…even when there is none to be found.

Did some research about “bottling” up things.  This list of why people do let matters bottle up is interesting:

  • They are unable to fight back in an argument situation (eg the “opponent” is more dominant or it is someone of authority that it may impact their employment).
  • They think that if they show their emotions it is a sign of weakness.
  • They believe it is not normal to be feeling a certain way, so try to conceal their emotions from others.
  • They are afraid of what other people might think.
  • They feel that they have to deal with their emotions or problems on their own because “no one else will understand”.
  • A situation may have occurred that has placed someone in shock and they just don’t know how to deal with it or they just block it out because don’t fully understand it makes them feel (or don’t feel) a certain way.
  • They feel they have to be “the rock” for others.
  • They don’t want to be hurt so they swallow their emotions back down.

As for the resolutions…I’d look for more.  The current ones help, to a degree.
