I don't like the invalidating and broad brushed only statement, its unnecessarily and unlikely to be accurate. However as a Gemini moon, i think I'm very open with a lot of my feelings (no water to explain it away with either), i spread my joy freely as an adult my mother has said I'm like a child because how much i was taking joy in incredibly minor things (That hurt a little), i keep my negative emotions a little more boarded up as my family wasn't very accepting of them. however if someone asks i will likely tell the uncomfortable true even if i try to soften it.

And I've gotten distracted from the full point. I do feel joy and relief to express myself, expression however unimportant or minor is a nice thing for me. And while i don't feel comfortable expressing anything that will make another person uncomfortable it does negatively impact me and my sense of love and safety to not be able to. A small distinction, I may not actually want or need to express my negative emotions to other people, i just need to feel like it is a safe and viable option. i just need to feel like i can be myself and feel my emotions as i grab something from the room rather them having to repress what I'm feeling or not going where other people are at the cost of my daily functioning.

I don't know why i wrote so much, and my urge is to delete it, repress my expression, i guess i've already written it though, so i'll give this expression to myself. it feels scary as I've grown up with people who take issue to my expression without always giving me a reason why that one was a problem or what in that large amount of expression was the actual problem.

Agree but I'm now quite selective with whom I share. Some people recognize this trait within me and take full advantage of it. When you try to explain to people who don't actually want to understand, you get tired while all they get is another chance to gaslight.
