Do You Bottle Up Your Emotions?

I think most people would show some form of emotion is situations like those. I do tend to hold things in for a long time. But there have been times where I let those emotions out right away. I think it all depends on the situation.

I tend to eat my emotions and anxiety.

I tend to keep things to myself. It's just how I've always done it.

I would say I probably bottle up things that are just too difficult for me to deal with at the moment or I would just rather not think about. It almost always comes back on me though, I get hit with strong emotions and everything I have bottled up seems to hit me at once. I often feel as though I am emotionless, but not always. I do cry and things out sometimes, and I am very thankful my boyfriend is so caring and supportive. He is always there when I need someone to talk to and he's a great listener. Sometimes that is all someone needs, just someone who will listen (and not judge or criticize, etc.) while you let it all out.

From what I see around me, no one really hides their emotions, they may be secretive about them as to get the person for no other reason other than they have a twisted mind. They all show it in some form. Non verbally or in abstract verbal ways or being subtly rude or very rude or actually yelling at you, being way too loud or pushing buttons your buttons without you bring able to push theirs (I'm not a lousy person) or plotting and planning. ( illogical things mostly) As far as their more positive emotions, yes they will "brag" or let you know they are going on vacation or they just purchased this or that and so on.

What you see is what you get from me! I'd expect the same from you or others close to me.

I keep everything inside which is probably part of the reason of why I suffer from depression and anxiety.
