I think they are taking a nap? I have no idea. Maybe we just aren't talking about something a lot of people have much interest in? Maybe I don't have a life? I have no idea. The possibilities are endless : /

I wonder about that too, anon.

I think there are a few reasons people don't show their emotions as easily as others. One reason is growing up in a rough neighborhood or family - a show of emotions could be an excuse for attack. The schooling of the expressions could be conscious or unconscious and could tell you that someone is either adjusting their expressions on purpose or has actually shut down their emotions. And then too, some types are more emotional and externally expressive and others are more intellectual and internally expressive.

LOL, sounds like my cat when she wants to play or my husband when he gets into a new Kung Fu move he wants to try out on me (I know when his eyes dilate I need to tap out because that means he's getting so focused he may forget we are practicing). It is as if the eyes dilating are saying, "I'm 110% into this" (my type A sis and ENTP husband both do this). If you ever feel yourself getting too empathetic, empathic or getting too overwhelmed with whats going you can try this fun experiment: shutter your eyes - bring your focus back inside and maybe lower your lids a bit (fun to practice back and forth - external focus/internal focus). Although, running full open can be a fun ride too! :) but it's nice to have the conscious choice.
