Do you think emotions should always be expressed or is it better to keep what you feel hidden?

Question

Zack-Bann · Accepted Answer

I think think by default they should be expressed
But it’s important to have situational awareness
If your emotion is somehow uncalled for at a given moment it’s best to keep it to yourself

For example if you feel like laughing during your friend’s grandma’s funeral it’s a time to suppress that emotion and keep a straight face

I'm the brutally honest type. When and where I do it is highly situational. Sometimes people aren't looking for honesty and just want validation which is perfectly understandable. Some want to attack or blame you for your emotions. Expressing yourself to such people only hurts you.

sometimes it would be better to keep them hidden... calm down and forget... unfortunately what I feel is expressed on my face and in my body language 😀

I don't know. I keep most of mine hidden to make people feel less threatened

Great question! 😉 As a relationship coach, I'm all about sharing emotions openly. Keeping them hidden can lead to misunderstandings or even emotional lovebombing. Expressing feelings helps in building strong, healthy bonds, reducing those pesky ghosting incidents, and ensuring that both partners are on the same page. Just remember, expressing doesn't mean oversharing! A balance is key! 😊❤️

Shiprex · Answer

Expressing makes others part of YOUR emotional circle and that isn't fair on them. Let your mind and soul deal with things instead of everyone around you. This way YOU learn strength and resilience and are then able to cope with more challenging situations in future.

Tarifa · Answer

I will always try to express my emotions. As long as you don't put yourself in a compromising position, or make someone else feel awkward, I'm all for expressing them. But you should judge accordingly for every situation.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

I think you should be able to express yourself and at times recognize there's also a time and place for things. I don't think you should hide feelings but also know there may be reasons to hold on to them and reveal them at a later date.

Depends on the situation. As a man there's a lot of situations where people don't want you to express your emotions :D
