The motivation to do that is questionable. It could mean they think of everyone around them as children and feel the need to be able to handle them.
It could also mean that they are constantly trying to game people into believing they feel a certain way but they actually don't.
Or it could mean they were taught to do this at a young age, and it's an automatic response.
In any case, it makes one look less human and more likely a manipulator, or at least concerned with the manipulation of people enough to suppress an automatic reaction.

I doubt that many would agree with you that those who react more calmly "look less human". People are generally drawn to those with a calm, positive demeanor, as they are often enjoyable to be around.
- reddytowns 10y agoThis is all becoming very anecdotal, so I'll just have to disagree. Everyone trying to hide their anger all the time leads to fake, sterile interactions, and pent up hostility, in my opinion. We'd be a lot healthier of a society if we didn't project and expect a perfect image of everyone all the time.
