I am a newbie here so take my feedback with a huge grain of salt and wait on the more experienced DBers to chime in. In my mind, showing emotion was a slip but slips are inevitable from time to time in the DB process. As long as you regain your footing (which you did) you can keep it going.
So yes - showing emotion = bad
BUT!

You established a boundary and stuck to it which is great!
