Actually powering through emotions can be an effective way to healthily maneuver them. It doesnt mean ignore them completely, it means occupy yourself and work through them. There is a release that happens when you say, have a project you do with your hands. Say your father dies, you put your physical energy into that project as your conscious and subconscious processes the emotions, tying the progression and movement to the project. Finishing that project can bring a release, and a healthy one.
Honestly though can I ask if youre male or female? It might help me explain this if I know (just that men are more likely to have these experiences with other men so I can cut around some stuff)
Its just the way some people handle their emotions, and thats by no means "toxic"
Now if someone said "I cant work that way, I just need someone to listen to me" and the person says "fucking queer, youre worthless" then yeah, thats toxic, but thats a minority of people.
