Opening up...

    I've got a question, and I'll try to keep my blabbing to a minimum...

    Throughout my life, I've never opened up to people and told my feelings...at all. Especially at the most important moments.
    Now I've found that, no matter how hard I try it's like I can't. As soon as I start talking to someone, the words stop coming and I actually freeze up a little. I'm physically not able to do it...

    Has anyone else experienced this? I mean, I know you can choose not to. I used to choose not to alot, but now it seems when I choose to try, I'm not quite able to...

    Do you mean like feeling for someone(you fancy) or feeling like depression or hurt.

    If the former I can totally relate. I can talk to strangers with all the confidence in the world. If its someone special I just clam right up.

    If your talking about depression and the like its quite normal to hide everything. As the stigma attached is quite horrible.

    Well to answer both of your questions...It's any feelings at all.

    I won't tell people about my past because I'm afraid of judgement. I hate sympathy. I don't want anyone looking at me another way. So this one I choose not to tell...
    But when it comes to my Feelings about my past, or feelings in the present, or feelings about my heart or thoughts...Or Anything!
    Nothing comes out...

    I know how you feel. I hate talking about my feelings. This may sound wierd to some people but I'm a very secretive person, and I don't like to reveal a lot about myself. I guess I don't like people knowing about me, because later on when I change or something they'll still be thinking about me the same way as they were a while back, when in reality I have changed and am not the same person. Confusing? haha I dunno, I can't really explain it.
    But it's strange, because I don't even tell my best friends things. I have one or two friends whom I can tell certain things to, and the rest I'd just rather keep it to myself. It's partly because I like to have secrets, and I don't like it when one friend goes out and tells the other. I guess it's a trust issue, too.

    lol If this is a phase, it's a heck of a long one.
    When I was younger I didn't talk. Not only not opening up, but I honestly didn't say a word...I think that was for different reason...
    I don't know. But I really hope that this 'phase' can be dealt with sooner or later.
