Does anyone else notice that when they're watching a film with others, or at the cinema / theatre etc. (although personally I cannot stand cinemas and theatres), while most of the other people watching are laughing, being scared, being sad, crying, gasping, basically showing emotions, you are just sitting there involuntarily straight-faced going "why is everyone showing X emotion?"
I don't show much emotion normally. But when I watch a film, I can never understand why others laugh / cry / gasp / etc. I can sit through a whole film completely expressionless. And that's natural for me.
People have said I talk in a monotone.
Are you like this?
Why do so many people (mostly NTs, although I don't like to generalise) show huge amounts of emotion when they're talking? Does it serve a purpose? I have got through over 23 years of life with little emotion and I'm still alive...
