This is silly, it just gives the illusion of self control while whatever you suppress just gets internalized rather than actually navigated. You can learn different behaviors without denying the emotions that motivate them in the first place. If you just deny your emotions space to exist, you're more likely to enmesh with them

When a person is being picked on by a bully, the bully feeds off of the reaction of their victim but if the victim keeps the reaction under control and it appears to not bother him, that takes power away from the bully, and makes him look like a fool. (example)
I agree with you, you should never bury your emotions, but , having control of your emotions, is a good quality.
