I do not hide my feelings, it drives me insane. I always confide to my boyfriend (as he is also my bestfriend.) I rarely open up with my mother. As much as i want to but I find myself having a hard time approaching her to talk regarding personal matters.
How about you? who serves as your emotional breather or confidante? Or do you suppress your feelings?

people who are significant to me serves as my emotional breather...like my friends and my family, they are my everything...it really depends on the issue who am I going to open it up with...I sometimes open up to my mother especially when it comes to issues involving the whole family...keeping my feelings also drives me insane, suppressing it will surely drive me nuts...having an emotional breather around really keeps me calm and think rationally, especially in critical situations...

These days, I spill those mixed emotions to my boyfriend. Situations that led me to feel annoyed, somewhat disappointed, most of the times happy, probably even from the mundane,inane,trivial to ones that really psyched me out, exciting, and something completely out of the ordinary.
Though he's really not the first person I had in mind to be share those things with, not wanting to be emotionally dependent on him, or anyone else for that matter, he's proven himself to be quite the reliable and trustworthy person that one could be. Managing to alleviate me and bring back a smile to my face when I'm feeling that the sh*t has really hit the fan.

My husband is my best friend too. I go to him with everything and anything. We have been together for 30 years, and it has always been this way with us. Blessings, M&M

I cannot hold my feelings inside. My wonderful husband is the person who listens to my problems and helps me to sort through the facts! If it is something that concerns him, and I am not comfortable talking to him about it, I deal with it alone, as there is no one else to whom I am comfortable talking to about issues that concern the two of us. Fortunately, my husband is mature, level-headed and diplomatic!

My gf has been my emotional breather these past few months. I used to keep everything to myself but it became really tiring. Anyway, I am very thankful that my gf is very understanding and patient whenever I need a breather.
