When something 'bad' happens in your life, it is better for you to let your pain, disappointment, grief manifest itself. You may try to convince yourself that, after all, it was not a big deal. Maybe it wasn't, or maybe it was. The point is that, when you endeavor to keep a stiff lip and to hold your emotions in check, you are only hurting yourself more. In certain situations you don't need to be stoic, to display restraint all the time. Letting yourself go, allowing your distress to manifest itself in whatever way is more suitable and comfortable for you, can be the best and fastest way to overcome negative feelings. Don't pretend that everything is alright when it isn't. Showing your weakness is a sign of strength. It means that you are smart enough to detect when you can just acknowledge and move on and, on the other hand, when-before releasing-you need to stop, analyze, grieve.
