WAIT WAIT WAIT.
I think there’s a big DIFFERENCE, distinction between folks with
flat affect
vs
folks who are STUFFING THEIR FEELINGS
Most of the folks in most of our group work had long stuffed their feelings. They expressed them usually in passive/aggressive ways and/or in occasional outbursts but otherwise stuffed them and did not express them at all overtly or did not express them constructively overtly.
Somehow, I think I misinterpreted your original question.
Sorry.
Got it, thank you for the clarification. Actually, I think the military environment more or less demands that any “feelings” be subordinated to whatever the assignment is; it’s just structured that way for the good of all. So that would make sense.
