Differences in Emotional Expressivity-5/21/22

I have always felt like I have missed out on emotional expressivity. I live in the West where we are pretty calm and pretty boring. One of my bucket list items is to go to an African American ward and enjoy the culture that brings out the love of their faith. I feel like we are so dull that it comes across as not having much faith. If I was a person who grew up with low expressivity feel this way, how do people with high emotional expressivity feel around us?

This example is a simple one and one that doesn't usually cause too much of an uproar, but the lack of expressivity or a large amount of expressivity can really cause some to get upset. I think those with more expression of emotion probably don't get as frustrated as those that don't have as much because they seem to be able to accept others, but that may be my own perception with little truth behind it. I do feel like those who are on the lower spectrum tend to get more frustrated at those who are more out there in their emotions.

Having a low expressivity is not better than a high expressivity and vice-versa. It is what you have culturally been surrounded by and it has possibly been handed down for hundreds of years. One way of expressing oneself does not make you safer or smarter than the other. When we come in contact with someone who is different than us in sharing their opinions, displaying public affection, and enjoying life in their way, just let them be and try to find the beauty of their expressions.  Being an example of this is the best way to help the rising generation understand this principle.
