All feelings cannot be shared with all. Some are to be shared with friends or parents depending on the nature of the feeling.. Some are to be kept close to the heart.[b][/b]

Depending on the situation that is at hand i usually talk to my mother. When the situation at hand makes me feel that my mom will be judgemental or be a mom imstead of my bestfriend i come here amd start a.discussion on it to see other perspectives, since i do like to see things from other perspective. Other than that i goto my bestfriend.

Hiya AR, Most times I share my problems between me and the brick wall best sorted out by myself most of the time. However I get everyone else come to me with their problems not that I am any expert they seem to think I can solve all of their personal issues. However if you get your own Sons ask you for advice most times they will pretend they have not heard a word you have said but you know they have listened to half of what you have said (grin). If I have a big problem I will always find a funny side to it and that helps a lot. Good to see that you share your problems with your Mom no better person and advisor than your Mom.xxx

When I was a teenager, I always shared my feelings with my best friends, especially when I felt depressed. At that time I didn't regarded my parents as the proper people for I thought that they didn't really understand my mind. But since I began to work, I have gradually found that parents are the ideal partners. They are much trustworthier than others and always consider everything for my sake. I could learn a lot from their abundant experience so that some potential lessons could be avoided.

Hi Arya, It is so disappointing that you are the sole child to your parents. But don't feel bad that mother has all qualities which you can see in your brother and sister. I got 2 brothers one elder and one younger and two younger sisters also. We all are in good terms. As all are grown up, got married and living separately with their own small family. Similarly, I also got a small family like wife and 2 children aged 12 and 14, one boy and younger as 12 years. I used to share most of the things with my children and wife and even I got my mother also. We all are so free to speak anything so openly and have a nice relationship with each other. Although all are like this, if we want to stress out our own individual feelings, I don't have an intimate friend to share it, that is the only worry I have. There were few good friends earlier, but all are scattered here and there and a close connection is impossible. So, I am the good friend to me and I used to share my feelings with myself only!!! Thank-s

Oh poor you. But doesn't mean having bro and sis can help either. I have bro and sis but none of them want to share my feelings. Disappointed right but that's the truth in my life. Before this I share my feelings with my momma but since she passed away there's no more place for me to share my feelings, my dad just like my bro and sis and since he already had new women in his life the only way for me to share my feelings with is only God through prayer.

I share my feelings with my wife as she knows me the best, but before I got married, it was my sister and mother that I used to share so much. Now as I am away from my parents and siblings, I do share my feelings with my wife. When I go back to my hometown to visit my parents, I still share with them.

like you i share most of my feelings with my mother. i refrain from sharing my feelings with friends and my sisters because i don't trust them at all. they most likely use this information against me in times of trouble and i would be left all alone to suffer the consequence. so to keep my self from getting into trouble i prefer to share my feeling; good or bad; with my mother or keep it to my self for self preservation.

I usually share my feelings with my boyfriend. He is my best friend and we are open about every thing. Next is to my mom who is also my best friend. And there are about 2 or 3 close friends that I consider the best.

I have some close friends who i share my feelings with. But best of all, I share all of my feelings with my sister. She is my elder sister and understands me better like no other. She gives me advices, pushes me to do things when I hesitate and always has my back. I would be so lost without her. She is my rock and I love her to bits

When I was a younger, I usually found my friends as my shock absorber or my comforter, but right after college and we now live separate lives, I become closer with my family especially my Grandmother. My Grandma is like my girl friend, she's a good listener and of course, a great adviser. I can tell her my innermost thoughts about love and life and found comfort in every little thing she does. I love her with all my heart.

I tell things to my mom but there are certain things that I also share with one of my very close friends. We talk about things that both my mom and I can relate to and there are those things I talk to my friend about where we both relate them to each other.

i share my all feelings with my mother. But some feelings I share with my friends or my girlfriend. It depends on the type of feelings and on this factor that with whome we feel comfert to share our feelings.

I tend to be outward when it comes to how I feel about things. I love to talk and love to be happy. There are days though, when I feel like there is no one to talk to. I talk to my little brother every now and then but feel most likely he just doesn't understand how I am feeling at that moment. I write a lot just to get it out of my system. I do know that bottled up feelings can make things worse, so even talking to my dog, who does not have any opinion and loves me unconditionally, makes things feel a bit better.

Most of the time, I share them with my girlfriend. Sometimes my friends. They are the ones that I feel comfortable sharing my feelings. I don't share my feelings with my parents.
