Does this prove I'm good at hiding my emotions?

Question

There was a guy who was known to harass people because he thought it was funny and I was one of his targets. He would call my name loudly as I walked past, say mean things to me and snicker, sometimes attempt to isolate me, etc etc. I would simply ignore and talk to my friends or have fun.

One day in front of his friends he made a face at me anticipating suprise n anger me, but I simply smiled. He quickly attempted to say "Hello," but I averted my eyes quickly so he only got half of the word out. I had never seen anyone look so embarassed in my life. All I did was simply ignore him while he had attempted to harass me for so long.
The fact that he was so quick to jump from trying to harass me (negative attention) to greeting me (positive attention) and getting REALLY super flustered when I cut him off (no attention and mind you this was all in public)...does that show I am good at hiding my emotions since he thought I would acknowledge him after he had treated me poorly?

It shows that you can handle yourself under pressure!! You always have your game face ready!

You Go Girl!!

Answer 2

Good for you Sugarbear! I don't think I would call that hiding your emotions...more like giving the jerk a good helping of your strongest emotion! :)
Its amazing how skillful we become @ dealing with difficult situations(& people) in our desperate attempts to find creative ways to stop being the victim.
I give you an 8 for that one!
Have a great day! :)

Answer 3

Excellent! Very mature way to handle it and hopefully the result will rub off on this guy and his friends.... to teach them a thing or two. The best way to handle a bully is to take the offensive... they never expect that.

Plus, now I don't have to fly across the country to come and give him a beating for picking on my little sister. =)
