Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kahuna Burger" data-source="post: 1073029" data-attributes="member: 8439">More that calling a social response "emotional" is redundant, and thus something I wouldn't say. I'd call it social and say that emotions are going to be part of it. generally, when people call something "emotional" in western culture, its shorthand for "invested with emotions that I don't respect or can't deal with". Arrogence is an emotion, hatred is an emotion, ego is an emotion no matter how level you keep your voice while you are expressing them. So saying that I see everything as an "emotional response" (the previous poster's assertion) is foolish because its just assuming the seperation of "emotional social responses" and "rational social responses" that is (usually) just as division of emotions and how they are expressed - A seperation I was attacking in the first place.but is it your instinctive one? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />   At low levels of frustration I much prefer to simply get quiet and focused. You can add "typical" before every comment on guys or women made in this entire thread IMHO. But the general point is that after long years of interactions I've figured out that guys aren't really in a killing rage when they react to the printer the way it would take a serious psychosis for me to... but even guys older than me who have been in long happy relationships are still very likely to think I'm having a nervous breakdown when I shed a few tears - because a complete collapse of their life is what (they would like to think) it would take for them to have the same reaction.Kahuna burger</blockquote>
