I know I bottle up my feelings. Lol.
In my case, I just don't like sharing my problems with anyone really. >_<
It's not the fact that I don't trust them, like if a friend asks me a question, I'll answer with 100% truthfulness.
It also depends what kind of feelings you bottle up. For example, if it's anger towards a friend or someone, you'll probably end up thinking about it at one point and the feelings would have already built up greatly, and you might end up yelling at your friend or whoever the person is. Same with sadness, except instead of the yelling it will be sobbing uncontrollably. And another one for example, is "love" or crushes, rather. I've experienced this one many times. When the feelings for another builds up greatly, and by the time you're ready to give your feelings, it's already too late. Your crush has a girlfriend, someone you know has a crush on him so he's "off limits" now, or he's just over you.
There are a lot of cases in which bottling up is bad.. But sometimes it also can just avoid the things you dont want to confront.

its bad to bottle up your feeling bc that can lead to depression. bc when you have them inside of you thats all you think about. and if you dont tell anyone then nobody cann help you with your problems
and i tend to bottle up my feelings and i do it because i dont think people will care what i feel or i dont think they need to no.

If you bottle up your feelings, then you can come very sad and depressed. And depression is a very bad illness.
Some people do it anyway, because they are too weak, and its easier for them to just keep all their feelings to themselves.

Some people can't help it. I do it and I know I do.. but it's just so much easier than telling the whole world I have a problem. I have actually been diagnozed with depression. When I bottle things up everyone knows it and helps me because I cut myself off from everyone and just think.. and when im forced to see the outside world I take everyone down with me because im lonely and ahh its complacated and im actually not like most so the reason I know its not good to bottle things up is the bottles only so big..

Some people have a hard time talking to people about their problems/feelings.. sometimes they don't even come to terms to it. It's almost like they avoid it because they don't want or cant deal with it. Then there's also trust issues.. so the only thing people could do .. is bottle things up because they don't want to get hurt anymore.
It's like you're letting someone in on a big secret.. and then they go telling everyone your secret. Trust is gone. People don't want others backstabbing them. Others feel as though.. people WON'T understand them or even relate to them. People often feel misunderstood so they keep things to themselves.. but it's the complete opposite. There's always someone out there who can help and relate..
It's bad because you'll have all these feelings kept to yourself. One day it will be too much and you'll soon break down because it's overwhelming.
For example.
A young girl is molested by her father's friend. She doesn't tell her parents because she fears as though they won't believe her. So she tells no one. Gets nightmares.. she falls into depression and cuts herself. Everything falls downhill from there. Bottle up feelings will hurt yourself. Therapy would have helped that girl.
I suppose its okay to keep some things to yourself but some things need to be let out. Maybe talk to a friend about it. It's almost like keeping in your anger and never having to release it. So it bottles up until something happens and it comes out.. badly.
Like.. my friend had anger problems and hit someone.. not on purpose. His feelings were confused and he didnt know how to deal with it alone.. But now he's fighting at karate and going to gym to release his anger.
Also.. writing in a journal is good.
Just built trust between people and talk to them. Keeping things to yourself.. will stress you out.
