I Keep Alot of My Problems to Myself

I Do

But I don't feel like people actually understand when I have a problem and need someone. I always hold it in and then one day I explode and then it's a big surprise to people.

    Ur ur own worst enemy! U can't live in a closet & expect ppl to come & knock down the door! To have a friend u have to be a friend! How can u be a friend if u can't open up to ppl, or share ur feelings, thoughts & fears. There's something ur not telling me! What is the real issue, what's bugging u... U no u can msg me, privately.

    Yeah I feel like I should just save people the trouble and not share when I'm having a difficult time. Unfortunately when I've finally had enough, I come across as a complete psycho. Still working on this issue...

    I used to be this way and like you explode. So I have worked on telling people how I feel even when Im sad or upset or stressed out...it becomes easier over time. But when we keep all that stuff inside it eats us up inside. ITs not healthy.

      I agree, this is my plan from now on, but I actually sometimes don't realize it myself because I am so used to just swallowing things and then it slowly comes up again. I just have problem to talk about my problems and it can come out wrong when I get angry or annoyed.

      yeah I know. I still do this at times but better at. I try to tell people how I feel now before I get too upset. And when I am upset I try to go somewhere and not talk to that person till I cool down because I'm afraid of saying something hurtful that I later regret :/
