What really bothers me is people like therapists or councilors will tell you to let it out don't be ashamed ,don't feel guilty .The abusers tell you never speak of it ,keep it inside ,people won't believe you or will blame you or use it to hurt you The abusers are right sadly. The only safe place is a place of silence.

@kodiac I found out in counseling that talking about things didn't make me feel better. All I really needed was practical solutions to real problems. I have had to find those for myself.

@SW-User Yup i got tired of being told how i should feel ,instead of getting answers for how i do feel.

@kodiac If there is one thing that gets me really angry it is people telling me how I 'should' feel.

@SW-User There is no right or wrong way to feel..you feel how you feel
SW-User
@SW-User Exactly. I don't see emotions themselves as good or bad; what matters most is how we deal with them and how we interact with others.

@SW-User yes ,absolutely! Never listen to anyone who tells you how you should feel about anything
