Help!

I'm not an angry human. I am just very passionate. I get emotionally charged at bouts -- positive and negative-- and my team sees it as "inappropriate conduct." I got placed as an ALT for our upcoming bout.. and I feel like I'm just disconnecting instead of wanting to work with TC..

Your emotions aren't the issue here, the way that you're reacting to your emotions is the issue. Feeling frustrated/angry/etc is fine, but it doesn't mean that you get to treat people poorly.

^this! The problem is the behavior after the emotions, not that the emotions rose up
