open up
Untitled 19 months ago

i’ve always had this issue.. my family and friends have tried to get me speaking, but i find it hard.. coz it always seems like no one could understand, and i feel it’s useless.. and sometimes i just feel like i’d better keep it to myself,.. but at times i break down coz im tired of being strong and fighting on my own..

Trust...

...is what gets us to open up, if someone betrays your confidence or judges you because of what you tell them, you maintain a distance time after that. I go as far as not confide in anyone close to that person, it makes it very hard when that person is very close like part of the family, and also greater the risk of being haunted for your words years and years after.

To me when someone talks bad about everyone who ever confided in them, and tells me what they have told them in confidence it makes me not want to tell them anything.

And I guess that where therapists and counselors come in, we pay them to keep everything in confidence, and perhaps they have suggestions better than anyone else because they have helped people before with issues related to whatever is that you are going trough.

As you see you don’t have to keep it in until you break, but you can’t trust everyone either, I hope you do find someone close with a good friendly ear.

Trust someone if they don’t bad mouth people, or are the family and friends gazette,

Good luck!!!

true

well, i believe in the saying “trust no one”, i cant really trust people until i realize i spent a quite intimate time with them without being afraid or annoyed.. i have wonderful friends but i still dont express myself.. and i thought of going to a therapist as well, but i hate talking to grown ups, especially ones who wanna analyze me.. i dont need help, i just need to learn how to EXPRESS

thanx a lot 4 the comment! =)

You ought to trust someone...

...at least yourself, and hopefully someone else or you’ll feel very lonely.

yes i know, and loneliness isn’t really a great company.

Hang in there

Someday soon, you will probably find a kindred spirit. It will be easy enough to open up to him or her. There’s always someone out there. It just takes patience and observance to realize who it is.

VeeShay is figuring it out

You already have the key

The key to opening up is to trust yourself, not others. When you trust that your ideas are important and that what you have to say is relevant then the next step is to not worry about what others might think about it. We all hear people say stupid things every day. But they say it and they believe in what they are saying. I used to be so shy and quiet; it was crazy and I did not know if I could ever overcome it. I finally decided to allow my voice to overcome the fear of whether people would laugh or frown on what I had to say. Now I just speak up, knowing and being very confident that what I have to say is relevant and that I am relevant. It doesn’t matter if anyone else buys into what I’ve said. I believe it and I believe in me. That has to be enough or you will spiral downward when you don’t get affirmation from others.

You don’t need to tell your secrets but you do need to talk.

exactly.
u should be proud of yourself coz that’s a huge step. i’m not afraid to speak my mind. it’s just that i hate arguing with people, and most of the time they get it all wrong.

ha ha :D
when i saw the toilet goal i couldnt scroll down anymore and i thought that must be done ASAP! :D
glad to know you’re actually working on your goals ;)

as for mine, i’m pretty good, i’m not saying that i’m a walky talky now but my sister and friends are doing a great job helping me through.

like i said before, it aint that big issue anymore, yet still i hide my reaction and my emotions. but mainly i’m speaking my mind and i’m not feeling so lonely like before.. so, thank God for this.

thanx for taking the time to read the comments and the responds.. sweet of you :)
