As an Autism person, heck if I know. I express the ones I shouldn’t and suppress the ones I should.

If you’re having difficulty expressing your feelings then you might want to look at where that comes from. You could try journaling, looking at your personal history, or talking to a therapist or someone you trust to identify the cause.
Hope that helps.

Reading helps me to expand my vocabulary and by adding to my vocabulary I expand my consciousness. By increased consciousness I gain more awareness - and with it - insight concerning how to express my feelings. But this sort of thing is highly subjective, depending on your personality type.

Same here, but I tend to suppress everything in public (a friend stated that I don’t show much emotion at school like it was a known fact a couple of months ago, it surprised me because I didn’t realize).

Feelings are the color palette that is generated by Thought and if Thought is on the Path of Perfection, then we can express our Feelings on the Path of the Heart. Relax and paint the picture that your Heart creates so it will always be Love.
I wish you this Love Created through the color palette on the Path of the Heart.
I wish it for myself too.
I wish you health and happy days!

Can I ask if this applies just to certain emotions or across the spectrum? Is it only out in public or do you notice it when you’re alone? Lastly, do you not feel the emotions, like numbness, or you just struggle to express them outwardly? Just trying to narrow it down a little.
Kind of?
I only purposely try to suppress anger and maybe sadness sometimes, anything that I feel won’t be acceptable. But like I said, a friend said that I rarely express emotion at all (this was while we were prepping for a speech competition, it was in the context of we know you care about this but others don’t because they don’t know you well, you need to fake the emotion).
Depends on your definition of public: I do it less around my family, sure, but getting mad at someone for sniffling (curse you misophonia) isn’t allowed around anyone so I’m always supressing anger. On second thought, yeah it’s all the time, I don’t let myself cry or get mad at movies or books or any of that. This results in sensory overloads/big emotions that I need help (friend or mom/dad) for.
Both? I struggle to express them outwardly, yes. I thought I was good at expressing happiness or interest, but again, my friend says otherwise (I later confirmed this with other friends, who went no shit). If it’s numb and I don’t feel anything or overwhelming and all in there while I act like I’m not feeling anything depends on how much emotional energy I can use to tell my emotions to go fuck themselves or act like they aren’t there at the moment.

Thank you for sharing that. Did this bother you before your friend brought it to your attention? Maybe you weren’t aware or it at all, or maybe it bothered you but you couldn’t really label it.
It doesn’t sound like your family made you feel very safe to express emotions and those messages settle in deeply and can become our own internal dialogue as adults.
There are other possibilities if this doesn’t fit but understanding it better would definitely benefit you. I agree with others who suggest exploring this deeply with a therapist. This is my wheelhouse so I’d be willing to discuss it with you a little more, if that feels helpful, and definitely look up therapists near you.
I’d love to discuss it more with you, I never really noticed before my friend stated it like a known fact. I think it might have bothered me?
Anyway, let’s move to DMs (is that the right thing to say?)

Heck if I know what to call it, but send me a private message for sure.
I will need to get ready for work soon, but if you’re ok with asynchronous messaging (we can reply when we see it but might take some time because we both have lives) send me a message.
