When it comes to interacting with people, i am an extrovert but honestly i love being an introvert. i prefer not to talk to people unless n until it is not required for me to do so. This is the reason why i have kept so many feelings within me that i never share with others and not even with my parents. it is not that i do not trust my parents but it is because i do not what others to take pain and pressure or any kind of stress due to me. i always want others to stay happy healthy and safe. i want others to smile due to my presence but when it comes to me sharing my feelings with others, i keep it to myself.
I wish i could share with others, but i think i am happy keeping some of my secrets and feelings within myself and would also continue doing the same in the future. i know sharing your feelings with others makes you feel light but for me i do not want to share my feelings with others.
What r your thoughts about this? Do u like to your feelings with others? Plz do share your thoughts!

Oh i am glad to hear that u have the same personality traits as mine. Even i believe that unless n until we do not feel that a person is not the right one to share with, i do not share anything with that person. As u have said, listening is always better as it is widely said silence is golden. besides i am always there to help u so anytime u can ask your problems and share your issues with me as well.

@arahmae-
Yes dear friend, u have read my mind properly, i fear what will people think of me, my personality and my thought process if express them openly. This is the reason why i have kept things hidden deep inside me and never let them open in front of others. Actually i have almost lost faith on others and hence i prefer keeping things within myself.

Maybe you are afraid about to what people will think of you, that's why you only keep things within yourself...

I am a very quiet person. I used to hide all my feelings. But I realized that keeping things to myself all the time has bad effects as well. It is better to open up to someone you can trust so that somehow, if you feel hurt, the pain can be alleviated. We really do not have to do all the things/suggestions that person will tell us. It is our choice to do so or not. But releasing that pain through telling it to a person who is willing to listen to us will greatly help us, emotionally and psychologically.

Yes u are absolutely right, if all the things are kept within then it would pile up to an extent that we would feel heavily burdened. By sharing our feelings and emotions, we would feel lighter from within but most importantly we need to have that trustworthy person who can value and understand what we r trying to express ourselves through our feelings and emotions.

We need to find a person that we can trust that will hear us out and not to judge us. Some people might present themselves as trustworthy, but I think the best people to go to will always be the family. Our families will never forsake us no matter what happens. They should be able to give us strength in times or weariness. We just need to let go of the pain and surrender everything else to Him and pray to have a peaceful mind and heart and move on.

i am a very introvert person myself and i feel it very difficult to allow somebody to enter my life. That is why my friend circle is very small. But although i am an intovert, i can't say that i always hide my feelings. i feel that it is very important to have atleast one such person in your life with whom you can share your feelings. it need not be ur parents, or a sibling or a spouse or even your girlfriend/ boyfriend. I have a friend with whom i always share my feelings and it always feel nice to see that there is a person who gets happy in your happiness and is there to support you if you are in some kind of problem. So, in my opinion, a person should share his/her feelings with atleast one person whom he can trust.

Well i appreciate your thoughts that we should have at least one person in our lives with whom we can share our feelings and emotions properly so that we would feel light from within. i am glad to hear that u have a very good friend who supports u all the time and that must be helping u to stay strong in all circumstances. Lucky u have such a good friend!

I am more of an introverted person... I could seem sometimes an extrovert, but that's because when I first meet someone I don't want to seem antisocial, so I might be annoyingly talkative :D. But I don't really share my inner thoughts, maybe with my best friends and my psychologist, but even there are things which I keep a secret from them as well. I don't want to give everything of me to other people... I don't feel comfortable doing that.

Yes even i am very much the same like u, i also do not like to present myself as an introvert or a shy person while talking to someone for the first time. some of my close friends get annoyed at times whenever i talk continuously with them but they do not understand the fact that since i have so much share in my life so i speak uninterruptedly with them. i do not want people to know each and every part of me so i do not prefer sharing everything with them.

yes i like sharing my inner feelings but only with my lover not with any other.
If you share anything or your inner feeling with your friends or someone stranger they will never understand you and they will not able to catch your feeling.
But if you share to your lover, he or she will understand you clearly and show you what is correct and what is wrong.
If you are in any problem then he or she will show you a correct way not wrong one.
Thanks

Well i am glad to hear that u have a caring lover with whom u can share all your feelings emotion and as u have rightly pointed out, people other than your lover or sweetheart wont understand your feelings and would sometimes laugh off as something they would not like to poke their head into. we should share our feelings with those only who can value our feelings and emotions.
