I think you behave fairly normally, that you delude yourself into thinking that you are above it all. If anything, you strike me as being too touchy......Anyway, absent a clear view of the context, it is not always possible to state what would be appropriate, of course. But emotions are not arbitrary, and people overestimate their self- control most of the time. As for appropriateness, if we did not feel fear when in danger, we would have died out as a species. If we were not angry when injured, we would not get up the adrenaline to defend ourselves. If we were not grateful when provided a boon, we would not develop social reciprocity. And so on......
