Line #13 PlayingWith/DidYouThinkICantFeel


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character's facial expression doesn't indicate how emotional they are.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob is normally stoic even while being bullied by his [[BigBrotherBully big sister]] Alice, but he eventually [[RageBreakingPoint shows]] [[TenderTears that he actually is affected emotionally]].
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Bob looks like an EmptyShell, but is one of the most emotional members of the cast.
5	** Bob is so emotionless even if mistreated by Alice, but taking it too far has led Bob to glare at Alice [[TranquilFury despite the fact Bob doesn't look angry]].
6	* '''Downplayed''': Bob is normally stoic even while being bullied by Alice, but [[NotSoStoic he does show some minor signs of annoyance]] when her back is turned.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Bob believes keeping a stoic expression will make Alice not enjoy bullying him.
9	** Bob's [[FrozenFace face movements are literally limited by something]], so he appears expressionless. He may have to resort to ThatMakesMeFeelAngry if someone really isn't getting the point that he can feel.
10	* '''Inverted''':
11	** Bob acts [[LargeHam more emotional than he actually is]].
12	** HotBlooded
13	** DramaQueen
14	** ComicalOverreacting
15	* '''Subverted''': Bob is just as emotionless as his expression implies.
16	* '''Double Subverted''': ... Or so it seems, until his BerserkButton is pushed enough times, then his facade of absolute stoicism is shattered.
17	* '''Parodied''': Bob is a literal robot, and he actually has a stoicism chip. When it malfunctions, he turns into a [[MoodSwinger literal emotional wreck that oscillates]] between utter misery, manic elation, uncontrollable terror, visceral disgust and enraged bloodlust.
18	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
19	* '''Averted''':
20	** Bob always shows exactly what emotion he feels on his face.
21	** TheMcCoy
22	* '''Enforced''': "Okay, the fans are pretty much convinced Bob's a robot. We need to humanize him a little."
23	* '''Lampshaded''': "I never thought such a stoic guy would be so emotional."
24	* '''Invoked''': ???
25	* '''Exploited''':
26	** Bob is being impersonated by a robot, and Alice intentionally pushes Bob past the edge of his stoicism to tears in order to expose the fake.
27	** [[TheEmpath Betty]] uses such an example to demonstrate to [[LackOfEmpathy some]] that everyone, no matter how stoic, is a sentient and emotional being deep down.
28	* '''Defied''':
29	** Bob specifically worked to not only show no emotion, but [[FeelNoPain to feel none]].
30	** Bob refuses any form of stoicism, being always open about his feelings to avoid a dangerous RageBreakingPoint.
31	* '''Discussed''': "Man, I didn't know Bob felt that way." "[[DeadpanSnarker I didn't know he felt.]]"
32	* '''Conversed''': ???
33	* '''Deconstructed''': Bob becomes emotional to the point of losing his sanity and severely injures Alice.
34	* '''Reconstructed''':
35	** ... right before returning into a stoic again, but this time with [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone feelings of remorse]].
36	** The deed done, Bob regains his stoic composure. However, he and others agree that [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty Alice]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil had it coming]].
