HOWS YOUR PUBLIC IMAGE ?

Recently Evie scratched me on my face . I shouted out as it quite hurt and took me by suprise . People nearby predictably whipped thier heads round to look . People like nothing better than to see your public mask of composure slip to reveal a hint of aggresion , passion or even better anger !!! I am no different ,but why are these honest public displays of real emotion so rare ? We act like zombies in the street most of the time . This is bullshit.... why do we hide so much from the world ?
