First, don’t tell me that the answer is just to “not bottle things up”, because that’s objectively incorrect too. Society doesn’t want you to have any negative emotions. I need to know how to not express negative emotions at all whatsoever unless I’m alone. I know it can be done because it is done in many other people on the planet.

Edit: Ok so I think one of the things I want to try doing next is ask for a med change from my psych provider.

      All bottling means is that you are choosing when to deal with something. I agree it isn’t negative on its own.

      Would you argue for bottling things up indefinitely in some situations?

        I guess. That sometimes happens by accident when you bottle something up … and then just forget about it.
