Whenever something good or bad happens with you, you immediately wish to share it with someone close to you. Everyday, many good and bad things keep happening with us and we feel like sharing with others. Who are or who is the most important person with whom do you share your happy or bad moments of the day. Imagine, you have traveled in a charted plane all alone and there is no one to share your unique experience, hopefully, you will fell restless, till such time you share your experience with someone close to you. Would like to know your views on this. Many thanks in advance.

This is a good discussion. I feel, it's important that we confide in others or may be a single person. Confiding shows the level of trust and love we share wt the person/s. Being a very reclusive person, I find it difficult to confide in many people. For me, two or three people are more than enough. I have a very good friend and a sister to whom I can be my real self and confide i every thing. It's like a confession box. Even when I do something wrong and guilty I tell my sister and friend that did it. It makes me feel better, anyday. With them, I know they would blast, reason and be upset but never will leave me for the person I am or for whatever good or bad I do. I used to confide in others also but had been betrayed many times and now I am wiser. Having said this, my mom is always worried about me because she thinks I am very inwardly and unlike my sisters who would blabber every thing and anything I do not confide in her. But she is happy that I at least do to some other person.

Hi Mimpi! Thanks for liking the discussion. Yes, it is important that we should have someone to whom we could confide in, otherwise, we may feel restless, if we do not tell to someone about our joyous or sad moments.It is really great to know that you have such an understanding elder sister and a dear friend, to whom you can confide in everything, without any hesitation. I think she works as a friend, guide and philosopher for you. It is all the more good that she supports you in your thick and thin and I think her support makes you feel confident and happy all the time. You appear very lucky. Your mother's worry about you, it shows how much she loves and cares for you.Many thanks for enriching the post.

Hi deepak, Actually in my case there are different issues that I share with different people. It so happens that one person may be good at supporting you regarding a certain issue, but not regarding some other issue. In my case my sister is my best friend and I share almost all my days and life's happenings with her. i have some good friends who though I am not in constant touch with, provide me with excellent support and advise and that much needed assurance..

My one and only confidant is my husband. Whenever I have something to tell anybody, he’s the only person that comes to my mind.

I tell him of course and the second best option is you guys over here...in fact you people are a safer option coz I can just vent how much I want. I do it at home too, but then we have those mother of all fights!

This depends on the sort of occurrence.I choose to share them with my husband and son though not in the same order at all times.Some things would be shared with my son forst , some with my husband forst--depends on the situation, mood and the issue.

Thats really nice kala,very rarely can one have such a rapport with the family as a whole - I forgot to add that I do share a lot with my 3 children too. They are my life support and give me a lot of confidence and self assurance in times of stress, and I consider myself lucky to have them around me..

I look for my elder sister to confide in. She has always been here for me no matter what the circumstances are so she is the only one I will look to if I have something to say which needs someone's attention and advise. Since my childhood she has always been my confident in everything so she understands me fully now. She has never judge an I think this is the way which made me go to her for every thing I have to say.

Deepak,there are very few people i can confide with and invariably they are one or two friends and not family. And it's not just about some experiences, but the way i feel about certain things. I think it's always important to have somebody who you can confide in. It helps a great deal.

The first person that I want to confide in about everything is my wonderful husband. He is always there for me to listen to whatever I have to say, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. He's always very helpful and supportive, and has come up with some really unique ideas over the past few years that have helped in bad situations, and made good situations even better.

I have to say that the person I will share my best and worst experiences with is my husband. That's not to say I wouldn't share them with my close friends or mum (who is pretty much my best friend too) but generally I would tell hubby first. Like when I travelled to India last time, it was a horrendous flight and the cabin crew were just really nasty and rather scary, as soon as I got off the flight, I called my hubby to tell him. On the other hand when I went to Cyprus recently with my cousin, I called my hubby as soon as we landed to say what a fabulous flight it was and how exciting it was to have landed in Cyprus for the first time! When something good happens at work, I will often send hubby a text message to tell him, say a payrise or bonus is awarded to me, I'm often too excited to wait till I get home to tell him so I'll text him. This works both ways, he will do the same to me too. :)

Hi Mili! It is really great to know that your hubby is always with you to share your joys and sorrows and all kind of happenings. You see as soon as your share your experiences or any new development with your hubby, you feel relieved that you have expressed your feelings (either good or bad) to someone. I think sharing or confiding in is the best relaxation technique and we should have someone close to us, with whom we could share anything and at anytime. Many thanks for sharing your experiences with us and encriching the post.

