Hello everyone!

So...open up to someone...

* Do you open up easily?

* Did it ever happen to you to open up and regret it later?

* Have you ever felt like you would open up but the fear to be hurt refrained you in doing?

* Are you able to get over your fears and just open up when you feel like the person is worthy?

Hi @Mellietronx!!

So seems like when you feel to open up you do not regret it, like if you ponder it well but when you do it then it is a sure decision. Yup !

Enjoy your friday !

Hello all smiley

1. I don't really open up easily. I think if I did, I would be in therapy by now. This really holds me back from seeking any help for myself.

2. Yes, I have definietly regretted opening up to someone, as I'm sure many people have. I just don't really get the right support from my family, so I can't share my feelings with them. This makes things really hard because I have such few friends.

3. Haha, I can think of countless times. I am usually ignored or hurt too easily, so I don't tell my feelings those who are close to me. I also care very much what people think of me, and I don't like to feel judged.

4. I don't know. I have one friend who I think is worthy enough to hear my emotions, and I spill a lot to her. However, I can't help but feel like I'm bothering her (it's all in my head) and the more I tell her the more of a freak I feel like.

Hello @heartly ! laugh

Sorry to hear that you do not have the support from those close to you like family members.

Opening up is not easy indeed, it's positive that you have this friend that makes you feel enough at ease for doing.

Hope you will find the balance between your fear to bother her and the postive feedback you have in opening up.

Take care !

I definitely oopen up too easily and I need to stop that. I think it's me asking for help and people will be symapthethic and help me, but instead, in reality, they smell weakness and just entertain themselves with my mess. So, yes, I regret that. I need to focus on not doing that anymore.

Hello @demonicbunny !!

Seems like it has not been a positive experience. sorry for that.

Good thing to do what you feel to do, how we perceive interactions is what makes the difference, at the end.

Wish you in any case to find someone that would make you feel like you can open up and feel good for doing, if that is what you wish too.

Take care !

1. Yes and no. I used to be very open, possibly too much so, but I've been hurt a lot and now I'm afraid to take risks like that.

2. Yes. Almost every single time.

3. All the time.

4. Yes, but it takes a long time.
