I am fairly limited emotionally. Very few things really arouse passion in me. My wife and kids bring out the most emotion that I've felt, especially the kids. Nothing compares to the sheer mind-wrenching terror I felt when my son was born and wasn't breathing right.
Unfortunately, being of limited emotion means that I have less defense mechanisms in place to deal with such extreme emotions. I tend to sort of lock down tight when it happens as I am deeply afraid of overreacting when under that sort of rare life-curshing emotional issue.
I am a fairly cool person by temperment, and have frequently been called cold. I don't let it get to me. Yeah, big shock, I know.
