Confidence is allowed. Sadness is tolerated — briefly. Anger is risky. Fear is disqualifying. So fear becomes silence. Anger becomes sarcasm. Sadness becomes productivity. Psychology calls this emotional substitution — when one emotion is replaced with another that’s more socially acceptable. The feeling doesn’t change. Only the expression does. This is how people become experts at explaining themselves calmly while falling apart internally. And because composure looks like strength, no one intervenes. You’re praised for “handling it well.” For being “low drama.” For being “easy to work with.”
