Is it bad to wear your heart on your sleeve?  Today I was told that I wear my heart on my sleeve and it gets in the way.  I am a completely honest person.  I strive to be honest and open with people.  I hate beating around the bush.  Today I expressed some frustrations over an event that a group that I belong to was planning.  I had already planned and promoted (for more than a month) an event for that same day and then another came along.  I felt like my toes were being stepped on and there wasn't any reason that the new event couldn't be rescheduled.  i expressed my frustrations to the director.  I cry when I get frustrated - I wear my heart on my sleeve.  He told me that it [my heart on my sleeve] was getting in the way.  Is this really such a bad thing?  I am passionate about what I am trying to accomplish and he wasn't able to communicate a valid reason for not moving the new event.  I was wanting my voice to be heard and had expressed it numerous other times without it being addressed before this point.  I would appreciate your thoughts.
