We all have emotions for a reason, and would be both weird and unnatural to have no feelings or emotion. You'd be nothing more than a robot.
Or maybe I have got that wrong?
Maybe you do have feelings but you will not allow yourself to release them?
There is the other extreme, where some weep and wail and get in a state about every trivialty, and those people can be hard work too.
As a slight aside I remember the shock on my old Bubbe's face when she discovered that "bollocks" were not things that canal barges were tied up to and it should have been bollards!
So not cold, not hard, not without feelings, not without emotion. Just armoured maybe.

She'd had a pretty crappy time when she came to the UK as a child on the lam from the Nazis and my grandparents sometimes told of what they had experienced in Russia. Try as my grandparents might they never managed anything but rudimentary English and try they certainly did.As a slight aside I remember the shock on my old Bubbe's face when she discovered that "bollocks" were not things that canal barges were tied up to and it should have been bollards!

I even cry watching cartoon films, but in that case I always have.

Re: Do You Cry Easily?
I don't do a full on blubber crying but I do shed many tears very often when it comes to things that remind me of my younger sister or my partner, may their souls rest in peace.I lost my sister to a sudden traffic pile up in 2002, she died instantly according to the coroner and I mourn her loss still to this day.
I lost my partner (not married, 2 years together) in 2011, she died of a brain tumour and mourn her loss till this day also.
I think because both of them was taken quickly and suddenly way before their time is why I shed many tears. I am sure if i let what ever it was i was watching or listening to that reminded me of either of them it would lead to a full on cry but it hasn't got that far yet.
