This means that a person has the ability to manage their own emotions without assistance and without relying on others for validation or support. It’s the knowledge that one’s own emotions should never impact others because personal problems are managed by the self. Regardless of fault or blame, a Learner understands that dumping negative emotions on innocent people is never an option. It may be that a person with this quality may still seek guidance with a particularly troublesome emotion. This does not mean that a person should only keep emotions to themselves. Emotions are meant to be expressed, but do so wisely and with courtesy to others.
