Message: [QUOTE="IntenseHeat, post: 5974510, member: 92488"] Stoicism, huh? I never knew that was what it was called. I guess I practice the same thing. I learned long ago when I was in the Navy to control my emotions so I didn't go off on anybody at work and didn't come home and take my anger out on my family. Over the past few years though, I have been dealing with some heavy shit. At this point, I am like Bruce Banner in The Avengers. Early on he alluded to having a secret. Then when Captain America told him it might be a good time for him to get angry, he replied "That's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry". That's the secret that I keep from the people around me. I am always angry. But I have gotten so good at keeping it under control that it doesn't affect my actions or behavior. [/QUOTE]
