Thinker,
I read an article on Stonsy's blog addressed to men (google it, he is great from the booksof his I read). He wrote an article with the title Compassion Vs Trust. He opens the article with the question "When are you more powerful, when you are mad or when you are compassionate?". You can figure out the answer. I think, even if you are not mad, you can replace the word with hesitant, anxious, tired, disappointed, it would still make sense in your case.
