"check it at the door" 是什么意思?

问题描述:

"check it at the door" 是什么意思?
有句英语是这样: are my feelings valid? appropriate? should I acknowledge them or deny them, put them at the table or check them at the door? 我不明白"check them at the door"什么意思. 高人请指教.
此处"them"指的是前文提到的"feelings", 所以继续请高人指教。

put them at the table or check them at the door
把想法表达出来还是憋在心里
