Are you ever afraid to tell other people about what's bothering you?

Question

Sometimes I just think that no one cares. Or if I try to talk to them about it, they'll just put on a false face just to act like they care, but they're really just doing it because they feel obligated to pay attention.

So I tend to keep the stuff that bothers me all bottled up inside. It stinks cause there's so much I wanna get off my chest but I just don't feel like I have anyone.

You ever feel that way?

Answer 2

...eventually, someday, you'll blow a gasket and get everything off your chest. That will wind up causing major problems, so its not really worth holding everything inside, and it does effect your health.

Answer 3

I don't like to tell my husband what's bothering me because he gets mad, especially if it's about my son - he hates him.  Same with my son - I can't talk to him about my husband (his step-dad).  My husband and I are separated due to an incident with my 17 year old son (who now lives with me).  I actually have NO ONE to talk to about what bothers me.  My mom blames everything on me; my dad is naive and thinks if we would just go to church it would all go away; my best friend moved away.  I feel very alone a lot of the time.  I have a therapist/counselor, but I only get to talk to her once a month or less.

If you feel that way, your should try to meet new people because you might not be talking to the right people. I have felt that way before and have learned to know different people. It is hard to know who will actually listen to you but it is in times of trouble when you really know who your good friends are. You shouldnt keep everything in.

Answer 5

it is like if you reveal yourself, wow you take some chance, even God tells us to be cool, don,t go blabbing everything, (i sure need to talk to someone but, i don,t see any prospects in sight)     so i guess i don,t need to talk to anyone, with me it is not like it is bottled up inside, it is like no one will believe me,  which is how it has been for the past forty years,

Answer 6

To be honest, I am afraid to be blunt and frank to tell the specific individuals whose action is bothering me. I'm afraid that by being honest and direct, it will harm the existing relationship between us. So I put a blind eye most of the time and tell the probs to my buddies.

It's good to have good friends to tell what's bothering yourself. Although sometimes, they might not be receptive (or acceptable) to it... what I actually do is telling the stuff to the selected individual.

I mean there are stuff that a certain friend won't agree with me and I know she'd disapprove of the way I feel/think/act. I wouldn't want her to be criticizing me instead so I'll talk to another friend who'll prob understand me better on the issue.

A true friend will actually listen to you and not because they feel obligated. As long as they are open on the issues, they can discuss on the issue and you'll feel better.

However, there are subjects that are a bit sensitive.. so I'll actually write it down in a book or something. It helps to clear the bottled up feelings. You could also put up an anonymous blog..

I hope this helps!

Answer 8

Your going to be like a bomb, one day you will explode with all your emotions if you don't tell people.

The best thing to do is to tell people anway. When you tell people things, they will tell you things. There are some people, you may feel you can't trust so just avoid them.

Enjoy the time you have on earth. People care about what you feel. Your worst enemy, wants you to feel intimidated. So therefore they care about how you feel.

Answer 9

Im pretty sure everyone felt that way before

but you just can't hold how you feel inside

thats not being true to your self you know ?

Answer 10

Yes but I find a way to let it out. Venting, going somewhere alone and screaming. Working out intensely. Writing. Keeping a journal can be very therapeutic.

Do you have friends? I will talk to them.

If I have a problem with a person then I will find a way to let them know if it's appropriate. I have a problem with a person but so far haven't been able to talk to her directly about it. We just don't have a relationship. But if we ever do then I'll tell her. I want to move past it. Maybe then it won't matter. Who knows.

Answer 11

imo it's not a matter of fear so much as wondering whether or not that person could significantly help you with whatever it is thats bothering you. I'm sure you can tell the people that actually care about what you have to say from those faking it.

and if all else fails, theres always us good ol' not-as-judgemental net folk to listen ne.
