Well I could say, rejection.
Personally I think it is not cool. I know a lot of people who show their feelings too much. They whine and complain, beech and gossip when they don't like the way things are.... constantly. They need constant attention because they have learned to become "emotional cripples." I think they are like that because they always were and it "worked" for them so they don't know the difference...they don't know how selfish , stupid and spoiled they appear. Other people are just too polite to tell them off. They require constant attention to their "feelings." So I'm for the other people who have learned to control themselves and who go along and get along and know that the world won't come to an end if things don't go their way and it not cool to vent their spleen all over the place because of how they "feel." There is always tomorrow..

Maybe why people don't show their feelings is that they dont want anyone to know what truly inside them. They take this as defense mechanism. Sometimes people need to hide their feelings for the sake of everyone.

I don't show my feelings because I don't want people to know what I'm thinking. I also am very secretive in nature so why would I want to show my feelings to the world??? Another reason is because people feel as if they won't be understood for why they feel that way.

Because as children some people are taught that the expression of feelings is a sign of weekmess.

People hide their feelings mostly for protection. They try to protect themselves from getting hurt, embarassed, humiliated or too much attention on them. They also hide how they feel because they dont like conflict and dont want to upset or hurt other people.

I think people do not want to make themselves vulnerable. Plus, I think people fear rejection and fear that by expressing their feelings they may come across as different or weak.

Some do. The ones who don't probably think that it shows weakness.

People have learned to mask feelings because they don't want to hurt someone's feelings.

well, it depends on the person. some people like to show their feelings and some don't. those who don't may feel insecured about themself.
