Thanks- I'm not sure that we use it much here, which is why I didn't think to include it.;-)

Decidedly,in this case you apply BOTTLE UP- in other words SMOTHER

John is very introverted,he'd rather bottle up his feelings than share his problems with anyone.

Ron always keeps his feelings bottled up. He holds his feelings inside.

The phrase is bottled up, meaning as if in a bottle, in other words, contained. If a person keeps his feelings bottled up he doesn't express them.
