Is it better to show your emotions or cheat yourself ?

Cool ,my friend.I know it is not possible to check temper.But still as we are human beings we must not react like the wild animals.It is good to show your anger then also you must be controlled .In any moment you must not lose your temper and do any sort of mishaps. I get angry many times,but I try to escape from that situation.It does not mean that I am cowered ,but I don't want any sort of confrontation . come on friend .enjoy your life.

In my own personal opinion, it is better to show what you feel that hiding it and pretend that you are okey.Hiding what you feels especially when you feel that you are being hurt cannot help you, feel free to show your emotions. And release it because it can help you to feel better. Well some says that if a guy is crying, it means that he is not men. Why? Is it wrong to see a guy crying? I dont think so. Because guys are also human beings that have emotions and whatever they feel, they are free to express it and it doesnt necessarily means that they are not men.

its better to show your emotion because in that way people will know how you feel for them instead of cheating yourself..

It's not good to hide them all the time. It's not good to show them all the time. What I mean is, it depends on the situation. Venting anger when you are not in the right time, place or situation may just lead to regret. The ability to control your emotions is a sign of maturity, it is not cheating. If you just show your emotions all the time, let's say anger, then you are nothing greater than a child with temper tantrums. One more thing, when venting out anger, you may really hurt another person that's why again, use tact. Getting angry at your boss and lashing it out on him is not really a good idea, you should rather fix the misunderstanding in a calm way. Getting angry and showing control of your emotions would really help you in the real world.

yeah i agree that you are cheating yourself. showing all your emotions to everyone is not very wise because there are alot of situations that you need to control your feelings like if you get angry with your son or daughter...you need to control your temper in order for them to understand that it is not good to that thing or whenever you are mad at your girlfriend and just to avoid a fight you should not talk about those bad stuff to her. just like that. it has a purpose why not showing your emotions.

It is always better to open yourself up.Normaly if you are sad and you try to hide it,you will get depressed.Did it maybe happen to you that in school or at work you got depressed,you pretended to be happy,and the right moment you closed the door of your apartment you burst into crying screaming alkinds of stuff and kicking your cat? Happened to me... Don't hide your emotions (ESPECIALY NOT IN FRONT OF GIRLS)and if you feel sad try to talk to somebody who you trust to and like. God bless Mozzak

Hello There! It really depends on the situation. There were times that I keep my emotions or feelings to myself when I know that it is not worth to show it to someone especially when it is nonsense or if I am angry. I try to hide what I feel especially when I am frustrated, angry or losing my patience to someone because even if they had hurt me, I don’t want to hurt them back as much as possible since it is either we will make a big scene or they would enjoy to see that I am affected on what they did. However, there are times that I could not take it, I am no angel inside, trust me, so I would really confront the person and tell her/him how I feel. For me, I am not cheating myself, I am just controlling my feelings in hurting other people and making fun of myself… there is a proper time for everything. Just my one cent! Goodluck and thanks for the discussion! Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

I do not think so that, some emotion which may be harmful to one, hiding is cheating own self.As being a human we should to control own self (ego, emotion, habit.....)

I must admit that i'm good at hiding my true feelings... i can't confide my feelings to my parents as i know they will never understand.. sometimes, i just cry myself to sleep and let my emotions go away.. you know, there were times that i just want to break down and die but i've told myself that i shouldn't let my emotions overpower me.. i should stand up and be brave to face the sufferings i've been going through..

I always try to keep in underneath since I don't want to argue but it's really hard, sometimes it could drive you crazy if you bury it all the time..

In my case i used to control my emotions most especially when im angry coz i believe that once you say bad to others even u say sorry u cant refer the damage done in their feeling. That's y i think better to control coz its not abt urself only its abt people whom u love..

am good in hiding my emotions.. i don't consider it as cheating to myself.. i call it preservation.. or your inc control with your emotions.. which is good in a way you wont get hurt easily and you cant hurt others as well..

I am normal that's why i am emotional.I really respect my emotions but i can control my emotions. Controlling my emotions does not mean that i am cheating my self. When someone hurts me firstly i ask myself whether i do deserve that or not and after that i talk to that person and give him/her a chance for rectification. Sometimes i got angry, cant control my emotions and i burst out with all my emotions. But its not like that since i got angry i have to express my emotions ow i will cheat myself. anyway being an emotional fool i still try to control my emotions.. :)

A lot of the time if you hide your emotions you'll bottle it up inside. The longer you bottle things inside, the worse it'll be when you can't take it anymore. Some people can't help but hide their emotions from others. My opinion is that if you hold your emotions in too long, it'll hurt you worse in the end. It definately makes sense to control anger, but if you're depressed, you shouldn't hide it from loved ones (at least). You can show that you're mad, but don't lash out at anyone. Some people have a worse mental state than others, and can't take as much stress. You need to consider the fact that people can't change if they have depression, anxiety, bipolar, or any other mental disorder. The more you yell at others, the more it'll hurt them. You can show your anger, but keep it to a minimum. Depression is hard to deal with, as is bipolar disorder and anxiety. If someone else makes you angry, breathe, then calmly explain to them why you're angry. You don't need to be hurtful to others, but you can still express it in a healthy and relieving way. You don't have to cheat yourself to keep others from being hurt.

For me, it depends on the situation. There are times when I would love nothing more than to wear my emotions on my sleeve, but it would behoove me not to do so. So, in those cases, I'll keep those emotions to myself and write about them in my journal or blog. That way, I can still express what needs expressing without hurting myself or anyone else accidentally.

I do show my emotions a lot, sometimes I think I show them too much. I am not one who can keep my emotions inside. I want my man to know how I feel and sometimes I think that helps our relationship, because he never has to wonder what I am thinking or feeling. I just need to express myself in other aspects of our relationship.

Hi suman2008, This is a good topic. Most of the time I cheat to myself. I don't show my real feelings in other people. Even though i have a problem, I still laugh at my problems. I think i will be crazy if i will think of all those problems. I only show my real feelings when I am alone.that is the only time that i show my real emotion. i just cry and after that I am already okay. My office mates and the people on the environment never thought that i really have a problem since I use to smile. But in terms of anger, i still try to control my anger, but if I can't really control it, i approached the person. and without any doubts, i am telling him / her how i feel about her / him.

well i think its better to control our emotions? well i dont think its cheating our self because when we shout at some person it will hurt him and may be in some cases it so happens that we loose the person's friendship for ever , based on my experience i am telling , well i too cant control my self when i exceed my enger lever i i shout at the person who ever it be and in that way i lost my close friend for ever now he dosent talk to me , i tried to convience him but in wain so i think its better to control emotions

Hi, It is surely not Hypocrasy, if U r able to hide Ur emotions.People who really practice it consciously can do it.Watch the persons often exposed to Media.I do not say Emotions are bad, on the cotrary without Emotions possibly Humans will become Robots.But often becoming victim of Emotions,surely will not be sign of maturity. =lahiri,Kolkata,India.
