Is it normal for me to bottle up my feelings and not deal with them?

It is normal for you to bottle up all your feeling but then you just feel guilty it's better if you talk to somebody about it even if it's just your parents they'll listen

It may be normal, but it's not always a good thing. There are resources out there, like 7cups, that can help you not have to bottle up your feelings.

I would not say that is "normal" but you can feel free to share those emotions with me if you like. i am always willing to listem

Nobody would call it normal. Why do you bottle up things. Be straight forward and don't care too much things. Dont loose your soul.

It certainly feels natural to want to bottle up those "too-hard-to-deal-with" feelings sometimes. I would say yes It is normal....BUT it is not okay. Feelings that have negative effects should be addressed. The problem may not be solved in an instant, but it is guaranteed to "lessen the load". There are so many reasons people use to justify bottling up our feelings; valid ones included. Sometimes you feel like if you ignore the problem it will go away...maybe there aren't people you trust enough to disclose sensitive or personal information to...maybe you you don't feel like anyone understands your situation...or perhaps you just don't think your problem is repairable. Too often have I succumbed to these "normal" feelings as well...and it is through personal experience I can advise you today to deal with these problems one at a time. And what better platform than 7cups to do so? Good luck and be blessed!

It's completely normal! But perhaps not that healthy? It's easier to bottle up our feelings though than to face them, express them and let all the emotions regarding it out of that bottle. It means moving past the denial stage and really dealing with everything.. .and that might be really intimidating and scary.. a daunting task certainly! But when left to bottle up , the emotions could explode at any time .. and that mess is harder to clean up? Talking about it isn't as bad as it may seem... venting actually helps in it's own way too :) You get to let it all out and it feels as though a really heavy burden has been lifted.

There are lots of Americans who bottle up feelings everyday so they don't have to deal with them. You are definitely not alone in this regard. One thing that's important to consider is how much you want to grow as a person.. There are people who live their entire lives with a low level of emotional maturity and then there are those who recognize their weaknesses (like bottling up feelings!) and work on them to try and become a better person. Whichever path you choose is up to you. : )

It is normal, I do that a lot. But it's not healthy though, because all of them might explode out one day and everything will just appear again.

If I bottle up my feelings, I hurt. If I don't, then I hurt others. Now, everyday I'm bombarded with a bunch of feelings. Well everybody does bottle up some feelings and its common across the world. I do it too. If everybody would've dealt with their feelings head-on, then the world would've been a mean and cold place. But, also dealing with or letting go of those bottled up feelings, is important.

Well normal is a big scale, it may be normal for a person to do that but it doesn't make it healthy.
