How do you express your emotions?

Emotions are an odd thing: everyone has them, but everyone practices them differently.  I am a seemingly very callous person, but this is only because I must logically rationalize before acting.  Some of the closest people to me envy this; more of them simply cannot understand it.

I do not believe that expressing yourself by crying, whispering, hugging, or whatever you wish to do shows weakness.  Not at all.  However when I see it in myself, it puts me in a position I am not ready to face, thus I attempt to avoid it as much as possible.  Whenever something sad happens, rather than crying, I poke through the entire situation and continue to break it down until I find some little inkling of humor in the situation, then I break everything else down around that.

The only plus side to my approach to emotion is that I have very little stress issues.  When I can logically state the facts of an issue, it is easier for me to mentally process it and then let it go.  Often when I tell stories about myself it is in third person, and this is for the same reason; it is easier to state facts than to say "and I" or "to me".

I do not often express strong emotions.  Usually my emotional expressions are minimal and I always try to pull humor into whatever else it may be.  This is no claim to betterment, simply what I do.
