RE: The Most Destructive and Obstructive Human Tendency...
Emotional suppression has negative effects, as exercise of restraint often depletes the capacity for attention, resulting in low performance in tasks involving reflection and learning.
Higher levels of self-repression were associated with depression during a 4-6 week period with worsening symptoms of depression, making many consider suppressing feelings ineffective, increasing stress and anxiety, and leading to increased health problems.Often, individuals are angry because they misinterpret someone else's intentions, and then discover that their anger was in vain. Disappointment ideas may disappear if we try to see the world brighter.
Assessing the situation in a new way does not suppress negative emotions, but makes you feel more positive.