My personal opinion is that 'not sharing' anything (any joy or sorrow) with anybody does not help in long run. Because when you confide in or share, you get a different prespective of your problem/issue from the other fellow.

Thanks for your nice comment on my response pal. I do feel sorry for those people who are unable to share their sorrows or joys with anyone (such as the member below) but if they're happy to be that way, I guess I shouldn't feel sorry for them :)

When something bad happened to me I don't tell or share it immediately. I let it be with myself, but that is depend if I needed help. I don't want to share my agony even with my family, but sometimes because we are in one house they noticed me when I am silent, they ask question what happened to me and I say nothing. But if it is a problem I think first before sharing it to them, sometimes my problems had nothing to do with as they are from work, from friends so I just keep it to myself but if I need advice I ask them. If it is good, i share it gladly with everyone close to me.

God must have known there would be times We'd need a word of cheer Someone to praise a triumph or brush away a tear He must have known we'd need to share The joy of little things In order to appreciate the happiness life brings I think he knew our troubled hearts Would sometimes throb with pain At trials and misfortunes Or some goals we cannot attain He knew we'd need the comfort Of an understanding heart To give us strength and courage To make a fresh new start He knew we'd need companionship Unselfish.....lasting.....true And so God answered the heart's great need With a cherished friend.....like you

Dpk is this really an innocent discussion..?..In your previous discussion you openly asked your fellow mylottians their secret about falling in love and now you are asking them to whom they confide their secrets or their thoughts....Since you ha ve started these two discussions simultaneously,I demand you explain to me your real intention in starting these two discussions,before I reveal my secrets to you.....These two discussions makes it obvious that you are after the secrets of mylottians and is even bent upon hunting out the people they confide in,inorder to learn their secrets..... Reappy Dpk your behaviour astonishes me...are you planning to write a thesis on secrets of people and their revealations?.......

Hi Deepak, how are you doing? Where were you these days? You have reminded me of one of a situaions in my life, when I use to play video games! That day, I was playing a game in a game parlor which used to be full of people around and cheering every moment of that game. Hence if I am playing football and I hit a goal in a spectacular way, all people would cheer and congratulate me on it. That day, no people were there beside me and I did do a spectagular goal and looked around to see if anyone is beside me to share that experience. Well, no one was there, hence I saved that goal and later asked my friends about opinion! For other things in my life, my brother is the best one for me. He is the with whom I share my experiences ! Thanks

Hi Deepak! Whether it is sad or happy event I would like to share it with my mother.I can share say anything that has happened without the fear of being judged or hated.I can also rely that it would always remain a secret with her and in no way harm me.Also though she is far away she phones everyday to keep me informed about her day and feels restless if she couldnt do so.

hello. well, haha thats actually something I dont think about a lot. like I do it, but I never think about it. I just do. hahah, I tell everything to my best friend :) and my sister. I always have someone with me that I'm able to confide in. and if I were in a place all alone with no one to share it with, I could share it with God and be satisfied :) Id be fine with that. ahah, but I am also one of those people who needs to have people around me. if I have a bit of time alone thats fine, but if I have too much time and no one to hang out with, I go crazy. I find it so boring, haha. its summer now, so school's out and thats not a good thing. I mean I'm traveling a bit with my friends, so it should be fine, Im busy, but for the times when its like a weekend and I have nothing to do ... this isnt good. because I find that a lot of things happen in the run of a day. and I do enjoy having someone just to talk to. Im very talkative as you can tell xD but yeee :) your welcome in advance =D

Just noticed that most of the respondents have a husband, a wife, a fiance or a sister. I have none of those because I am still single (but not looking for someone else ^_^). I think in my case, I have a lot of close friends and I belong to various groups here in my hometown. So sharing what is happening to me actually depends. I only share the things that that close friend of mine could relate to. That way, we could continue on a good conversation. There are some things that some people take in better than the others. For me, especially with bad news, it's not a good idea to share it with someone experiencing a hard time no matter how close friends you are. I would not like to add up on his or her burdens. But travelling in a plane all alone, I might be tempted to talk to a seatmate. ^_^
