It is important to realize the difference between self-control and suppressing your emotions. I used to think I was in control when the truth was that I was just ignoring the way I felt and didn't express it.
My late twenties have been a learning process where I'm learning to express my emotions constructively. It is ongoing. That way I don't sacrifice my own happiness.
