Depending on who it is and the circumstances, feeling that you have to hide your feelings isn't ideal. It's a denial of self and your right to be experiencing them. Something we experience far too often as it is.
Confronting people directly is something I tend to avoid though. Mostly because it's rarely worth it, especially if the other person is NT. Certainly the success rate of getting someone else to see my point of view and to actually see why I should be reacting the way I am has never let me believe so yet.
