Do positive emotions ever exceed someone’s window of tolerance and get stored in the body for later processing?

i've at least had pretty clear experiences of suppressing happiness and joy and laughter; e.g. i was in public and felt like if i laughed as much as i wanted i'd look crazy
existential kink suggests a *lot* of pleasure is suppressed because it feels unacceptable also

less sure about "exceeded window of tolerance" although i had one experience where i did a weird thing and briefly experienced a really strong surge of (sexual?) desire and it was very overwhelming and then i shut it down
