Is it healthy to suppress all the anger, hatred, sadness and every negative emotion within you?

Answer 1

No, it is not healthy. Suppressed emotions do not go away, they remain and tend to gain strength. This will happen in the unconscious mind.

Pure emotions such as love and joy are usually expressed immediately. What you call "negative emotions" are usually emotions which have been mixed well with memories or thoughts. These also should be expressed, but require some judgment to express without doing harm to self or others.

Answer 2

It is not healthy to suppress any emotions. I might be able to help you though. First thing I don't think there is such a thing as a "negative emotion". I belive that If you feel emotion regardless of what kind, that you know your alive. Imagine not being able to feel at all regardless of happy or sad, that would suck so I'm thankful that I can feel. Also anger is not a real emotion. I know it sounds funny but hear me out anger is fake. It is what happens after you feel hurt or sad. So keep that in mind next time you feel angry focuss on the hurt or sad and you might feel better faster. When your sad try not to think it is a bad think. Except the fact that everyone is sad and that it is ok and normal to feel and be thankful you can feel because you know your alive. ; )

Answer 3

Jack, you need those ouchie ones so you can guage the strength of the emotions you prefer. For example, you can't truly know what happiness is unless you have experienced sadness. Indifference is my enemy, Jack... and that's a really tough gig for an apathetic agnostic. Emotions are simply interpretations of a chemical reaction. When you get high on ~ heroin ~ that hit is ultimately followed by an equivalent low... your body is attempting to bring the chemicals in your brain back into equilibrium. As a Libran pastifarian, I would have thought you of all people would have a handle on this entire concept.

Answer 4

No, it has to, and it will come out somewhere. It is much healthier to vent before you snap at people for no reason and possibly lose friends by doing that.

Everyone needs a way to let go of their negative feelings. Otherwise, one of 2 things will occur. They will explode or inplode in a fit of anger or sadness or hatred

Answer 5

Emotions are neither right, nor wrong they just are. Emotions also like to feed off of other emotions. If you keep too many negative emotions built up, they will feed off each other and multiply. Just because you have these negative emotions does not mean you have to act negatively. You can be angry without acting destructively. Acknowledge these emotions, but choose to act on them in a positive way.

Answer 6

these emotions are a very real part of being human.
they need an outlet so for the ones, like hatred or
anger, which can cause harm if expressed openly,
you need to learn ways to dissipate so they do not stay
inside you and poision you. meditation is one, but not
the only, way this can be done.

Answer 8

It's not healthy...but you shouldn't get out of control when you express these emotions...you could end up in a padded room

There are some times where you need to suppress it. But you should let it go and vent when you can.

It's not good to keep emotions pent up.
