It means you let everyone see how you feel. You can't hide your feelings and emotions.

In medieval times, knights went into tournaments or battle wearing a token of a lady's affection (usually a handkerchief or ribbon) tied around his arm. This open display of where his affections lay gave rise to the phrase "to wear one's heart upon one's sleeve".
Shakespeare made the saying famous in 'Othello':
"I will wear my heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at."

When you wear your heart on your sleeve, everyone can see your feelings...
Essentially it means that you're too passionate or emotional, not hiding your feelings in the slightest.

It skill to overtly coach your emotions. human beings like that commonly coach that they are truly satisfied, or truly unhappy. frequently they don't have any problems with crying in public. also, they are commonly very emotional and cry actual. at times those who "placed on their hearts on their sleeves" actual get their emotions damage. There are those who cover their hearts away in a dismal storage room also. yet you should imagine what meaning. for sure, someone who would not cry actual or get their emotions damage actual. extra women than boys "placed on their hearts on their sleeves," yet i have seen adult adult males that do.

That you're an emotional person and easily affected by something someone might say - that people can tell what you're feeling because your emotions show on your face or in what you do
