emotional dishonesty

This is what i mean by emotional dishonesty=repression of true feeling,not acknowledging to self and other true emotional reaction.

When we say, it really did not hurt us that much, that is the emotional dishonesty .
We underestimate or repress our true reactions.But for me, i'm just being emotional dishonesty just to protect my self from heartache, mis-perception that can bring the pain and anger.
