It does not matter if you share with 1 or with more than 1. The whole point is if you let the energy out and not gather it inside you will be healthier.

Everyone who keeps gathering negative energy inside over years will 100% get sick.

Additionally you don't even have to share it with a person, you can share it with a punching bag or whatever. There are lots of people who go to the gym and train their butts off and get all their negative energy out on the machines, etc.

Just don't gather it inside. Let it out one way or another.

I agree, bottling up is not wise. One day the bottle will be full and when it spills, there's no predicting what happens. Let out every drop when it arrives and keep that bottle empty.

Where it leads to can be different for everyone. I didn't share lots of emotions for many years as a result of several different problems. It only brought me deeper depression and made it harder to get out of that when I eventually did. When I got help it took me a long time to really open up and start working on those bottled up emotions.

If you are already used to bottling them up, just start small. Find someone you can trust and who will keep an open mind to anything you tell them, a professional if necessary. Start small and keep trying to go bigger until you feel comfortable sharing all of your emotions.

Don't expect to feel comfortable sharing everything with everyone. I don't tell the florist about my anger, I don't share my desires with the baker. Different people around you may be suitable for different types of sharing, that is fine. Profit from what is at hand.
