emotional miser 

A person who doesn't give much to others on an emotional level. He or she may be socially adept and charming and quite generous in other ways, but not when it comes to investing love and trust and friendship in fellow human beings. It could be a form of self-defense or it could be a kind of selfishness, or both. The pop cultural consensus is that emotional misers are missing out on the essential human experience by their disconnection. A common story arc features an emotional miser's transformation into a loving, connected, happier person -- often against his or her own will.

Ryan Bingham (George Clooney's character in Up in the Air) and Will Freeman (Hugh Grant's character in About a Boy) are examples of emotional misers in film and literature.

Tired and emotional 

Meaning "drunk," a catchphrase popularised by the British satirical magazine Private Eye in 1967 after being used in a spoof diplomatic memo to describe the state of Labour Cabinet minister George Brown.

The party dragged on too long, Sam kept getting shot down by the girls he spoke too, and by dawn you could say he was tired and emotional.

Emotional Crit 

What one says after hurting another's feelings enough that they are left completely Speechless (or possibly in tears)

Mark: Steve, you're such an unbelievable prick that I hope you fall down in the middle of a construction site because you broke both of your legs and then have each and every muscle and bone crushed into oblivion as a JCB runs over your corpse...

Steve:*overwhelmed at the previous statement but at the same time fearfully anticipating this possibility*

Mark: EMOTIONAL CRIT!

emotional time bomb 

Someone who keeps to themselves but listen to everyone else's problems. On the outside, this person is quiet but cautious. On the inside, this person is dealing with conflicts (feeling lonely, unappreciated, worthless, etc). This person never let's people in, so expressing any feelings is uncomfortable. Once in a while, this "time bomb" has no more room for emotions, exploding into anger and tears from frustration.

"Susan won't let anyone in. She's bound to explode like an emotional time bomb if she keeps everything inside like this."

emotional punching bag 

When another person, typically the person you like, uses you to get rid of all their problems (anger, frustration, sadness etc.) and could care less about you.

This girl I liked treated me like an emotional punching bag. She always came to me when she had problems, but never really cared for me.
