Why is it difficult for me to...

Communicate about what I feel? I mean, I have no problem saying or expressing it to people that I care about. However, when I'm upset or angry, I tend to shut down and keep it all to myself. Honestly I don't even have the drive to start explaining things.

That's probably one of the worst things to do. Honestly it's annoying. My husband is that way when he does that I just want to punch him in the face because it's like looking at a grown adult sit and sulk and pout like a baby. People who do that are usually weak and fear confrontation. If people have issues deal with them because eventually someone you care about is going to walk away while you sit and act like a two year old. Just my honest opinion

Umm thing is, I dont sulk or pout. I can function well lol... it is automatic. I do confront people if I think it is necessary. Other times I would just ignore because it is not worth it. A friend of mine once said "why are you fighting with shit? Whether you win or not, you'd still have shit all over you."

@PaintedVeil: you would have to view things from the other side. Holding in anger and keeping it to yourself is a form of pouting. And when you hold in feelings what does it accomplish? All your doing is waiting for an unresolved issue to rise again at another time. It's best to face things then hide. PS I am just telling you this because I was that person and it got me in more trouble then I could ever imagine. I gained the nickname the destroyer

@DidIHurtYourFeelings: Yeah I know it is not good. Thanks for the reminder. Im trying.. and I'm sorry you had to experience that.

@PaintedVeil: it's not a bad thing. I just now feel bad for the people I have hurt both emotionally and physically. And seeing my own husband do that reminds me of a very ugly past. Just remember when it comes to feelings you have to learn to be honest with yourself and the people who love you

It's not about being a baby. Some people just can't talk when they are too upset. I'm not a baby. But your husband might be.
