Is it good or bad to be the kind of person who wears their heart on their sleeve?

A friend of mine once told me that I'm the kind of guy who wears my heart on my sleeve.

What exactly does that mean? Are you the emotional type? Sensitive? Open with your feelings for all to see?

Not good or bad you just need to be able to be comfortable with who you are!

Bad. You have your heart on your sleeve, expect to be taken advantage of by every Tom, Dick and Harry who comes down the pike. Cover your heart up - grow a thick skin. Only reveal your heart to the people who deserve to see it and who you know aren't going to grab it from you and rip it into a million pieces.

You might want to ask them what they mean by that. But really it isn't a bad thing because it means that you care a lot. I would be careful though because you are more susceptible to getting hurt.

You need to be able to get in touch with your inner-child via text message or email for a meaningful connection....now let's all hold hands and sing Jesus Loves Me.

I think it is a good thing. People always know where they stand with you, and they can sometimes relate to your feelings & that builds a bond.
I can rarely hide my feelings on my face, and people are actually somewhat intimidated by that! On my job for example, I am the one person they don't dare take advantage of (as they have done with others when it comes to pay). I won't hesitate to voice how I feel about something, but not in any aggressive or inappropriate way.
The only time my feelings aren't obvious is actually in romantic matters....it's obvious to people who know me well when I like a guy, but those who don't are puzzled.

Not unless you like falling flat on your face a bunch of times.

Oooh! How about being controlled by your emotions no matter how dillusional they are and hook up with the wrong person! Yea!

So you tell me if it is.

I think it can be both. It shows the person you love how you feel. A word need not be spoken.

Others. When you wear your emotions/heart on your sleeve others who are not the ones you love can take advantage of it. You may get upset easily and they can see it. They know what makes you tick or get upset and they know how to do it now. They know they can get to you and they know how to get to you. They use it. Every time.

Exactly. That's what I basically said too. Why give people you don't give a flip about, that kind of power over you???!!!
