What is bottled up emotions in idioms?

Answer 1

Bottled up emotions are feelings that are not expressed.

Instead, they're kept to ones self.

Example sentence:

She keeps all her anger bottled up inside until she eventually explodes in a screaming rage.

Physical activity is a great way to cope with bottled up emotions after a stressful work day.

Answer 2

It means you are holding back your feelings. You may feel trapped, repressed, and unable to express yourself, or you may believe that expressing certain feelings is wrong. That is usually not a healthy state of mind.

Examples:

"After years of bottling up his anger over all the bullying, the student finally had enough and went on a shooting rampage at school."

The Kenny Rogers song (and the movie with the same title), Coward of the County, was about a meek man who didn't want to repeat the mistakes of his father who spent most of his life in prison for his actions. He had a girlfriend, and the three most feared men in town raped her. From that point the lyrics say, "Twenty years of crawling were bottled up inside him. He would hold nothing back he let 'em have it all." So much of his life, he was a "doormat," but when it came to defending someone he really loved, he no longer bottled up his emotions, but let it all come out as he took on her three attackers.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Feelings that you don't express or tell anyone about.

Answer 5

It means that one is hiding your emotions and feelings. People bottle up their anger until they explode, it is not considered healthy.
