Yep, sometimes I lose my composure when I am estatic and show it by words or deeds and feel embarrassed about some of it when sanity returns, but it isn't too often,lol.I consider the adrenaline rush a part of our being.It's an emotion that brings extreme joy or excitement , but I think that it works best when kept in check.I believe that reacting to a situation is also the character of a person and while analysing the person that trait needs to be considered, but I don't believe that's the person's only character because when he or she makes a wise decision when calm or helps a soul in need ,that too is part of him.However,how a person faces up to crisis tells a lot about his attitude towards life.

I have taught myself to remain calm even when I am angry. Anger is the one I struggle with the most but I have taken an anger management class and have spent time with a counselor in order to control my anger. When I am sad or happy I have not lost my composure. For these two though I do not see that it is bad to lose your composure when you are sad or happy. I do well in crises because I am able to remain calm. I think you can learn a lot about a person when they are anger or in a crisis.

Generally I remain fairly calm when I am extremely happy, or very angry. I know when my daughter won the Year 9 Championship medal for swimming, I did become quite excited.
When there is a crisis, I can stay calm & act sensibly.
I almost never loose my temper.
I must be a pretty boring...

Of course we lose our composure when we experience those feelings. What is the point of having feelings if you are not going to express them?
Composure is something we exercise in the work place when we have a meeting with important people. There is no room for composure in our personal life. Composure = cold fish.
You can only discover a person true character by living with them. People are very good at hiding who they really are and they will fool you everytime. That is why... if you marry someone without living with them for at least a year... you are marrying a stranger and you have no idea what you are in for.
There is nothing wrong with being angry if you are angry for the right reasons. But if a person is angry everyday over anything and everything... stay clear of that person... as it is a very unhappy person... and it will make your life a misery by taking its anger on you.

I think it's so much better to let emotions out...any kind, whether anger, sadness or extreme happiness...but especially the first two...to keep emotions bottled up can be worse...my mom was like that with anger...she keep it stuffed in but then holy moly when she did get angry it was like run for cover
Now me...I've been good in letting my emotions express themselves and I feel so much better afterward....Now when I recently got very emotionally charged happy news (about my benefits reinstated) the neighbors must have wondered,...what the heck?? I cranked up my stereo real loud sang loud and was quite literally doing a happy dance...(refrained from the cartwheels so not to break my neck--LOL)
No I'm never embarrassed by expressing my emotions --not one iota

There use to be a time when I had an explosive personality. If I was upset about something then everyone who was near me would hear about it within minutes. I was never the type to get all excited or extremely happy to the point that it would embarrass me. These days I show very little emotions at all unless it has something to do with children. Whether it be my own children or my seeing a child being mistreated, I will lose part of my composure but not to the point that I think it is embarrassing.

It really depends on the circumstances of what is going on at the time. If I am defending on eo f my children or myself from an attack. I do tend to get over excited. But never embarrassed by it. Now I have gotten angry over some things but I defend myself in saying I will not back down when pushed in a corner. There are times when I have said things in anger that I shouldn't of....I do apoligize if I think I am in the wrong. Than learn from the experience. But never am I am embarrassed.

Depends on how angry I am- or even how estatic I am- and how sad I am- If something is really bothering me making me sad- I will cry! If I'm angry- I try to keep to myself- sometimes I yell- but mostly just shut myself off to the world- usually my family knows to leave me alone- lol or they get the wrath of Kris- Wehn I'm happy or estatic- I laugh alot- cheer- have fun!

Well I am really not a confrontational person at all, so people may find this hard to believe but I really never lose my temper or lose control at all. And at my advanced age, I doubt I'll change now! LOL! If I'm in disagreement with something I normally stay ice-cool, say what I want to say without raising my voice, and then walk away.. guess it migt be the British in me (LOL!) - I abhor raised voices, and shouting and screaming and hysterics, and I tend to get really embarrassed if there are ever "scenes" going on around me - I can't get away quick enough. Having said that - I'm no "shrinking violet" and according to my partner I tend to always get my own way - LOL - I just prefer going about things calmly to achieve my ends. In my view once you lose control, people can take advantage of you, as you're not really sure what's going on!

Actually I'm quite good on hiding my feeling at certain situations. I don't want to blow my steam out as most of the time I ended up regret it. When I calm, I can think more clearly....only when I know the situation pretty well, then I'll said loudly what I need to say. I know it's not good for your health, but I just don't want to say wrong things nor wrong decision that will hurt more people when I'm angry. And goes the same when I'm sad or extremely happy....

Hi Melody! I think I easily loose my composure when I'm extremely sad or angry. Just in my extremes.~lol I don't feel embarrassed at that moment. But yes, afterward, especially when my friends or family are starting to tease me. But I think I'm pretty much the same when angry or sad.~lol It's just the intensity of my feelings that takes a pick.~lol (^^,)

Maybe to some people and not everyone. I think it is ok because they are not perfect and that bond to happen. I think that happens to me sometimes. I get so angry I just do the impossible.
