Emotions impacting xpressions

An emotional expression is a behavior that communicates an emotional state or attitude. Expression can be verbal or non-verbal, which can occur with or without  one being self aware(ness). 

Emotional expressions include facial movements like smiling or scowling, simple behaviors like crying, laughing, or saying "thank you," and more complex behaviors like writing a letter or giving a gift. 

Individuals have some conscious control of their emotional expressions; however, they need not have conscious awareness of their emotional or affective state in order to express emotion. We know that Charles Darwin theroy is a universally accepted  theory  involving Humans and Animals.    

Emotions are common across Humans and Animals. When they are left alone and independant their emotions are different.   Be a playful mood / angry response and reflect in their  voices, faces, and bodies. Much of the emotional status depends on the cultural norms and beliefs of a society also affect and shape the emotional expressions of its members, and expressions appropriate and important in one culture may be taboo in another.

Expressing emotions can have important effects on individuals’ well-being and relationships with others, depending on how and with whom the emotions are shared. Emotions convey information about our needs, where negative emotions can signal that a need has not been met and positive emotions signal that it has been meet. In some contexts, conveying this information can have a negative impact on an individual; for example, when others ignore or exploit those needs.

Emotional expression has social implications as well. Since emotions are related to our needs, it is important that they are expressed towards others who care about our needs. 

Expression to someone with whom there is no desire to form a relationship is likely to receive no response. Individuals who express negative emotions, in particular, may also appear less likeable as a result. However, when an individual expresses to someone who responds with empathy, their relationship with that person can improve. Like with writing, hearing another person’s perspective can help people reappraise the situation that incited those emotions.

Additionally, emotional expression to someone else can be viewed as a form of disclosure and sign of trust with that person, thus promoting intimacy. For example, greater expression of emotions or willingness to express negative emotions, such as anxiety or fear, promotes the formation of more relationships, greater intimacy in those relationships, and more support from others
