I like to share both my happiness and sadness with others. I do not like to hide my feelings. What about you? When I am sad, I will talk to someone, like my friends, my husband, my daughter and sometimes strangers on the cyber world. To whom is the first one I would like to talk, it depends on the issue. If some thing that is not suitable to tell anyone at that very moment, and I feel sad, I will write it down and tear the piece of paper. I feel better at once. When I was young, I even threw the broken pieces of paper to different rubbish bins on streets. It was a sign to split the bad things to small ones and would not let them have a chance for being connected. Would you mind sharing yours with me? I would very much like to hear that. Have a nice weekend.

Hi agonyaunt69. I would always go to my Bestfriend whenever I have big problems. I admire his ability to listen. Sometimes he gives advice but there are times that he just listens. He knows when is the best time to share his thoughts. He does not oblige himself to comment or give advice on everything and yet he listens seriously and attentively. I feel so relieved after sharing my problems with him even though he did say a thing. I guess what's more important is that he accompanied me during those hard moments, showed me his concerns and gave me a shoulder to cry on when I needed it the most.

I have never been sad long enough to be able to share it. I guess I am lessmaterialistic and less emotional so its easy to not be sad for long. Whenever there is a circumstance that makes me sad I prefer to think over the issue and look at what is the element that causes the sadness and then a logical step to overcome that element is all it takes to not be sad. And I dont mean to smile in front of other to show that the issue didnt make you sad. You can fool others but fooling yourself is not possible. When I sad I am no more sad it means I make sure I know how to overcome the sadness. So I guess when I am sad I talk to myself and no one else.

Lucky you, poona_m! Your life must be quite smooth. Of course, you are a tough guy who can handle your matters well or I should say in a disciplined way. Thank to your parents who give you such a good character. You must be a good listener. Your friends will love to be with you as you are calm and happy. Thank you for your comment. Have a great week! agonyaunt69 (11:00pm Sunday 22 Nov 2009 Hong Kong time)

When I'm sad I typically wanna call my boyfriend first. I think just being able to talk to him about stuff - and sometimes just text, makes life so much bearable. And this day and age, it's been tough. Like this past week, 2 of my co-workers got laid off. One of them is a good friend of mine. And I didn't know it was gonna affect me like this. On the other hand, of course when I'm happy - he's the first one that I call!
