Is it normal to never show any negative emotions?

i cant outwardly show anger or sadness. i get angry and it bubbles up the poof, its gone. i feel normal again. but thats only on the inside, it's the same with being upset or sad. although i can feel upset for ages like others i just cant seem to show it unless im on my own. my friends where talking the other day and they said that they'd never seen me show any emotions other than the more positive ones, they told me that i bury everything, whch i know is probably true, but how do i stop burying and start showing, instead of using my own internal monologue to comfort myself all the time? is this normal and is it bad for you. i know more people like me because i don't seem to let things bother me and am more chilled out and relaxed than the majority,but it is annoying only expressing myself to myself.
does this even make any sense to anyone but me?
lol
peace and love to all

    if you want to show anger and sadness, then spend a day with me and I'll make you show all the negative emotions you buried, all of them!! I can get any emotion out of the most emotionless human.

    yeah i agree with writing. i had to do this english project for creative writing class, and i had to do poems that express my feelings, and things that i've expeirienced. i actually thought i'd have problems with writing all the hatred, and negative feelings i have for pretty much like 80% of the things that exist in the world. i really didnt,m it was amazing. poetry is my outlet. the thing was... i wasnt even embaressed to show my teacher, or read it out loud to my class.
    writing is wonderful.
    also try drawing
    i love to draw pictures of people falling in love an holding hands.
    its beautiful
    lol

    LOVE YOU GUYS because you ask amazing questions! <3
    -XOXO <3 Alex

    i know what you mean kinda. nothing really phases me, and I sure as hell don't express it. In my 18 years of life I have never had a fight outside of my family, I just don't get mad that easy. but that's not to say I'm always happy. more like a perpetual state of apathy. Some people are just more capable of dealing with negative emotions. I don't really know what bottling up emotions will mean in the long run if you are actually feeling negative emotions, but i guess you should talk to someone about it, like parents/siblings/friends.

    I know how you feel I'm kinda like that too, something that might help is to write all your problems, so they are in a more clear view and you can vent them out that way and also figure out solutions easily, sometimes just try and tell your friends your problems too, they'll try to help and it will increase intimacy with friends and make your bonds stronger
