Is it helpful or not to talk about your thoughts to other people?

Some people kept in silence despite wanting to say things. As for me, it is better to let it out the inner thoughts than tolerating the suppression of oneself. Of course, sharing our thoughts should be limited and hold back if things not necessary to share especially on the social network. Some information is not supposed to be there. We should always be serious to protect oneself. What do you think?

I agree with you Shavkat..I think one should tread carefully about one sharing on social media.
At least that is the case for me.
But it is good to talk to another person face to face for problems if possible.

@TiarasOceanView I agree. If things are not possible to talk with somebody, a phone call away is also fine. Of course, it can be shared that these people can be trusted.

It depends whose shoulder you want to lean on.

It depends. I a lot of times speak about some people, but I don't use specific names. Some times venting to strangers is helpful. You can then talk to the person you may be venting about after venting here on myLot. A lot of times it's nice to have an outsider to give you advice.

We should not feel hesitant to share our pent up emotions so as to lighten ourselves.

I donĀ“t write anything personal at all only if I am on the Chat to someone I really know otherwise I keep to myself.
On here I might say the odd thing or two but no one knows my real life.
I think that this is the way it should be too.

All of us need privacy and only our very best Friends can know what could be going on in our real lives.

You should of course not share personal information or too much of it online or in person with some people. If things are bothering you or you have a problem with someone then you should talk about it with someone or the person that is causing the problem. Communication is the key to all healthy relationships even if what you have to say may hurt someone else's feelings (I don't mean hateful/discriminative types of things. If you don't agree with someone's lifestyle or want to bash them for their choices then just stay quiet.) But if they do something to hurt you, put you in a tough place, constantly use you, you're in a relationship and they say hurtful things to you or doing something that hurts you emotionally, a work thing, etc. then you should speak up and say something. It is not okay to let people walk over you or use you or belittle you, or make you feel less than a person. No matter how bad we want to we can't read minds so if you need something, want something, or something is bothering you then tell that person.

If you trust in the person and think that he/she/they can help you, yes... Otherwise, it's preferable to keep the feelings to yourself.

Speaking out our feelings is a healthy habit according to me because suppressing your feelings for a prolonged time will lead to stress and pave way to a pool of diseases!

Sometimes it is better you should talk whatever in your mind to your near and dear ones... but it is always advisable do not open your mind to the strangers who does not care about your feelings...

I agree with you. Speaking up needs the right time and place and right people to listen or to be with while speaking to Others. Or else better not talk if the situation might get worst. I always believe there is a time for everything. God bless.

It feels good to share what's really bothering you but there are things that you like to share to few people only you trust

@averygirl71 It is better to talk with someone. In some instances, I share the dilemma and know the thoughts of others here.

I still keep things to myself long time and later I share it with someone who is close to me. I don't know why I try to keep it hidden from others who can help me get throught it ![](/Content/images/emotes/jealous.gif)

I think its good to let out things and it surely does make us feel better. I was also a person who kept things to myself, but now I do share. The only thing to keep in mind is to find someone trustworthy enough to share things.
