Not often. The last time I was open, I was later told I was pretending. People believe their own conclusions over what you're actually feeling... so what's the point in trying.

I'm finding it's better to express feelings in a creative way rather than to another human being (which is difficult to accept since connection is important to me). But even then, sadly, people will criticize another's creative expression if it doesn't suit them.

When you are by yourself, that is all you think about.

Open to others, becomes a totally different story. You can't alienate the few, that are some what near, if not close.

Yet I find most are not even open with themselves. And that is even sadder.

You can't be open to others, if you are not open with yourself.

Know yourself, becomes key in everyone.

This applies to far more than just feelings. Your own body must be inclusive as well as its limitations.

Personal feelings about life, love, etc. - pretty much never anymore with anyone in person. I don't have anyone I trust to open up to and find it's far safer/easier to be open in a place like this where nobody else has to care about how someone else thinks and feels.

I haven't had a SO in my life with any meaningful connection now for over 8 years. I don't do friends because I'm introverted and neuro-atypical.

Thoughts/feelings about other things like civic issues, health matters, politicals, governance, globalism, business, etc. - I openly share those as I am not at all frightened to express my views on issues I have strong feelings about.

With my bf always. And it hasnt always been easy. We have had a few issues and have spent hours arguing, but we always get it talked out.

It is a tough one I have been burnt, when did open up, even with the trusted person. I now guard it as much as possible. Only will only share when its deep.

Not often. Spent a lifetime (career) trying not to make anything personal. Did things and saw things that most folks should never have to deal with so learned to just keep it all inside. I am a master of compartmentalization.

When a person I trust asks me to share them I do. I only share them with those select few though.

Trust me its not always worth it pick and choose what you share and who you share it with.

Mostly kept pretty under wraps but sometimes it’s too much and can’t even stop myself. Music tends to yank it out of me.

9-5, six days a week. Otherwise leave a message and I’ll get back to you.

Can't be that way any more. On here some actually suggested that I should be put on medication 🙄

I usually keep my own council, safer.
I do write out my feelings through prose and poetry.

I’m not, I have no one that I’m comfortable enough to talk them out with

Lots of times I’m an anxiety ridden person

Always. Well almost, sometimes some things wouldn't do any good to say and I have the good sense to know as much.

Always

In RL very rare, I keep a lot to myself.

Two coffees and two energy drinks...I talk about it all.

Not often

Not often, but whenever I do, it always makes me feel worse.

I feel that nobody really cares about you as much as you do.
Some people cannot really understand what it is like for me.

I look at people in worse conditions and choose to suck it up.

Rarely

Rarely

Always be with those that bring out the best in you! 😉

Often enough to regret it.

Feelings don't come easy to me... feelings get you hit.

Trying to learn to be less and less

I'm a gaping wound

So and so, I think you gotta play it as you go, resorting to what you have in place to avoid all kinds of manipulators.

most of the time.. but not always

Very often

I need to figure them out myself first.

Seldomly.

You'd have to break thru the walls first lol

Depends on the feelings.

To my self? Always. To others, rarely.
