i have a hard time expressing my feelings to. i have to feel confident with a person to do it. so most of the time i keep it in. till i have so much that when i find some one that i feel understands. that i feel liek 10 pounds lighter. writing it down is a little easer. but still hard. i have been like this since i was a kid. when i can not express my self i get real frusterated. i do not get mad. i usually can not express my self to my family. even though i know they will understand. it is just that i am not that confident of a person.so it is real hard. when i can not express my self i just get more shy. do not hardly talk. just keep to my self. hope you understand.

this is a problem for me. in public and even at home i show 1 emotion and its this ;D . when i was bullied it was this ;D when my best freind hated me it was this ;D when i was made fun of it was this ;D
basically i smile alot either because i am happy, im nervous, im trying to hide my emotions.
in high school a teacher said that anyone that smiles all the time is immature. I was offened but i guess emotional maturity is part of mental maturity.

Obviously, that teacher is either very unsympathetic and does not have an understanding of what shy people go through. Chem

I also have this problem. I have difficulty expressing my feelings to people. I tend to suppress them because I'm afraid of what people will think. Unless i really trust and like the person, then I will open up to them but even then, I still feel like I'm holding back. One bad experience I had with this was with one of my housemates. He's a cool guy and all but he uses me and I allow him to. I know, i shouldn't though. I don't tell him I hate it when he walks over me. Well one night as we, all my housemates and I, were drinking, I got a little too drunk and blasted and yelled at him. Things just poured out of me, I said things i regret now. He was surprised that I was so angry. All the pent up frustration and anger that I've been bottling up inside me for months finally surfaced. I know it's unhealthy to hold everything inside but I can't seem to break the habit.

I got burnt on several occasions from letting my true feelings be known and I don't think I have ever recovered. You hear about how honest and open you should be with people but a lot of the time other people just don't want to her what you have to say and there's just too many reasons for this to analyse and think about too much. Fuck it be as honest with people as much as you can and damn the consequences, secrets hurt too much- now all I have to do is heed my own advice!!!!! I hate when people are conserned about me and genuinely ask me if something is up and all I can answer is no I'm fine when really I want to scream- but I think I'm getting better at that. Does anybody find it easier to open up to strangers, or notice how people who are strangers to you will open up about their most personal thoughts and feeling, whether you want them to or not- Humans we are too bloody strange!!!!

Yeah and then theres always that moment of regret afterwards when you realize that you should have just let it out. Then you sit there once the chance has passed and say to yourself "Next time I'll say something" but just know you wont. Wow my first post here! At least I got that out

At least I got that out I've had those moments of regret after not speaking my mind, but I've also had them after speaking my mind. Can't win.

I find it easier to open up to strangers because they seem to be less (if at all) judgmental of me than people I know. Also, I don't really like opening up to people I know because I'm affraid that they'll tell other people I know and I don't really want a whole lot of people knowing my feelings.
