Why can't I say what is bothering me?

Question

I can think it, and write it down. but when it comes to telling someone straight foreward mouth to mouth. I freeze up. I feel like all the wind was knocked out of me. My stomach goes in knots. The first thing I do is lie "I'm fine, just tired". it usta work, but then a good friend caught on that I wasn't fine. When I talk about it, I DO feel better though. but then when I start to talk, like I said all the wind gets knocked out of me, and I can't say what I need to. When I try, I can't look the person in the eye. My head is down looking at the ground. And I fidget. I really do hate it. so.. why do I have these problems??? Why can't I say what is bothering me?? When I think I need to? (or am I wrong?)

Answer 1

sounds like anxiety. your doctor can help

Answer 2

writing it down may just be best for you....you are probably suffering from a little anxiety about opening up to someone because you are afraid of being judged....keep writing it down...there is nothing wrong with that....instead of lying to people by saying you are just tired then just tell them the truth and say you have a lot on your mind and don't wish to discuss it right now

Answer 3

Nope there is nothing wrong with you....it's human nature. You just have to breathe in, and remind yourself that this maybe the only chance you'll have to say anything. There are many times I wish I could turn back time, just to say something I didn't. Don't stress out about it....Just Breathe:)
