answer:Your emotions just are what they are. You can acknowledge them or repress them. I think, in some people, like myself, too much repressing of emotions goes on. It’s a form of denial. I understand why people do it but I don’t think it’s good for the soul. What needs to be “managed” is the reaction to the emotion. That is what needs to be kept under control. That said, I am very good at managing my emotions.I’m good at keeping them at bay so I can cope when they become overwhelming. It’s the only thing you can do sometimes. You can’t let yourself fall all to pieces. Life gives you various trials, stresses, disappointments. I just hope that in the dulling of emotions necessary sometimes in order to cope, I don’t deaden myself to joy and the ability to really feel and trust in happiness.
