    i only studied psychology a bit (because i couldn’t get into uni) but it is known that emotions have a difficult to change amount, “arousal” (not necessarily sexual), but the direction can be fairly easily changed, fear to anger, in the traffic scenario, or anger to desire, like in make-up sex, or anxiety to anger, like watching the news

      Men in particular tend not to be taught as much about emotions and are not taught the skills to process them properly.

      This is how you end up with the stereotypical man whose two emotions are calm and angry.
