I am one of those people that you would call 'deadened'. While my g/f and I were driving, we saw a guy get hit by a car. She freaked out while I pulled over and did the EMT stuff.
Im not often outerly happy nor depressed, usually just a neutral kind of mood. The opposite, as has already been described a lot, wastes a lot of time, but repressing wastes a lot of life.
I think that there needs to be a healthy mix - as with most things in life.
Plus, while being over effusive may be symptomatic of bipolar, repressing can cause serious psychological issues, a couple of my buddies are screwed up as such...
