I think most of the time, emotional reservedness is the result of some sort of trauma experienced in childhood, where the child showed, what a parent or guardian could perceive as, "over-emotional" or an "overreaction" to something, resulting in the child coming to the conclusion of "[Parent] didn't like when I laughed really loud, so that must be bad. I will not laugh and they will like me again!" I'm not saying all emotional reservedness is a result of trauma, but a lot of the times, habits are created in childhood and carry over to adulthood. And sometimes, people are just raised to not show emotion in general ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Random question of the day:
What are your views on emotional reservedness?
