When is bottling up your feelings be a good thing and a bad thing? I couldn't figure out this question.
Bottling up your feelings is a good thing when you get angry in class. Suck it up and go on learning while you're in class. Wait til you can see the teacher privately to express your anger.
Bottling up your feelings would also be good when you feel passion or hatred for another person. Wait until you're apart to examine your feelings and figure out how to act on them.
Bottling up your feelings would be bad if you hide them from yourself. Bottling up your feelings might be bad when another person is viciously attacking you.
