Resolved Question

We all say never bottle up your emotions, but do you? Or delay them?

I must admit to myself yes if not delay them. One of the greatest life lessons learned is that when faced with a threat I hold it in and am nice to the preditors face but after it's over I have a breakdown. Even in lesser cases I am too nice when I should just fight for my life. Thank you Epeeps for opening my eyes (question inspired by answers)

AnorexicMemories	Posted Oct 29th, 2009 at 4:28AM not really. but then again, i don't dwell much on emotion anyway. it's there, then it's not. i don't care enough to react. Rated: +1Vote for this!
MrsIcb4rP	Posted Oct 29th, 2009 at 12:54AM i used to repress but i later learned to delay. sometimes blowing up is not acceptable. sometimes the timing isn't right to deal with things right then. i do deal with it tho. i don't leave stuff on the back burner coz that's how i ended up in some heat in the past.

Nitrobezene1	Posted Oct 29th, 2009 at 12:48AM If I did bottle my emotions up especially towards my boyfriend, it would turn into a greater problem than it should be. Bringing up how I felt about things from a week ago isn't a healthy way to go about it. I think the emotions need to come out within 24 hours at least. Rated: +1Vote for this!
COOLPENGUIN	Posted Oct 29th, 2009 at 12:49AM I delay some that may cause me to react a little more dramatically than what I know I should. Sometimes things have to really sink in before I can rationally emotionalize them. Rated: +1Vote for this!

waltzwithme	Posted Oct 29th, 2009 at 12:58AM I often delay reacting to my emotions, thankfully. Reacting in the heat of the moment can often end in over-reacting. If I think about it for a while, it usually is not nearly as big as what it seemed at the moment. Rated: +1Vote for this!

Bagelbabe	Posted Oct 29th, 2009 at 1:03AM I can't repress/suppress feelings or I physically get ill. I'll sometimes take time to sift through things before reacting. Rated: +1Vote for this!
trivialmess	Posted Oct 29th, 2009 at 1:04AM I don't let them fester. Letting it out, saves for a whole lot of heartache later. Sharing my feelings with someone that said something that bothered me, often makes it easier to move on. Rated: +1Vote for this!
