to hide what you are feeling · not to express your emotions
Ever met someone who's super good at poker, not just with cards, but with their feelings too? This expression is for those moments when you (or someone else) decide to keep a tight lid on your emotional cauldron. It's about choosing not to show or talk about what you're really feeling, whether it's joy, sadness, or frustration. Sometimes it's about being private, other times it's about not wanting to burden others. 🤫
💡 While it's perfectly fine to be a private person, always remember that sharing your feelings with a trusted friend or family member can sometimes be a huge relief! Keeping *everything* bottled up for too long isn't always healthy. Find a balance that works for you. 🧘♀️
When would you most likely use 'to keep your feelings to yourself'? A. When you're openly sharing all your excitement about a new project with your team. B. When you're upset about a comment but choose not to show your anger or discuss it. C. When you're asking a friend for advice on a personal problem.
