Is it permissible to conceal sorrows and problems, and what is the ruling on one who does so and is affected by their past, and do they receive a reward for forgiving those who wronged them?
There is no objection to concealing sorrows and calamities with the intention of being patient and seeking reward, unless such concealment leads to psychological harm. In that case, it is preferable to confide in friends to relieve distress.
As for forgiving those who wrong you, there is a great reward for it, especially concerning brothers and close relatives, as stated in the Hadith: "Connect with those who cut you off, give to those who deprive you, and forgive those who wrong you."
It is advised to adapt and integrate with brothers, cooperate with them, and frequently supplicate for the removal of worry and sorrow.
