Do you always share your problems/pain???

March 13, 2010 7:07am CST
Hell0 my Mylot friends! I know we all have some tough moments in our life- quarrel with friends, broken relationship, problems with the family. But do you share all this things with some one close to you friend, family member, beloved one or you just keep it in you, and suffering in silence???

Sometimes i will share, but not always. It is my problems so most of them i just keep to myself. And try to figure it out myself. TATA.

hi saphrina! yes, I also act as you the most of the time, because I am not that type of person who shares everything with the others, because I just think,they will not understand me. but sometimes, when I feel that i just can stand it anymore, I share it with my friends or with my family!

I share my problems/pain with friends and family. I don't generally suffer in silence.

hell0! good for you, that you feel free to share with the family and friends, because the most of the time, i just keep it inside- i think that they will not understand me and will reject me, which will make me suffer more!

No, not all the time. It depends on the kind of problem i have. I tend to keep tough problems inside especially if i don't have a solution at hand and it is so painful to talk about. If i share a problem, it usually is just a part of the problem not the detailed version.

hello! yep, to me it also depends on that how tough the problem is and what kind of problem it is exactly. I also prefer to keep it for me and I share my problems and pains only when I feel a big need to share it with someone!

Don't cry out loud as the song says, perhaps there is a type of person who does not want to share his/her problem phoenix to anybody---family members or close friends. Specially if that type of pain may result to their suffering also. One of our friends here told me that the best person we can run and ask help in times of our seemingly unbearable problems and pains are our Mothers. Our Mothers have tender heart---compassionate. They would understand us and invite us on their arms and let us feel the heat and love on their hearts. Many times in my life I regretted for being hesitant to approach my mother! I would rather go always to my friends, but I didn't mean it's bad---but I must run to my Mom first! She has the right to know my sorrow because she love me unconditionally! But now I am away from my mother, so I think I would always run here. I don't want to suffer in silence, it could just made the pain prolong inside me and may even destroy me completely! I am a person who loves advice and helps....

hi! well, i am exactly that type of person, who prefers to keep everything deep inside, because I really don't like to share this things. well, i don't know if the mothers are the best listeners, because I have never shared my problems/pain with her, maybe because I thought she can't help me or would not understand me. yes, sharing problems here is really a good decision and even I think that I could do that

I share my problems,frustrations, anger(from outside environment) small or big with my husband. He listens and give me comfort and encouragement and i like that. But when i get into a problem which i know he will disapprove of, i keep it to myself and solve it alone. :-)
16 Mar 10
hell0! well, it is really nice that there is someone in your life who can always listen to you and your problems, unfortunately i don't have a partner and maybe that's why i feel shy to share my problems with someone else!

Well, i'm more like a suffer in silence type. When i'm happy with something, i can't wait to share it; but when it comes to pain, i prefer to have it to myself and don't want others to worry about me as gloom is said to be infectious. Sounds like i'm a selfless person, right? Haha~

hell0! yes, me too! i also prefer to stay in silence and don't share it with anybody. well, the happiness is something different, something on the other side of the edge, and we all like to share it with the others. but the pain and the problems are something else- something that makes us feel bad and think that we are not that good as the others are. but sometimes we must just let it out to feel better!

hi hatley! well, you are lucky to have a friend who can listen to you all the time. well, i guess my best friends will also listen to me, but I am not sure they will understand me, that's why I am afraid to share my problems with them. but sometimes I do it, when the pain is too much! do you think that you are so close with Nelda, because you have so many common things between you?

not everything can be shared to a friend. even in marriage life, not every thing can be shared to your spouse. there are certain things, secrets that it is better to keep in yourself and not tell her. but what i have now, that i can share most of my problems is, myLot. where i can talk about anything and i know there is at least one, that listens.

hell0! yes, I agree with you- not everything can be shared with someone, even if this someone is your partner in life, because some things are either hard to share and to solve or they are just to personal and people feel ashamed to share them with someone, no matter how bad they suffer from it! yep, we can really share many of our problems here, and every time we get at least one good answer, one good resolve of our problem

Sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends. Sometimes I do tell easily especially if the person I am telling my problems/pain, I do have my trusts already with her/him that he/she will keep whatever I have told him/her. Sometimes, there were things also that you just prefer it to keep it yourself. Sometimes, it's just also nice to tell it all to make the burden you have inside lighter.

hi! yes, sometimes I also share my problems with people I trust to, but the most of the time I just keep it inside! but sometimes it is really necessary to share the problems/pains with someone!

