Learning that “emotional repression” is different from “emotional repression around certain people.”
You should always be aware of and accept whatever you are feeling.
But who you express those feelings to is your own decision. There are going to be people in your life that do not understand you—who don’t know what kinds of advice or validation you need. If trying to express yourself to them only makes the problem worse, perhaps you need to reconsider opening up to them.
Find those people who do understand you and hold to them like lifelines. I guarantee there is someone out there on your exact wavelength. You’re never alone in how you feel. And it’s possible to express yourself.
