The ability to completely hide your emotions can become a huge plus. Controlling your emotions can help you take control of negotiations, avoid confrontations, and even look cold. While it may seem like hiding your emotions is easy, it actually takes a lot of practice to look completely blank. You must learn to control all of your expressions, movements, and words at the same time.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Non-verbal expression control

1. 

   Relax your eyes and mouth. Eyes and mouth can reveal a wealth of emotions. It is important that you keep them under control at all times. The best way to do this is to practice not expressing your emotions. An expressionless face is a way to keep your distance from others. You can see how this expression appears in most crowded elevators. It looks like a sign of suggest not to disturb your face.
   • Take some time to deliberately relax the muscles in your face. You will be amazed at how tense they can become even if you don't experience any emotions at all.
   • Poker players often show emotionless faces when playing. Observe them and you will notice that they do not show any signs of excitement or anxiety.
   • Do not avoid eye contact. Avoiding eye contact could be considered an emotional response. Just look at the other person in the same way you would look at a chair or wall.

2. 

   
   
   Pay attention to your movements. Small gestures can be very expressive, even when we are not constantly aware of them. This is the hardest part of not showing your emotions, and no matter how hard you try, there will still be small gestures that say something about your feelings.
   • Avoid showing anxiety, such as cracking your fingers or biting your nails.
   • Don't show any signs of fatigue by rubbing your eyes or yawning.
   • Knocking your feet on the floor may indicate anxiety.
   • Looking down too much can make you appear shy or sad.
   • Although most people can hold a poker face, even the poker player's hands betray them and that is the biggest revelation discovered by wary eyes. Indecisive hand and arm movements can indicate your fear, uncertainty, anxiety, or excitement. Try only deliberate and quick movements. Don't move around unless you need to. Then move decisively and confidently.

3. 

   
   
   Maintain an emotionless posture. Avoid expressing any emotions with the way you stand or sit.
   • Don't cross your arms. This can be considered defensive. Keep your arms relaxed on the sides.
   • Sit on the back of a chair. A comfortable, worry-free posture is the best way to show that you're not being emotionally dominated. It also helps create more distance between you and whoever is with you. Leaning forward can make you seem eager or excited.

Part 2 of 3: Talking without expression

1. 

   
   
   Logical. Transition like Spock (a character with an expressionless face in the movie Star Trek) and try to have conversations that are completely out of your emotions. For example, if you go out for dinner and someone asks what your burger is like, tell them it's overcooked and a bit fat. Don't say it's delicious or greasy, even if it is. Just tell the truth.
   • If you are asked a question about how you feel or something cannot be answered with the truth, your best way is to avoid the question by asking again. You could also try giving a vague or ambiguous response.

2. 

   Keep your voice even. Notice the rhythm and pitch of your words. Raising your voice can be a sign of excitement or excitement. Lowering your voice and speaking more slowly means that you may seem uncertain or upset. Try to speak as if you are reading the manual out loud. Dull, informative, and un-featured will help keep your conversations under control.

3. 

   Don't use expressive words. There are many words to express feelings. Some are very obvious, while others are less emotional. Even though you really don't want to say that you're sad or happy, don't say you're assertive, calm, or indecisive. These words reveal as many emotions as your state.
   • Avoid using adjectives to describe words that will reveal your feelings. Don't say the real movie exciting good romantic. Instead, describe the movie There are many action phases or thrilling.

Part 3 of 3: Control your emotions

1. 

   Don't hang out too much with sentimental people. Emotional people can draw you into their problems and make it difficult to get rid of your emotions completely. You don't have to let someone out of your life completely, but you can limit your contact with people you are more emotional with.
   • If you go out and meet an emotional friend, always have an excuse to get rid of that person without being rude. Simply tell them that you have to pay for the video tapes or something like that.

2. 

   Learn to accept things. The big part of not showing your emotions is not letting anything bother you. When you realize that you don't have the power to change most things, it doesn't bother you much either. If you can give up on trying to control what happens, it will be easier to accept when things don't go as expected.

3. 

   Make yourself less sensitive. Watching violent TV shows or movies is a way most people make themselves less susceptible. While this is often viewed as bad, evidence suggests that watching violent programs can leave viewers indifferent to human pain and suffering. If you don't want to be affected by those emotions, try watching more TV.

4. 

   Look at money often. It sounds silly but looking at money tends to make people act more realistic. Scientists have found evidence that looking at money makes us less likely to accept outward expression or use expressive words to express our thoughts.

5. 

   Find an outlet for your emotions. No matter how good at repressing you are, sometimes you need to release all your emotions. Writing or playing music is a great way to get rid of emotional stress, while others find boxing helps them escape from frustration better. It doesn't matter which activity you choose as long as you can release all your worries in your own way instead of suddenly falling apart in front of everyone. advertisement
