Significado
Keeping feelings to oneself.
Contexto cultural
In Turkey, there is a strong cultural expectation of 'metanet' (fortitude). People are often praised for not complaining, which ironically leads to the overuse of 'içine atmak'. Similar to Turkey, many Middle Eastern cultures value 'sabır' (patience). Expressing personal grievances is sometimes seen as a lack of faith or strength. In many East Asian cultures, maintaining 'face' and social harmony is paramount. Suppressing emotions is often seen as a way to protect others from one's own problems. In contrast, many Western cultures now emphasize 'venting' and therapy. 'Bottling it up' is almost universally seen as a negative, unhealthy behavior.
Context is key
Always ensure the listener knows you are talking about feelings, otherwise they might be confused.
Cultural nuance
Understand that in Turkey, this is a very common, almost 'default' way to describe someone who is quiet about their pain.
