HEADCANON. It's pretty clear that Sam is pretty empathetic and can feel strongly on certain things. However, when her emotions ( mainly any kind of despair or negative feelings from an incredibly distressing situation ) get to be too much? She tends to go through what I call an 'emotional reset'.

Emotional resets almost always happen when she either a) feels too many emotions at once, b) feels a specific emotion much too strongly, or c) a mixture of both. When this happens, her emotional state is 'reset', resulting in her becoming more—-for a lack of better terms—-blank in her expression. She usually doesn't speak much in this state, either, as most of her energy will be focused on solving what had caused her so much distress in the first place.

And when the 'problem' has been resolved, and/or someone she feels safe being vulnerable with appears? She'll most likely pass out from exhaustion and relief. The next time she wakes up, she'll be back to normal ( or as normal as she can be, anyways ).
