Characters Bottling Emotions

@knightedwriter asked: “I have this character who gets into a stressful situation and has a history of emotional abuse. He bottles his emotions. I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out how he should respond to situations, especially as his stress builds and he starts to break. He’s not the POV character.”

I’ve gotten similar questions more than a few times recently and I think there’s something to be said for characters who don’t wear their heart on their sleeves are harder to write about when it comes to showing emotion.

i have this au i’ve really liked lately where ravenpaw becomes a kittypet after leaving thunderclan and his new owners train him to be a therapy cat and it’s all about ravenpaw dealing with his trauma and learning how to cope while helping humans do the same. idk i really like it

I just want to say that there's actually plenty of reasons why somebody wouldn't reblog a post. Here's some of them: 1: They have a very small/lurker blog without many followers and they know that nobody will see it anyway. (Or they want to get bigger/centre their blog around something, but don't quite know how.) 2: If they have a larger blog (Or even if they've got a smaller one) they're scared of accidentally reblogging from a bad source (TERF, racist, etc) without knowing. 3: They're seriously just shy. I don't have social anxiety myself, but a lot of people do, and it can affect you online (At least, that's what I've been told). 4: It could be something that they personally enjoy, but they don't want their followers to know they enjoy out of embarrassment or fear. 5: There might be practical limitations stopping them from reblogging. I've had some pretty bad glitches, to the point where I just give up. It's likely that others might have experienced the same thing. These are only some of the reasons why somebody might not reblog a post. Please don't assume that people who don't reblog absolutely everything, or who don't reblog anything at all, are dicks.

Does anybody have any idea what this might be? Found in a shop in the UK, probably pinned up by a customer. I’m more confused and scared than anything, lol.
