Did raising a difficult child completely skew your emotional reponses?

[QUOTE="buddy, post: 484411, member: 12886"] Of course. In some weird ways too. I am an ASL as a second language user. I have been around people in the Deaf community for most of my life since a kid... and at work, in a school that uses ASL (which heavily relies on not only the signs but facial expression, body language,etc) I started having issues with a couple of people who didn't know me well misinterpreting my communication. The main reason is I have learned not to let my feelings show as much. I used to be very expressive. But I have learned that with Q not reading expression well and always misinterpeting my intentions, to stay very neutral. It really took a while to figure out I was not switching back and forth as well over time. Luckily I was able to discuss this with them and my boss, and asked them to wake me up so I could make a conscious effort to use my "face" lol. I do feel I have to stuff a lot of things. [/QUOTE]
