Bottling things in

I thought this was about, well... bottles.

Anyhow, not too much because I generally don't care a lot. 'sides, I'll snap at some point.
 
Never. Keeping things bottled up inside is not healthy. I unbottle them and let the chips fall where they may.
 
I've done it most of the time and I only keep my concerns to myself because I don't know how the person who I'm speaking with will react. If you have anything worrying you, then you must let it out despite the consequences.
 
Apparently people who keep things bottled up, are people most likely to suffer from insomnia/poor sleep. The two years of Psychology that I did actually taught me something

I can agree with that, because you're going to keep thinking about something that you can't let out which will make you restless.
 
Keeping things bottled in is good in some situations. Saying how you feel about something to the wrong person can land you in more trouble than if you had just kept your mouth shut.

Sorry but I disagree. Keeping things bottled up only adds extra stress to the person doing that. No way you can land in trouble if you make an honest effort to let it all out. State the facts and stick to them. Again there are two side to every reaction. Good or bad. I'd rather take my chances to try and clear the air so to speak then keep it bottled up inside of me. Maybe the person has no idea that they are causing you stress and once you let it all out, they may see where you're coming from. Without discussion and keeping your mouth shut doesn't solve anything. If you want an answer or solution, you have to be willing to open that bottle.
 
All the time, then i snap. usually results in my punching a wall or something :/



Never hit people though, Im not that much of a maniac... just a depressive

I bottle things up, but I don't keep them bottled up forever. I do have times when I let everything else and I feel so refreshed afterwards.

Thats a big maybe. Things don't work out that smoothly.. At least not in my experiences.

I'm a little inclined to agree with that.
 
I tend to keep things bottled in because I don't want people to give me advice or feel bad about me. I am just not the type to talk to people about my emotions. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is bad...it is only bad when people think I am mad at them and begin to get all pissy (girlfriend).
 
That's a rare day for me. I've noticed the difference between men and women in this area too, even in my own family. My sisters and I never let things bottle up, but the menfolk do. Perhaps that's why men die sooner than women.



It can't be healthy to let things stew. There's got to be a fallout somewhere along the line.
 
Keeping things bottled in can cause major affects to a persons health both physcially and mentally. This is a well known fact and will never happen to me. I'm the type of person that speaks my mind and gets things bothering me off my chest. The results might not always work out by opening the bottle but at least I tried. Keeping things bottled in can also ruin relationships both personal and professional. I'm not willing to take any of the risks I mentioned, are you?
