Where Does No Expression of Emotions Come From?

         To know how to emotionally feel better, you have to know why you aren't emotionally healthy to start with. Eddie Chauncy, author of  "Why Do People Hide Their Emotions?", says that hiding your emotions usually starts in your childhood. His overall purpose of his article is to inform his audience of why emotional health is important and how up you can insure you have this. He points out that as an example, a child who attempt to share their feelings with their parents and are met with indifference. He explains that an effect to this could be that the child learns there is no benefit to showing any emotion, therefore, they hide how they are really feeling. He also tells his audience that this lesson could become more of an issue as the child grows. His viewpoint of the situation is that bad emotional health could lead to further, and far worse issues. Furthermore, he believes that a very important trait to life is being emotionally healthy. This leads me to believing that his main idea is that emotional health is important.
         Eddie Chauncy's article includes conflicting evidence stating that hiding your emotions can be a good alternate in some cases. He explains restraint on how you feel may be used for the interests of other people. He gives an example on this that he once was in a bad situation, but gave self restraint on his distress with other people while at work. This slants my opinion because he is telling his audience that hiding your emotions could make you feel worse in many different cases, but doing so could be used for specific cases.
