My guy, gal, or other, emotions aren't the problem. If you get too good at hiding them, they go away. It takes all the joy out of life. The sky loses color, food has taste, and you can't even work up the emotion to feel bad about it. You become a shell of a human being.

I ended going to therapy to relearn how to feel emotions. They'll still be there, under the surface, building pressure like a volcano. Maybe you'll get a minor eruption and feel for a half hour, or maybe it'll be the equivalent of Vesuvius, catastrophically damaging all parts of your life. Don't let the pressure build.

Your emotions aren't the problem, it's the people around you. Emotions are healthy and wonderful, even if they're not always pleasant.
