Do you usually tell people when they hurt your feelings?

[i]Before I don't say it to whoever hurt me I just kept silent.But now I've learned my lesson well and if somebody hurts me I approach the person and lets him/her know that I got hurt of what he/she has done to me.
I already learned how to be vocal and straightforward.If I felt I was treated badly and got hurt I'll tell it straight to you and surely it will be and unending discussions between us.
Nobody has the right to hurt us.So why would you let others hurt you.[/i]

Well, it depends also on what they've done and who they are. If he/she is a close friend of mine, in most cases, they are sensitive enough to know that they've hurt me and they'll acknowledge what they've said or done and it's ok with me. I'd tell them though if they didn't notice. As with strangers, I get more confrontational though. They don't know me enough and I defend myself most of the time.
Then, if it's just a minor thing, I'd just let it slip. But if it's something very serious and it affects me personally and it creates damage (could be physical or emotional), I'd bluntly say what they've done and I'll act accordingly.

Yiz! It's me pinks. I try to avoid conflicts as much as I can. But if I need to defend myself or defend someone I care about, I'd step in immediately. For that one, I do have patience and the line's pretty long. It takes a lot to tick me off but they say I'm dangerous and scary when I do. I don't get mad easily as well.
It's true though. Far too many people just approach me and ask for my lighter. I swear, in just 5 weeks, my lighter fluid is almost nil. I bought it full. Take care Pinks!

[i]But you know what...for me you look like a straightforward type of person.It doesn't show that you have patience..don't get me wrong ha.And that's what I like for a person.Honest and straightforward.
But you also look so approachable that people could actually come up to you and would say "dude,can I borrow you lighter?"(pare pahiram naman ng lighter?)hehehe.kidding aside.I seldom see the name zeroflashx2 here in mylot.Are you sure that it's you ron?[/i]

I am a very silent person and I tend to keep my feelings to myself. It's not that I am hiding it but I'm just like that. If I am lonely, happy or mad people will just notice it and so I don't really have to tell them. My family says my eyes talk and somehow they can see what I am feeling inside. I am a moody person too so if ever I had a confrontation with someone and I got mad or was hurt my mood changes so quickly so they will surely notice it.
Ciao!

Well, its actually ok for me if I don't get to discuss what I feel to a certain person even if they have hurt me. Like what I've said it's not that I'm hiding my feeling but I'm not the type of person who lets myself be bothered by those kinds of happening in my life. Usually I just go with the flow of my life and if given a chance to discuss it with the person then I will tell him/her eventually what I feel. But I don't force myself to do it.

It's not healthy darling.If you feel angry,sad,hurt or whatever you have to let it out.Never keep it...you'll get a heart attack for that I'm telling you.I am a moody person too but if I was hurt by a friend or someone I tell it right away however which way I deliver it...i'll tell that person.

Hi friend,I never used to but now I do.I too had learnt my lesson.keeping things to oneself and letting oneself hurt is not a good thing.Of course,it also depends on situation at times,whether to go and tell that person that he/she is hurting you.But,in most situations now I prefer to tell.
Sometimes it may happen that a person might be doing certain things that will surely hurt you, but unknowingly,in this case,I prefer to keep quiet but if he/she repeats the same mistake then yes,I do go and tell them but politely,and not to offend anybody.However,there are also some people in this world,who are more than happy to hurt anybody who is around them.I prefer to stay away from such people and if they do hurt me,I make sure I let them know straight in their face.Good day dear!

I wait when my feelings get hurt. I then decide if it really hurt my feelings or if I was just being overemotional. I do this because I used to overreact and then well feel bad about it. If I indeed get my feelings hurt I will speak up and let it known.

I never tell anyone when I am hurt, i just dont feel like telling them, I usually realize that i dont have to say or to do this thing because this will hurt the next person why dont other people think before speaking? I have this problem of not speaking much infront of others, and i think i am the biggest loser if i continue doing this.

Yes,if someone hurts me then I will say so,why bottle it up and then just sit thinking on it,it does you no good to do that,but if you calmly turn and tell the person that thet have deeply hurt you then they will back off,and if they are soo insensitive in the first place,that they have wounded you with their words then maybe its time to re examine the friendship.

I am also hoping that I've learned to express my anger just like you.
if I am mad or angry to someone, I wouldn't talk to him/her. I wanted the person to let know what I feel without saying it to him/her. I know that it isn't right.. but I hate confrontations. I can sometimes give a verbal bashing to someone, and that's what I am avoiding. so it's better for me to keep it, than to hurt someone.

Yes. I try to confront the person that he/she has hurt my feelings so he/she would not do it again. But there are instances that I just keep quiet especially when I'm hurt big time. In those cases, I would need time for myself to think things over but eventually I would get around to telling the person. My relationship with the person is also a factor. If it's a close friend then I would definitely let her know.

Some time i express my opinion when someone hurt me. But it is possible in a fewer case. Most of the time it is not possible for me to tell people. I also agree with u, when someone hurt me most of the time i dont express my feeling. Ya nobody has the right to hurt us though people hurt us.