Sometimes i share when i really need advices but most of the times i rather keep it to myself since sometimes telling makes it more more the situation worst when their are conflicting ideas. Most of the times I am better of being alone and resolve all those conflict by myself since i am a quiet problem solver, very silent, yet quick and determined.

hell0! yes, I am in the same situation- i also share it when I feel it is really important or just too much to keep it just for me. but the most of the time I don't tell it to anybody. i rarely try to solve the problems that have hurt me, I just reject and forget them and never come back !

I usually dont share problem with other people and my reason were, I am not sure whether I will get a respond that I am expecting from that person or maybe i am just ashamed to share it. I know sharing one's problem is a way of releasing the pain inside and lessen it if possible. But if by chance there will be an opportunity that I can share problem that will be my wife. Especially when if its about family and financial problem. Suggestion to other people,(just a suggestion and hope it may help you) Better share your problems but make sure that you are sharing it to the one you trust most.God bless

Hi! yes, i also don't share my problems the most of the time, just because I feel the same way- i am scared that they will not understand me or maybe even will laugh to me, and that's why I prefer to keep it inside. I know that it may be wrong but I am just that kind of person, i think that I will never change. but sometimes as I've told to the others we must share the biggest problems and pains with someone, just to feel better, because we can really go insane :)

I usually do talk about my problems..sometimes I can get people on the phone, othertimes, they don't answer. I feel pretty isolated, as I have a very small family. I also have no shildren and have never been married. So, I worry about when I get older what will happen to me. will i be all alone?
14 Mar 10
Hi! well, i have never tried to talk about my problems through the phone, maybe because I thought it is not for the phone, but I also don't like to talk a lot about that, just because I prefer to keep it for myself and don't share it it with anybody! don't worry! I am sure that you will meet the right person soon and you will have someone to share with!

Not usually i not like cry and share my problems, only if I need some explaining, but i try as I can pass on the burden that a port of others, which certainly have their problems , and most know something, people can get listen, but they like judge people ,like gossip, and comment on your situation, usually behind you,i do not trust people, maybe in a few, but i never say everything.I usually suffer in silence .

hell0 icesmile! yep, i also don't like to share it, but not because I try to solve them by my self, i just don't think that someone can help me. and you are also right about that, that people can laugh on you or try to judge you, like they are something more, something better than you and always try to hurt you more than you are!

True to say..I just shared most both happy and sad moments to friends and family members(only to my age members).I enjoyed that a lot.Some will make fun , some share my thoughts , share my sorrows.All going well.My best friend will always keep telling to me that don't share everything please keep something personal.But I didn't listen to him...I told what wrong in sharing with friends.He told somethings can't explain and that what i can say,its your wish to tell or not.But I never minded that..After a certain incident everything changed.I can't explain that incident.And then I recognized what my friend said is right.You don't know how I got hurt because of my own mistake.I'm not blaming anyone.It is my own mistake that I shared everything.And then I stopped telling anything whether it is happy or sad.I stopped.I kept inside me.Many are there to share.But its hard to find the true ones.I said to my friend that I understand my mistake now.Its been a long time since I shared everything.Can I share to you, said to my friend.He told no need.Don't even tell to me.Wait and there will be a time coming for you.And that time I will ask everything.I really liked that.He cares me.Thanks to God for giving me as a good friend.There are lot of friends in my life who cares.If God gifted me then that would be my caring friends and my parents...All the pains are inside me...It is hurting a lot.I don't know when the day will come as my friend said for me to recover.Hope it comes soon...

hell0! well, it is really nice that you feel free to share all your problems and pains with the people you love and trust to, and there is really nothing wrong. maybe your friend just thinks like me, that sometimes people can't help us. but I am really glad to know that you have your own opinion about that and don't keep anything sad in you, and let it all go out

hi there! yep, sometimes friends and family too are the reason for the pain in our hearts and when that happens we feel really bad and need to share with someone. well, i also don't like to share and keep it all just for me, but sometimes when the pain gets too much I just feel the need to share it with someone I trust to!
