High emotion or stoic?

Would you prefer to be high emotion, or be a person who burys it? Let me explain.

I know this girl. Shes really cool, happy person. Beautiful great big warming smile. Whens shes happy shes extactic. When she gets bummed out....its almost depression. And its sad to see that.

I was talkin to her online today, and all of a sudden (from whatever other conversation she was having) she stopps talking. Take a look at her away messag and it looks like shes really bummed out.

So, basicaly her emotions end up at the extremes...(not manic depresive just....big emotions)

I gave her the advice to not let stuff get to her.

Got me thinkin...thats what I do. I dont let anything get to me. I bury any emotion I feel rising up. Remain nuetral. Anything I cant bury, I cover up with bravado, and arrogance. Its easy to go through life like this. But Ive had people tell me to show a little emotion. Most of the time you cant get more then a big smile and a chuckle out of me. And when Im down...I dont let anyone in on it.

Now, I started thinking....Which is better? And did I give her the right advice?

EDIT: Stoic is the word that sums up the no emotion point...
