&lt;ul&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;try to suppress my feelings (especially any "negative" ones)&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;to apologize for showing emotion around others&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;to ruminate on certain emotion-provoking situations (which makes feelings last longer than they need to)&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;to try to squash emotional outbursts in my kids&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
