Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is: Felt emotions are always displayed.

Explanation: Not every emotion that is felt by individuals is displayed. The motives on why this happens vary from person to person and from context to context.

Sometimes in a given situation, the act of displaying an emotion may not be beneficial.

For instance: If your boss is telling you that you won't get a raise, displaying the emotion of anger might not be the wisest thing to do.

In certain cultures such as the British culture, the frequent display of emotions is somewhat frowned upon, so people tend to be more reserved in how they experience emotions. That does not mean British people don't feel emotions.

In conclusion, the false statement about emotions is "Felt emotions are always displayed".
