True? Or no?
"Always conceal your feelings. Shut your mouth. Don't let anyone know how you're hurting."

"Always" is a big word. Don't think there's many places it's applicable around emotions or behavior.
But overall...yeah. I tend to agree with that. Dumping stuff on others, when life is a solo, isn't my personal lane. Sharing good feelings is different.

if you learn to hide your feelings, then you have to learn to imitate it. otherwise you won't be able to communicate with people. they need it.

@fakable "They" might need it, I don't. "They" can get it elsewhere.
@ShaneMckay
if you don't cry, no one will know you're in pain. you can learn to deal with pain, but sometimes you may need outside help and then have to fake a reaction to the pain.

Not necessarily. According to one's individuality there is i believe a certain way to go about things.

You can only do that for so long. Somethings gona give sooner or later.

@WanderlustCat Like what, may I ask?
WanderlustCat · 36-40, M
@ShaneMckay i went a little unhinged for a while. Was reckless. Drank too much. Scared the heck out of a few people. Honestly if something’s bothering you find someone to talk to about it.
ShaneMckay · 41-45, M
@WanderlustCat Like who? I will only bring them down too. I am NOT suicidal or anything, just facing reality.
No. I learned this does not work. If you don’t advocate for yourself, then you will never get peace.

@ShaneMckay umm, ok…I was just unsure. Hope things turn around for you! If that’s how you’re feeling, I suggest you find a trusted person to talk to, it’s not good to harbour those feelings.
ShaneMckay · 41-45, M
@WanderingThrough I am NOT suicidal, but what harm can come from harbouring these feelings? I go to work, but otherwise shun society, politics, visitors, etc . I lived this way for 25 years, until I met my wife. Now, she's temporarily gone for at least a few months, (medical), and I am comfortably slipping back to my old ways.

@ShaneMckay I never said you were suicidal, you’re the one who just brought that up. I don’t even understand why you asked the question if you’re going to jump down the throats of everyone who comments. You asked a question, the answer is false. It’s not good to conceal those feelings. It’s not going to not let people know when you’re hurting. If there’s anyone around you who loves you and cares about you (and I’m sure there are) they would want to know. They would want to walk alongside you in your struggles. Even if it doesn’t change anything, just having people there for you is so valuable.

Judging by your replies to the comments, you’ve already made up your mind.

Not true. Need to learn to express yourself and emotions
