Unless you count anger...

I like displaying my affection publicly, but a lot of the times, being a side ninja prevents you from having healthy affection, this is why I'd like an actual steady relationship instead of flingy bullshit.

Some people have described me as having the same array of emotions as a terminator, but when I'm dating a girl I put them on a golden throne and lavish them with affection, and when I give gifts I've very generous and don't expect anything in return. I think other than the gift-giving, I'm not very affectionate with people I'm not dating.
Just be careful with that or the girls you date might take too much advantage of you. The golden throne/pedestal thing I mean. It's known to not be a good idea. Unless you're made of moneybags and don't mind being used and attracting mostly gold-digger types or if those are the types you specifically want or like best.
As to emotions, I'm said to be very animated yet I tend to verbally express very little regarding emotions. People seem drawn to me. Animals too. I'll certainly listen to what other people have to say about their emotions. I am very good at playing stoic when need be.

I can be very affectionate. I don't know, I don't have a set of rules I go by. I hug my friends because I like the feeling. i like the closeness of it. Even if it's just a quick hug.
I don't hug everyone. I don't hug strangers or people I don't like. So that hug is something special between me and my friends and I like that.
I'm a very physical person to begin with. I'm not emotionally or psychologically clingy, but I like to held onto my boyfriend. I held onto his arm as we would walk around. I liked that I sent the message "I'm his, I'm with him, don't bother us."
I also really like it when my friends show affection to me. It's just like, showing me their affection for me. I don't know. It feels good.

Normally it's easy for me, but my brain goes into a high gear in awkward situations more easily than most.
if you've ever driven a stick-shift, you'll know what I'm saying.
I am not a poet, and I do not intend to be.
I just wanted to post so you do not forget me.

It really depends on who the person is. I'd have to say I'm fairly emotional, because I am willing to hug people I know, well, really only family members, so I guess I'm somewhere in between. My mom was always pretty expressive, so that s side of me probably came from her.

I have a problem with showing affection to certain people, but once I get to know people I don't really.
When I'm drunk I can get p touchy-feely.

I'm basically just a large toddler who swears a lot.
You look nice today.
This guy brutally sodomizes me.

To a lover/girlfriend/fiancee/spouse, yes, I'm very open about my feelings and affection, verbally and with actions
With friends, I'd rather show them than tell them

Me neither.
I tend to make friends with really assertive, out-going people. The problem with that is that they're a really open with their feelings. My best friends frequently spout things like "Oh man, I love you, Pig" in that friendship-y affection kind of way and then I'll divert it with a change of subject like "hey, I wonder what so-and-so is doing, let's call him" or I'll just hesitantly acknowledge it with "Ha yeah."
I am very assertive and out going--but I have trained myself to be that way FOR work, so regarding my career, I am in charge and have lots of people working for me. But personally, I'm more of a loner. I hate crowds, I hate parties.
It's even worse when my female friends say that and I give them some sort of hapless grin and then I feel bad because they went to the trouble of verbally expressing their fondness for my existence and they think their affection isn't being reciprocated.
Are you guys really touchy-feely?
I am a female and I am not touchy feely. Sometimes I worry people who meet me or invite me over, are thinking, "Wow what a giant bitch" I'm in the south, and people down here are real big on hugs and handshakes. People will often hug when meeting someone! To me, hugs are for people I know and have feelings for, friends, family etc. I'll sign someone's birthday card at work, and then she'll come up to me later and hug me really hard, "Thanks girl!" and I know she's just being polite, but inside my head I'm repeating "personal space personal space personal space"
Are you an emotionless monster incapable of expressing compassion and love to your fellow humans?
Or are you somewhere in the middle?
I'm in the middle. I used to be way more emotionless but I have trained myself a lot so that I can function in the grown up world.

Affection is fucking gay and showing it is a sign you're a pussy.
Pretend not to care about anything, but be bothered by everything.
You may be fast on the roads but it's no use on the track.
