I hold back my emotions to direct avoid conflict. I freeze up when things happen, I need to practice on my argumentative skills (in a good way). I do not like to fight people but sometimes you really have to stand up for yourself. It's just life and there is no cruise sailing. It's just not a good feeling to have conflict but it's not a good feeling to hold it in. Yes I do think it plays a role in my anxiety because I try to avoid those situations.

Yes. Some people don't look at the aggressor of situations, rather how the other person handles it. I have been handling it all of my life and it only makes me more bitter towards people, on the outside I don't get angry that much but one day I fear because I hold in so much someone is going to keep struming my notes just right and I bite their head off. I really fear that.

^ This pretty much sums me up too.

Years ago, yes, all the time.
This last year I've been trying not to hide anything.
Lately I've been told I should keep some things to myself.

So, I don't want to hold back any emotions but I do so in some situations because it's the right thing to do.
