I’ve never heard of bottling emotions being immature. The immature way to deal with emotions is to scream in the streets about it. Bottling isn’t immature, it isn’t mature, it’s just unsafe. (For me it causes random outbursts of tons of emotions at the same time)
It seems to me that it isn’t a maturity thing, it’s more of a way for someone to try to not appear as if it was. I don’t know about other people but the only reasons that I have done it was because I wanted to appear less immature, and not bother anyone with childish problems. (Yes, I’m fine now. Just saying my opinion)

I have a request in the group name to warn me if those pets are added to the trade because I forgot to put the request in earlier and someone sent a trade wanting those pets without saying which pets they wanted in the message (understandable) and I screamed when I scrolled down and upset my parents. Then I had nightmares that night and did not sleep well. (Yep this happened when I adopted the zombie fennecs in the first place. I know I'm on the extreme end of sensitivity, so I don't fundamentally mind if this keeps happening)
Too bad I have to actually look at the pets in my peripheral vision to delete them lol but it's nice to know that if having the pets on my account start to really make me nervous, then I can delete them and never have to deal with them ever again; even with the Pound I have to wait for the trade to be accepted and then that's just one more trade in my trade history with the scary pets, so if I go back through my trade history later (which I do a lot) and open that trade...
Or, what you can do is pick a lot of random people and send them trades with a note to self of what it contains? You can also have someone else tell you what is in the trade before you look. Or, with less hassle, just write down who you sent it to and when! ^-^
