It is such warfare in expressing yourself when you take to things more emotionally.
While choking on the words that you can't seem to form in a complete sentence, they begin to break up into fragments of strained feeling, your eyes water as your heart beat increases intensely.
You are not upset in an annoyed way, or embarrassed, but conflicted, because every time you try to speak, your words are silenced, fallen upon ears of those who think they are definite in knowing exactly what you're thinking and are able to pinpoint how you feel, aside from your feelings opposing.
