    Is hiding one’s emotion healthy or not?

    A lot of us may argue that whether hiding emotions is healthy or not varies on the
    specific feeling on a specific circumstance – in short, it depends upon the situation – but
    I beg to differ.
    It is true: a student can’t just yell at a teacher for misunderstandings that one, or
    both of them, may be responsible for; neither can a moviegoer express happiness in a
    dramatic yet meaningful film of a young child crying. Those show discourteousness,
    disrespectfulness, and lack of intellect, above all. Meanwhile, it is fine to express rightful
    sorrow to a close friend or acquaintance, and so is admitting a fear of something.
    Emotional Intelligence, a book and the concept by American psychologist Daniel
    Goleman, includes, but is not limited to, the ability to “motivate oneself despite
    frustrations”. It also involves self-awareness, social skills, and more topic-relevant, self-
    regulation and empathy.
    Supporting my dissent, I believe there is a fine line that separates hiding
    emotions and controlling them; and that pretty much speaks for itself. The act of holding
    back your emotions (e.g., anger) in front of someone or something in particular does not
    mean that you are hiding it, but rather controlling it. Regulating your emotions does not
    equate to ignoring or suppressing them. It means you recognize them, act on them
    when appropriate and not randomly whenever you feel like it, and that you are indeed
    emotionally intelligent.
    All things considered, hiding one’s emotion, by all means, is unhealthy; but
    controlling them when necessary is definitely wholesome.
