When you are upset, do you try to hide it?

Well I am reading a book right now called "The Disease To Please." It says that we should not hide or supress our anger. But, we should find healthy ways to express it. It says that holding in anger breaks down the immune system and can cause such diseases as cancer. I am in therapy at this time, learning how to cope when I am upset. I tend to either hold it in or completely fly off the handle and neither one of these is working for me. There are plenty of self-help books that will help you along the way to emotional wholeness.

I generally just try to keep it all to myself. For me, showing emotion is like a sign of weakness so I don't like letting people see me cry or anything. I mean, I've let people see me cry on occasion but I try to avoid it at all costs.

When I am upset, I always try to hide it.But never succeeded in doing so.lol

as much as i try to hide what i am feeling, it always will show in my actions and face, no matter how hard i try to restrain it, our coworkers are quite sensitive to such emotion and would immediately want tto talk with the priest.

Everyone has differnt way to deal with their unhappiness. I'd like to choose to tell my best friends about what bother me a lot. And also, I will try my best to relax, then, all depressed mood will go.

Like you I try to hide it...and carry on as though im not hurting...which is quite silly....and not good for you!!...but we all cope in different ways.

When I am upset, I try my very best to hide it especially if I am in the classroom with my students because I don't want my current emotions get into the way when I lecture. However, no matter how I try keeping my feelings to myself, people who know me best know that something is definitely bothering me. If I am upset about SOMEONE, I make sure he/she knows about it. =)

Hi dear when i am upset, i try to hide it as i dont want to distrub others cause of my mood. the best way when i am upset is to stay quiet, read some books or go out for strolling and if weather is not good then shut off lights of my room, cover myself with blanket and go to sleep take care

yeah,i used to handle it in that way caz i am a man and i cant appeare to be so weak.but now are different caz that's too rough for myself to do that .now i am more likely to express myself and ask for help.i think everybody need comfort and we dont have to hide our weakness.we should understand each other and help each other.

I don't get upset much, but when I'm upset I don't tend to hide it. It's a habit at times I start talking in tagalog when I'm angry so that most people around me here won't know what I'm saying. I don't stay angry long. I will laugh it off and just let go.

I definitely hide my feelings when I am upset. I guess I just feel like there is no point in burdening people with my problems, that only adds on to my worry you know? Yeah it probably sounds weird but I don't know, I try to take on as much as I can no matter how bad I feel and I just keep piling it on, stuffing it down. I know people worry about me thinking I'm going to ready a boiling point one day but that is the main reason I write poetry and stuff like that, that's how I release what is built up inside me.

When i am upset i start cleaning franticly. I don't feel like talking at that point and i try to hide behind something. Then maybe later on or the next day i will open up and talk, but not always.

When I am upset with someone, I usually have a chat with an impartial third party about what has upset me (usually someone else). If I get some form of feeling that my actions are justified, I will approach the person that has upset me and get it out in the open. No use in persecuting myself due to someone else being inconsiderate or foolish. Besides, it helps nurture the friendship and develop it into a stronger relationship.

sometimes yes, sometimes no.. there are times i want to hide my emotions because i dont want others to be bothered with th way i feel.. i think there are still things that you can keep only to yourself.. but most of the time, whenever im really upset, i tell others about it.. i dont want to wallow the feeling on my own.. but still it depends upon the situation..

yes I guess I do hide it but I think I tend more to run I prefer to be on my own so I exit quick...

I don't necessarily try to hide it, but I don't usually tell people or show that I am upset. It's something that is personal and usually I only show it to someone that has something to do with the reason why I am upset. BUt this is not done on purpose it's the way I react. Sometimes I talk about what is upsetting me to a close friend and I feel better but not always . I do know that talking things over with someone is better than bottling it up but my first tendency is to do so.

I will try to hide it. It is no need for other irrelevant people to know my sadness as they can't help me anyway. And it may give me much more worries. When I am upset, usually I will talk to my husband or the friends who I trust.

Hi berry, for me i want to share with my friends when im upset, to lessen what i feel.

it depends people who r i am with.if he or she was my trusted and respected friend,i will tell him or her what's happening to me.i will feel more upset if there's no persons around me for concerning me.so i u r same as me,write it or talk it to people instead of hide it

Yes, my friend I also try to hide it when I am upset.I just dont like to share my problem with other people even with my family members.Instead of that I try to change my mood by listening very soft type of music.
