How much of yourself do you reveal?

Do you always tell everything to your friends? Because even to my closest friend I don't. Even with my husband I find it hard to lay everything down. Not that I have secrets to hide but I just can't seem to put everything to words. Even if wanted to, I most of the time don't understand my own feelings. There are times when I want so much to express how I feel but I just don't know how to begin and what exactly to say.

I don't think that its such a bad thing not to reveal your whole self to everyone. I tend to only reveal portions of myself depending on the kind of people that I am with at the time. I think its pretty important to keep somethings to yourself, as a lot about yourself is private, and other people can sometimes be not so accepting if they had to see the whole you all at once.

I don't tell everything to anyone. They cannot be trusted with the information. I have no close friends any more because they all did me wrong. I am married and I do tell my husband alot of things but I would never tell everything to him. some things are just better left unsaid. I am sure he has things he keeps tucked away from me also. I really don't have anything to hide either but I think it is good to not reveal some things as it may cause a problem in the relationship. I usually know what to say and how to word things and I eventually find the right time to tell him things. I have never had a problem with actually expressing my feeling. I just have a hard time with taking the chance of hurting someones feeling and such.

I think that to be honest with our husbands, we have to be honest with ourselves. I know there are parts of who I am that I don't like very much and I'm not willing to share that with anyone. Most of the time I don't dwell in these things, but every once in a while a thought will pop into my head and I'll try to push it back again. Things like that will never be shared with a living soul.
