Hiding your feelings will only make a person feel worse and it does not benefit anyone. Bottling up emotions means that it will build up and eventually explode in an extremely unhealthy and detrimental manner. It isn't strange or shameful if one experiences certain emotions and there is no problem in wanting to express those. Emotions are part of you, part of each human being. Talking about one's feelings can bring much relief and ease the burden a little :)

Yes, very. If you or someone you know is hiding your/their emotions, you should talk to someone, but if you don't want to, writing down your emotions is very good, as it gets them out without telling anyone. Good luck :)

Yes it is. Bundling up emotions inside causes stress and stress leads to anxiety and many other physical ailments. However, it's also bad to always "blow up" with every emotional response. It's best to let it out slowly and with some thought behind it.

Yes it's very unhealthy. The longer you hide them the more they build up inside of you. If you don't share your emotions and just keep them hidden, the burden with constantly weigh you down like a brick.

I honestly think that it depends. It s not good to hide them forever, but it is important to supress emotions sometimes, in order to be productive

Letting your emotions out can help you find some sort of relief. Emotions are they to remind you it's okay to be human and let you know that you're able to feel different types of things. Hiding them can only make things worse (speaking from experience). Once you let it all out, you'll be able to open up more to others. Everyone has emotions and it isn't strange or weird to let those emotions out. :)

It depends on how much of your emotions you are hiding, and how you are seeking to cope with these emotions in private. There are many situations where it is normal, and infact, healthy to hide our emotions. But, these situations are short-term, temporary, and specific. When you find yourself hiding your feelings from a lot of people all the time, or from yourself, things are likely not very healthy. It can help to journal or draw and start to express your emotions and speak up for yourself. Sometimes we hide emotions out of shame, or fear of what the emotions will do or how people will view us. It can help to start talking to others about how you feel, and if you feel things are interfering with your daily life or making life unbearable or really hurting your relationships, you may eventually find counseling to be a useful support.

Hiding your emotions can be unhealthy because you are holding in the negative event and emotions you're feeling and can result to people who want to help you not knowing when you are ready to seek it or not knowing you are struggling at all.

Hiding your emotions is extremely unhealthy, because when nobody knows what you're feeling, nobody can help you get through hard times. Letting the emotions out through talking, or any other coping strategy, can release pressure on you and make you feel like you have support.

Yes, no matter what the emotion is. For positive emotion such as happiness, if one chooses to hide it, it may tend to become negative emotions. However for negative emotion such as anger or sadness, if one chooses to hide it, it may lead to more serious problems such as anxiety or depression even having suicide thoughts. It would be better to share out the emotions to stay happy or seek helps.
