Do you find it easier to express yourself, or keep it in?

A lot of the time, i tend to bottle things up. So you could say, that my friends dont really know me that well. They can never tell if im sad, or really pissed, or just really down. I can barely relate to anything they say, and they single me out most of the time. They're great to be with though. But, i feel incomplete when im with them. Sometimes they do see something, and they ask if im ok. but, same answer "im just tired" and theyd buy it each time. So, i guess i keep it in more. But, once i cant take it, i usually walk off somewhere. Do you guys think i should keep it like that? Or could you relate in any way?

Hi there,i think i am same like you,i tend to keep things only to myself infront of my friends and they will not see that i am thinking of something.But at home,i will express myself to my family and tell them my troubles or anything.I don't know if you should keep it like that as i am in the same boat like you,maybe i can also get some opinion here.

hey thanx 4 the response. Unlike you though, i dont really communicate with my family that often. As soon as i get home, i march straight to my room and lock myself in. So, you could say i barely even see my family. But do your friends ever really say anything to hurt you and think that its okay because they dont know whats on your mind? Because to them, im supposed to be the happy bubbly optimist. Thats what i show. Do you think you could keep that way for really long though?
