    Salaam,

    Number 5 applies to me. If someone makes me very angry, I smile and look happy, a bit too happy. Only my mom knows that I'm really angry, especially when she hears me punching the wall when I go to my bedroom.

    I am mostly Western (no surprise there) but I do have some Asian tendencies. I hate conflict in particular and I try to avoid showing outward emotions.
