Some psychologists say that it is not healthy to suppress your feelings. What does it mean to suppress your feelings?

A few days ago I told myself that "I will never be good at anything". A few seconds later I challenged that assumption and asked myself if it was a fact. Was I suppressing my feelings about my competence?

Thanks a lot.

No, that's beeing negative and hard on yourself. Suppressing your feelings is something that bothers you deeplly and you don't talk about it but keep it to yourself.
