iLuVkOaLaS answered Wednesday July 21 2004, 11:06 am: Well i think you need to be open and tell your feelings, no one should think diffrent about you unless its like a fight or sumthing!! And if you care so much what ppl think you cant get in life far. You should tell your feelings(u dont have to tell things that r personal)
thank you,

FernGully answered Wednesday July 21 2004, 2:25 am: Despite the fact that you may think no one else should care about how your feeling, a lot of people do care about how you're feeling. I don't tell people anything, well, theres certain people I tell exactly how I feel and others that I dont bother telling. This prevents me from getting close to people because if people know what upsets you and what makes you happy etc, then they know you on a different level then someone who doesn't know these things. Try and look at it this way, people do care about how you're feeling. Especially your parents. Not telling your parents how you're feeling can result in them mistrusting you.
Find someone you can open up to and feel comfortable talking to if you can't be open with multiple people. You need to have some outlet of emotion. People do care about how you are feeling. There isn't really a quick fix for this problem, which I know all too well. Its something you have to constantly work on. But when emotions are going through your head and someone you care about is there, just go ahead and tell them. You'll feel better about it after.

EsseNeminem answered Wednesday July 21 2004, 1:55 am: There are many different ways that people can handle their feelings, some less healthy than others, of course. Your way of handling your feelings can be considered unhealthy because no one can help you handle things you need help with if you never let anyone but yourself know that they exist. I think the best solution is to look at what is important to say, and what doesn't really matter. It's fine to keep things to yourself, but its not at all in your best interest to keep All things to yourself. Try thinking 'If a loved one were feeling this, would I feel the need to help them?' Or, who knows, you could just think to yourself 'Do I want or need help with this?'
If it seems logical to you not to tell someone something, after looking at its effect on you, then it will most probably be fine to keep it to yourself, just try not to force yourself into silence. No friend or loved one will prefer that you keep your feelings to yourself if you want to share them. [ EsseNeminem's advice column | Ask EsseNeminem A Question ]
