My Feelings are Mine

Have you ever told someone how you felt about something and then got the automatic judgement call. I will just say that, there are feelings I keep to myself. I am opinionated, and in a world where people don't have as much as he or she may want. I know this. I want to have my own thoughts, and feel the way I want about what ever. My mind is mine. I can be judgemental too, but sometimes you have to save this. There are too many people in this world trying to be like someone else. I am me, and it is about time that I be. Judgement calls will be made, but they are not always made by the right people. Look out, you do not want to be judged by people that can take your freedom. Life is a battle not to be put in that position.

This has happened to me before and there have been times when it has bothered me but I always try to let it slide off of my back. If we let things get to us so easily we will constantly be upset about something. I agree with you, my feelings are mine and mine alone, I do not try to persuade you to feel the way I do nor will I allow you to persuade me. I think that the way our government is going here that they are leaning more and more toward taking our rights away. Sad situation.

Yes, I have rather dealt with situations like this a few times right here and there. In the end, we just got to be what we want to be and do whatever we really need to do right out there. Being judged by people for your actions, your thoughts, your words, and everything else, is just going to be something that rather comes with a territory. In the end, I only feel the need to justify what I am doing is myself and myself rather alone. If people want to judge, then they are going to judge, that is just their opinion and really they are just going to waste precious time in their lives doing so. Just got to be honest with yourself, true to yourself, and if others don't like it, that is really not my problem, is it?

Thank you for your response megamatt. You have one life. It should be lived with the freedom to think and believe with integrity for yourself. Feel free to open your mind, but be strong enough to have the closing thought.

I think we're all guilty of this 'giving unsolicited advice' thing. I guess it's normal for a person to just give it out to someone who starts the conversation. I myself am guilty of it too, often times, when a person starts to tell me something, I feel that I am obligated to share my thoughts to the person. Why? Well, why would a person tell you something if he/she doesn't need your advice in the first place? Often, being tough on the person is not a great way to start or keep the friendship, but there are times when we also feel that the person need to know the truth instead of sugar-coating things to please him/her. Which is why, whenever I don't really want anyone to give me advice about something, I just keep it to myself. That way, there would be lesser arguments and lesser hurt-feelings when an advice isn't taken or when a reaction is negative. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

Thanks for your comment Laydee. Sometimes the best thing to do is JUST listen to people. I do not always know when to give my opinion, if I say it, and someone takes it, and creates a gossip situation I am seeing a mess ahead. But, I always want to help, not hurt. I also know I can be honest around my true friends.

adforme yes my feelings belong to me, your feeling belong to you, and eeven if I do tell you what my feelings are on a certain subject I do not expect you to tell me I am wrong to feel that way. We each have o ur own minds and brains and we often see some things differently. so remember we may haved defferent feelings on the same sub ject. let us then agree to disagree but not try to take way from you or me our own feelings. they belong to us only.If I chose to change my mind on something an feel about it like y ou dol its vecaujse I realize my feelings were wrong, and change made common sense.I do not want to be like someone else, I want t o be me, the perosn I hatley am, nobody else.I do not judge others and I do not want to be judged wither as usually I am misjudged.

I understand completely. Sometimes feelings we have aren't politically correct, but we have the freedom to feel that way.

I find worst when I tell about my feelings and thoughts and people don't understand at all. For me misunderstanding is worst than judgement, so I close my heart and mind.

I get what you mean angelheart80. Being misunderstood is not cool. It further diminishes the truth you try to convey. It diminishes enough when it is taken out of context. Sometimes I believe feelings are to be shared with a pet only.

I guess the fear of your diary being found was an issue. Your mind is a powerful thing. It can be a better diary than you ever knew.

You got the point: it may seem hilarious but a person often cannot understand what we feel. When I was young (lol) i used to write a diary, and i could be totally honest. Sometimes I ask myself why I stopped.

different people will have different opinions my friend.Another fact is we cannot please everybody.We should not bother about others judgement as they have a different way of perceiving and conceiving things and their thought process is never gonna overlap with ours.We have our own way of articulating the things in accordance with our wisdom and experience.Think freely and live with your own terms and conditions else you will loose your identity.

I find it hard to understand what exactly you mean. It sounds to me as if you don't live in a place where you have freedom of speaking/discussion/own opinion since you talk about: taking your freedom away. It did cost me a lot to be me, to fight for me and the worst thing that happened to me was that I was not allowed to be who I am. So I left and build a new life. I payed very high prices for that and it will not be easy for me to "shut up" now. It's not that I will never keep my mouth shut or keep my thoughts/opinion for me but if someone is asking I am not going to tell lies just to stay safe. It's not the person I am.

You know exactly what I mean WakeUpKitty, you said it yourself. I keep up the fight to be me, and express myself honestly.
