text: Talking to a trusted one about their emotions in a situation is good for decision making because the friend can know how this is making them feel. For example, somebody went to their best friend's house and told them about how they got a bad grade on a test. They start to cry and get angry, and their friend comforts them until they are done. Then the friend tells them that they need to ask for a retake, study harder, and do their best next time. If the person that failed their test didn't show their true emotions, or showed that they didn't care, they wouldn't have gotten that type of opinion. Instead, the other friend would've just told them to retake, and probably not say anything too supportive. That's why telling others their emotions is good because they'll just get a lousy opinion instead of something that is truthful. Also, each person is going to have a different opinion/reaction to somebody who is showing their true emotions.
