I am hurt but don't want to talk about it anymore. Neither do I want my family or friends to know about it, so I pretend I'm okay, but deep down inside I'm not really fine. Do you ever hide your real feelings? Why do you?

i'm sorry that your hurting. I would love for you to share your feelings with me if you can't share them with anyone else you trust. and i do feel like i can't share my feelings some times as well. but mostly i don't share them because i'm afraid of peoples reaction i'm afraid they don't want to be my friend anymore. or i'm afraid that they won't like me for who i am. and other times i just keep what i feel to myself because theres alot of fights there and basically you just have to keep your mouth close if you don't want to get in one. and thats why i hide my feelings 60 percent of the time.

Yes, I hide my feelings from everyone but my husband. I can't hide anything from him. Trust me, I have tried. But, that's ok. He is the one that helps me work through it most of the time. I don't tell everyone everything b/c I learned a long time ago that even if they don't do it right away, a lot of people like to bring it back up later. It has never made any sense to me.

i am not that good in hiding what i felt my friend. but sometimes i really have to do it, i mean hide it! but i rather like to talk about it with my very close/best friends and my fiance. but i do seldom share what i felt but my actions always shows it all. thats why i become more easy with what i may feel. coz it always shows. jhelai

Yes I hide my feelings. Mostly because I get tired of "advise" from others. In the end I do what it is that I fell is best anyway. But sometimes use this site to get some of the stuff off my chest because no one knows me and I can let go of some of the pressure.

Oh you're so right with being tired of hearing advises. I do that too really when I'm feeling one more advice would kill me hahaha..

yes. I hide my feelings most of the time. Because i'm the only one who knows my problems. It can be a love problem, friendship, family or financial. Not all things are known by my family or friends. That's why i have to keep it and control my emotions.

Do you think it's right to hide your feelings?

There are times that I hide my feelings depending on the current situation though most of the time, I don't hide my feelings. If I am troubled with my feelings, I talk to one of my friends and seek comfort with it. Its not really healthy to hide your feelings especially if you are angry. That can lead to a serious health problem in the future, thats why more men suffer from heart attacks because they always hide their feelings. Doctors have said that so better express yourself.

I used to be real withdrawn and quiet and kept everything inside. I got over it and started speaking out and it's the best thing in the world for me. I'm alot happier not hiding things. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND TRUST IN GOD**[/b]

im not a kind of person who will hide my rel feelings. if i feel ngry i will show it.. if i feel bad about a certain thing or person i will say it. if i like the person i will also tell them but in a nice way coz i dont want them to take advantage of what i feel. showing what you feel inside will give you peace of mind.
