Nawh, I dont agree, that "hydrolic" or "pressure valve" analogy for human nature, or even animal nature since it was popular with Konrad Lorenz, I think is seriously mistaken.
In its place I'd substitute some character theory or analytical theory, obviously the tendencies to emoting and capacity for self-regulation of affect will be a consequence of chacteroogy, or if you like typology, to the point were some people will need to emote and others will not.
It may not be true for all but it is true. I don't see how one can say with a straight face that it is not.
Are you telling me that you have never suffered an annoying thing, and said "don't react to this, it's not worth it" then it comes again but is a bit more annoying to you this time, but yet again you say "don't react to this, it's not worth it".
Don't you ever just progressively get sick of something, to the point where your final reaction is greater than what your initial discomfort warranted? It doesn't even have to be a full blow up, just an increased annoyance would prove the rule.
