@QuietLightning

I hope there will be more "let go" than "shut down" in future!

@airme

It's painful to realize that some people just do not want or find it very hard to embrace everyone as they are! I'm glad 7cups is a place without judgment and everyone is welcome.

For me it depends on the situation. I sometimes push harder to make the hurt go away faster. But most of the time, I be to myself and let the silence get the better out of me, which i know is wrong.

@eyeofthetigerrr

Suppressing emotions (being silent) does not make them go away but rather stay in the background. Was there ever something that helped to let go of them like journaling?
