Kinda sucks but at least people know exactly where they stand or how I feel.

    I'm excellent at masking my true emotions when I need to (like at work), but I never do it at home with my family.

    Pretty much this. Emotional poker is exhausting and a waste of energy. I know I have a poker face that creeps up from time to time, but if I catch myself I address the situation if worth my time and theirs or just move on. Then I go workout. I used to drink excessive amounts of wine and then let it all out, but now I workout before the wine and log that *kitten*. Progress. :smile:

    My heart is buried deep within a maze of walls where only a select few have been allowed in or stuck with the maze long enough to find the center...

    Depends on the emotion. I cannot keep a straight face during WTF moments or I-want-to-kill-you moments. My eyes tend to give it all away.

    This...I get "crazy eyes"...

    When I'm sad, upset or disappointed...you can usually see it in my eyes as well....so yeah, I don't have a good poker face at all.
