1- Majority of the time we suppress and not express. We experience lots of things every day and then there are thoughts (hallucinations in some cases) but we do not share or express all those but suppress. This is why we are able to focus on life or else everyone else would end up as a character of a saas bahu serial.
2- There is nothing wrong in suppression and if anything I think this is more important than expression. It is one of those things whose presence is not appreciated but when there is lack of it we realize its importance lol.
3- In some situations expression is more important and there suppression is not advised. For eg. if someone has a problem or if in love then its better to express it and get it over with. There is no need to keep it inside as then you are affecting your life.
4- What you express is beyond your control while what you suppress is still with you and you can be diligent about it.
5- I think this is a great topic as it made me think about myself also. I don't know where I fit.
In conclusion, suppression is a useful mechanism to manage our thoughts and all the impulses we get and focus on the useful things which do need to be expressed.
