"Emotions often get the best of us...gotta remember who we are and say eff how we feel sometimes." -NSpirit On Life

Just this week, five people, including my manager, told me that I need to manage my emotions. She didn't say it like that, but kind of eluded to it. I've been thinking all week about why I'm so emotional, and more importantly, I've been trying to figure out how to manage these feelings.
I realize that this little project will be hard for me for one simple reason: I usually don't subject myself to situations, people, jobs, or anything that I don't deeply care and have a passion for. This means that I put my all into everything - relationships, work, my business, family, etc... - when things don't go right, it kinda hurts. I get emotional and (because I wear my heart on my sleeve) it's often hard to hide those feelings of hurt or disappointment.
So, there's only a few solutions that I can think of to solve this problem:
1 - try not to care, which will be impossible or
2- just don't show that I care.
Solution #2 may seem a bit wreckless and unhealthy, but I kinda think it can work. In business and in pleasure, when you show your vulnerability you automatically have the bottom hand and the other entity has the upperhand. Often, I become emotional over situations that will have a better outcome if I just swallow what I'm feeling and act with my brain instead of my heart-just for the moment.
Plus, I'm a writer and I need to learn to save the emotions for the notepad or blog.
I think I'm getting somewhere. If you have suggestions on how an overly-emotional, writer girl like me can control her emotions, please share.
