In psychology, suppression is the act of stopping yourself from thinking or feeling something. This is classed as long term avoidance.
We all do this to some extent, and it is part of being human, however, if this becomes excessive then it is likely to become problematic. Moreover it is likely to get in the way of us enjoying life.
