I struggle with sharing my inner thoughts with others. I need to get in the habit of sharing....

I believe you stop yourself because I believe it is your body's way of being naturally cautious or it should be. You know deep down that's very risky. I have to go with Justmeraeagain on this subject. Read my reply to her. If you disagree, that's okay, but as you get older or are older, you'll see that doesn't work so good. This day and age is a lot different than former years. You can open yourself up to a lot of things you might wish you hadn't.

Honestly, I don't feel the need to do that with everyone.
Some people will take what you tell them and be cruel with it.
Opening up is for close relationships with a lot of trust that has been built up over time.
I don't share my secrets with random people here.
I sometimes write about my experiences and how they affect me.
I don't feel people have an automatic right to know all about me.

Yes. Most struggle in sharing. Reason why many share their inner body since it's easier to strip the outer.

Online is great place to share inner feelings basically due to the anonymity and long distance But one requires patience to find the right person to share with and who has the patience to assist and not judge early.

I think that's why sometimes people will open up to a complete stranger on a plane or train.. because your exposure lasts only as long as the journey, then you'll never see them again. I'm not the one who talks, but sometimes I have listened.

I was fucked up for years after ny ex cheated on me. It's wild how much it can harm you. I hope you find comfort and heal soon. Also, try to remember or internalize that regardless of how you may have contributed to the situation, their decision was their decision and isn't a reflection of you as a person or a partner.

Sometimes it's good to let those thoughts out. Keeping them to yourself can be consuming.

If you can’t do it here, you can’t do it. Not everyone you meet will listen, but some will. Let your hair down.

It's usually easier to share with strangers
