Is hiding your emotions unhealthy ?

It can be. Depending on the emotions you're hiding, it can lead to more serious cases such as depression. If you're meaning emotions such as liking someone and not telling them, then things like that won't cause you any harm. If you're concerned for your health, the best people to speak to are professionals. While we can give our opinions based on our experiences, your experiences may be totally different from ours. As always, I suggest seeing a competent GP. If you ever feel like your GP isn't competent, never be afraid to ask for someone else. I've had a few where "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing", if you get the expression.

Remember that an emotion is an energy in motion. The more you keep it to yourself, all the negative energy starts eating you up. It's unhealthy. Energy can't disappear, so you have to let it all out so you can receive positive energy :-)

Everyone deals with their emotions in a different way. Hiding emotions is not always an unhealthy behavior. For example, it could be in your best interest to hide feelings of nervousness at a job interview. However, in some cases, it is healthy to express your feelings, such as when someone hurts your feelings. Discussing these feelings may have a positive impact of resolving the situation when handled correctly. In short, sometimes hiding emotion is okay, but doing it all of the time could have negative effects on your emotional well-being.

Hiding your emotions is never usually healthy. It's harmful to communication between your friends and family and causes you to bottle up emotions which can make you bitter and angry. Instead of hiding them, try writing them in a notebook or find another creative way to express your emotions.

It depends on the situation, for example if you are at a funeral and you're happy about that person's passing, it may be inappropriate to express such opinions at the time. However if you're bottling up emotions it will not help anyone. Allow yourself to feel and let yourself seek help. Do not put up a false face, you need to allow yourself to feel properly.

yes, it feel as if your painting yourself a color you aren't, like finding the rue meaning of a detailed painting

Hiding your emotions can be considered unhealthy because when you bottle them up, they tend to get worse.

Yes it can be. It can also be extremely exhausting and lead to even more intense feelings lot loneliness and happiness. I guess there are times in all of our lives where, for some reason, it is appropriate for use to hide our emotions from others temporarily but we then usually need to deal with them later

In some cases. If you are hiding your emotions to avoid dealing with them, yes. Sometimes not. Privacy is important to some.

It is important to remain true to yourself, accept and observe your feelings. Talk them out to someone you trust if need be. Embrace every emotion that comes your way and deal with each of one those individually
