Do you keep your feelings bottle up?

I use to bottle up my feelings so much that in the end I explode. Anyone that comes into contact with me will feel my heat so to speak. I would have so much stuff I get from people and I would just love to cry and pour my heart out but then I would smile and pretend nothing is wrong...Do you do that? But now I learn that communication is the best policy...I would speak my mind and let the people or person know that I am sad and upset with what they did to me instead of holding it back...Have you gone through something like this? How have you change?

That is a good thing for you to change your ways like that. I admire you for speaking your mind now and knowing when to do that. I tend to bottle up my feelings and like you, I wanted to just cry it out, pour my heart out. It's so hard to pretend that everything is alright when you are just sizzling inside. It gets worse when I explode and all the ugly things come out of my mouth and everything is said and done, you cannot undo it anymore. I think I am still on the path of trying to change my ways. I guess, the very first instance of feeling bothered by something from someone should be regarded already and confront it right away so that further conflicts can be avoided.

Yeah, I really hate what comes out of my mouth when I explode. My head and heart is shut off and my hatred is put on over drive and keeps on going and then by the time my head and heart is starting it's engine so to speak it is too late because I already hurt the people I love in a real bad way...because unlike what they say about stick and stones may hurt my bones but words may never hurt me is really false...because sometimes words hurt worst than sticks and stones and the pains from them last longer than the physical abuse....Thanks dear for your response...

People easily know when I change my mood. I'm a moody person and they know from my eyes when I am happy or sad or mad.

Yeah the sad thing is when I change my mood or when I don't like something I can't hide it my eyes roll too hahaha and like when my friends or hubby try to tell me a lie and I know it I try to let it slide by but then my eyes give it away by showing them that I am mad or don't believe them or don't care because my eyes tells the truth...

with those i don't like,i usually bottle up my feelings when i am upset with what they've done to me.i want to simply laugh it out of court,though sometimes it's really hard to do so,but i really really do not want to communicate with them.
conversely,with my friends and family,i usually tell them what i think when they've done something uncomfortable to me.i think they are worth communicating with.
