Let's paint a quick picture.
Have you always kept your emotions bottled up? You don't really know why, but you have never been open
enough to let people see how you are really feeling. You always smile and laugh with people and just ignore things that might make your emotions come up. You always try to keep yourself emotionally level, never letting yourself get too upset or happy or annoyed about anything. You always act the same and try to keep the same level of emotion.
You keep all your emotions bottled up to the point where nothing gets you, nothing affects you because you have put up so many walls and barriers to protect yourself from really getting moved.
It is most likely that no one has ever seen the real you behind the constant, smiling and happy face you always put up. You may be thinking that if people were to see the real you, the emotional you, then they wouldn't understand and would probably reject you for it because they thought you were perfect or something and they've never seen that side of you before. So, you can't let people see that you are not perfect, so you continue to keep your emotions bottled up.

People bottle up emotion for numerous reasons; whether be it they can’t fight back due to the situation, for example, your boss or teacher/lecturer is giving you a rough time about something, you can’t fight back against them.
Some people think that if they show emotion, others will think they’re weak. Some just worry about what everyone will think. Others think they should feel a certain way and make themselves appear to be that way to be ‘normal’. One may go through a traumatic event that can trigger it, they go into shock and don’t know how to deal with what they are or aren’t feeling. They may not want to bother others with their issues, or don’t want to tell anyone because ‘they wont understand’. And some just simply do it not to hurt others. Once you've suppressed emotion for a long enough time, you become crabby and may snap at people for no reason. You're more likely to explode on people, most likely friends and loved ones. Some people end up using short-term solutions like drugs and alcohol.

These emotions can manifest physically and make you ill.

There are many ways one can release pent-up feelings. It all depends on the person. One may like to cry or listen to music, while the other may want talk to someone. Some may just want to scream into the air.

You are not a robot and can never be!

Therefore it is not wrong to let your emotions out as long as they are not destructive. Whichever way you want to go about it, find healthy ways to let your emotions out.

Can you related to this post? What healthy ways have you adopted to let out your emotions?

A near perfect life is one where you are comfortable and you have bright prospects for the future. A life where you have those who love you and you love and everyone around you is one way or the other helping to lift the other person to heights where he can achieve his dreams. A life where you are doing what brings out the best of your potentials. Nevertheless, expect ups and downs.

[quote author=Harry_Potter22]Geeeeeeeez! I can't believe the comments I'm seeing from you guys. You don't love yourselves, you don't love your country, yet anytime another national spit trash about Nigeria, you are quick to arms. And now that a foreigner is loving Nigeria, you are also not happy.

Nigerians sha![/quote]Their behaviour is a better definition of the word 'Cluelesss' and 'Confused'!

I have seen many historicals ...

use Clotrimazole cream or pasery. Insert the pasery or rub the cream when you feel the itching. Also take one tablet (150mg) of Fluconazole. Fluconazole is an effective systemic antifungal. Pls note that all the advice here are just empirical treatment suggestions so pls see a gynaecologist for expert care

pascyj: I'm pretty sure no one wants Jolanta dead.He is too weak,naïve,clueless,unpopular and inconsequential to be so honoured.Better to squashed like a rat in 2015.

Do you all know where this is going? Soon APC will be the new PDP (because it's the same people!) and then another party will rise up then APC members will move there and the cycle continues! Lawd.! So this is the best we can do?! Smh!

Downloading almost 3GB worth of data with my china phone in 2009. People did not believe it (and you probably don't) but it's true. Just that i had to wait for 2hrs to download a 30MB file but i didn't mind as long as there was light to charge the phone while it did the work!

He's not a pastor by calling but by profession. Imagine a salary of 15,000. He certainly (probably!) begged for the post. What was he preachin all this time anyway? *no judgement intended*

Samgreguc: signs of End time.

You're right on this. It's really end time because men are now desperately looking for a peace-figure. And remember, the antichrist will claim to be a man of peace. (Hey nitpicker, i didn't call anybody an antichrist. I'm just tryin to reason out something so don't waste your time on my post!)

NIGERIA dsnt have ELECTRICITY[/quote]Point of correction, STABLE electricity. If a foreigner reads this your comment he may develop the impression that we've never seen light bulbs in our entire lives! So be specific in your post *no offence...*

Dannylux: Bad leaders are made in Naija..

Mr. take that back! We only have foolish corrupt leaders while your so called ideal countries have wise corrupt leaders. I'm not encouraging corruption (God forbid!) but every politician thinks of himself first no matter how good, white or black *don't argue pls 'cos i won't reply*

what are they praying for? They are the ones to answer whatever request they are presentin before God. The power is in their hands. You don't go on prayer and fasting to know how to use your spoon to eat even if mama prepared a bad meal!

What are nigerians doing all over the world. Nigerians are littered across the globe all in the name of seekin for only- God-knows--what. Every country you mention, they call nigerians. They are like fulani herdsmen who seek greener pastures and forget that after a while rain also falls on their own land so they go on and on wandering. For god's sake are we nomads? The other day it was india, and now CAR.

tochimas: I had the same experience way back in school after my friend and I ate okra soup we found at his brothers house. We had gone from trade fair to his brother's house to relax cos it was closer, on getting there and realizing that we were hungry, we made eba and helped ourselves to the okra soup we found there. The experience is like a horror movie, at one moment , I would see myself on the ceiling, I would even see my self walking with my head. I even thought I would just die at any moment . Abeg no even give that to your worst enemy .
He came back and met us in a very bad form, fed us with tins of milk till we vomited all the food in our stomach.

hmmm..
