True, I didn’t mention emotional balance since it usually plays little role in my daily life. I used to have issues with managing extreme emotions in early childhood that I solved by both avoidance, and ‘dimming’ them to the point they are mostly manageable. I avoid anger in daily life because it was always unproductive for me in the past, and is incompatible with the social strategies I use nowadays (which I picked because I suck at social ‘tactics’).
The environment you describe matches up well, but not perfectly with the one I grew up in. I guess you can use that as a confirmation.

Thanks for sharing. I can relate even to the exceptions and resulting strategies.
