Emotionally healthy people have a wide range of feelings, which they embrace with compassion and patience. This usually translates to relating well to other people. This works both ways – when we’re empathic and allow ourselves to enter into another person’s emotional experience, such as sitting with a friend who’s lost a loved one and is grieving, we often become more tolerant of our own feelings.
Emotional perfectionism, on the other hand, is common among people who suffer from anxiety and depression, and does not work in our favor.

We are emotional beings and as such, should expect and understand the wide range of emotions we encounter in life. Ignoring emotions, especially "bad" ones, can breed indifference to positive emotions. Ignoring can also create frustration, therefore, it's critical we maintain a healthy balance and respect for the complete range of emotions in order to reach our full potential.
