    Does anyone else ever feel like they conceal their emotions a lot of times? I for one feel as though I have, mostly unintionally though. Based on my observations of the recoils of construed emotions, I believe it is probably very unhealthy. Anymore, I often feel as though, at some points, I lack emotions all together, yet when I am in solitude, my thoughts often run rampant and, in turn, I conjure up several false, unrealistic scenarios which often make me feel some intense emotional feelings. It's rather odd don't you think? However, for the most part I believe that the reason I try to prevent my emotions from being displayed is because I don't feel as though there is anyone who I can truly confide in and feel satisfied in the end with, besides myself.

    So my question to you is this, do any of you feel as though you hide you emotions, whether it intentional or not? Also, what do you believe makes you do so?
     
    This is more a post-and-go thread than a discussion, so I'll move it on over to OVP now.

    To answer your question, yes. All the time. Lol. Ceebz to go into why.
     
    Oh, if I'm suffering or mad, I hide it all the time. I don't like talking about my emotions at that point. I feel like I'm a burden and I don't want to deal with it.

    Honestly I think everyone's hidden their emotions at some point. It's just that some do it more than others.
     
    I usually do. Ive found that sharing my feelings often makes it worse for myself so I usually hide how I feel and pretend everything is fine. Or I just say "Im fine" if someone asks how I am. I dont feel like putting my problems and negative emotions on others because it isnt fair and makes them feel bad as well.
     
    Nope. I don't have a problem revealing my emotions. Talking about them helps, but it has to be with the right person, and it's nice to have people know that I'm just angry or something if I'm treating them less than properly than how I normally would treat them.
     
    I keep my emotions bottled in, but I have a hard time holding in frustration. If I do, I tend to show it too quickly.
     
    Online I don't bother hiding how I feel that much; but offline I have a fantastic poker face. I've had to develop it because in my household if you're in some sort of argument and you show any sign of becoming emotional, you might as well just give in right then because you're dead in the water. If you speak in a calm, emotionless tone with some degree of confidence, you can always hold your own, but the second you begin to raise your voice, they have the upper hand.
     
    Yes. When I'm sad, I kinda keep it bottled up; mainly because I never really had anyone to talk to so I just can't seem to do it now :/ . I tend to let my anger show rather easily though...
    All in all, I try to smile and laugh things off.
     
    Yeah I always hide my feelings when I'm sad or angry. I think that's normal for everyone though. I don't like talking about my feelings when I'm upset with anyone, so I rather hide it than be asked about it. Sometimes I'll just be so upset that part of me doesn't care that it shows and then someone will ask me why I'm sad/angry/what's wrong and I then remember why I make an effort not to show these things lol.
     
    I seldom have substantial emotions to hide. Understanding one's own capacities goes a long way toward that, I think.
     
    I used to hide my emotions in my entire Middle School years...however, I changed this habit in High School, since it was blocking too many opportunities and damaging more people than I thought I would damage.
     
    Often. In my line of work, having the wrong emotions at the wrong time could get you into major trouble. You have to keep a level head. It's hard, but that's what friends are for to help you out with those emotions.
     
    In real life I am very reserved, and I always have a neutral look or smile on my face... People think I am always happy... And no one has ever seen me angry.

    Spoiler alert: I'm not. And that is really not true.

    The thing is that I am able to get rid of my negative thoughts for most things in my other activities. So it's not really a thing that builds up over time, the moment is the most difficult thing to go through, and I usually have enough control to go through that unless it's really abusive.
     
    I don't think I hide my emotions so much as I often suppress them a lot of the time. People can often tell they're there, but normally don't realise how heightened they are. If I'm angry about something, I normally don't act completely petulant or annoying, but there'll be a noticeable change in my behaviour to an outside observer.

    That being said, I'm very much of a zen person a lot of the time, so it takes something particularly notable in order to get a rise out of me in one direction or the other.
     
    Yes, especially in a professional setting when someone angers me. I can't fly off the handle for fear of being outcast, so I have to bottle those feelings in. Even online, i have to keep my emotions in check sometimes because the stuff I feel like saying could get me kicked off sites.

    I try to keep them hidden from my parents, but I occasionally let loose all that pent up anger and frustration with long, bitter tirades.
