fifteen/female, well here is my problem -
i show no emotion, what so ever it's like i can't cry when i'm upset mad ect, and i just want to cry sometimes- but i can't -i hold it in, because when i do cry i think to myself [WOW ARE YOU REALLY CRYING OVER THIS? WOW SUCK IT UP AND STOP BEING SUCH A BABY ABOUT IT BLAHBLAHBLAHHHHH!] its like that ALL the time i cry or start to anyway, and i don't like it, i don't like holding it in; it's making me become someone i don't want to be and it's driving me insane!!! i just don't wanna be that person anymore i dont wanna hold everything in side; and like i can't talk to my friends about it because i feel as though thay don't want to hear it and i'm talking to much, so really i don't know what i should do; it' has been this way for a long time a very long time and it makes me SUPER mean because i hold everything in i have no emotion really!
in all honesty what would you do? any advice would do me good work so please <33333333333

Go into your room/bathroom/any hwere you can be alone, when you are sad. Lock the door and cry. Crying is something everyone does, just no one talks about it. Next time you feel mad/sad don't be afraid to cry. The only way you will let out all that anger is by crying. Go ahead punch a pillow. It's okay! Now, when you are done crying, you will feel better and most of your anger will be let out.
Don't that you are a baby if you cry! Go ahead and do it! THis way you won't have to hold in your anger as much and it will make you less angry all the time. :) [ TheAnnie's advice column | Ask TheAnnie A Question ]

I was exactly like this a while back, holding everything in, thinking it would make me stronger, but you know what? It did the opposite for me and it wasn't a nice feeling, not being able to express anything. I became this anti-social person who had no life and no friends and that was hard for me because it wasn't who I really was.
So I began to go to the school counsellor and I found that it really helped because this guy just listened and understood as to where I was coming from and understood what I was really feeling deep down and that was the turning point in my life because now I can talk with others normally and socialize with other people properly. By the way, in this case, it was anger that I was holding in and when it comes out in torrents, it's not pretty at all!!!
So that is what I advise you to do. Go to your school councellor and just talk things over with him/her. Let it all out of your system. All things which you talk to your counsellor about is confidential. Expressing emotions, even over little things, is perfectly fine. When ever you feel like crying, ignore what you think, just let it come naturally, don't try to surpress it (or any other emotions really).
