Why is it so hard?

why is it so hard to say how you feel? I keep ALL my feelings/thoughts inside and it's killing me. I know all i gotta do is admit to some of my emotions but it's like my heart wants to speak but my lips wont move. i need suggestions, websites, comments, ANYTHING. I'm desparate. please don't recommend counselers..or anything professional of the sort. Thanks!!

Answer:
Write it. Better yet write a song. I thought I had it made, work hard and with a family till I suggested it to my wife. And she did write many songs about how screwed up she is and had so many problems in life. She left me. In the least I am not bitter because she was finally able to open up her thoughts and is a better person for it. As a side note, a professional councilor won't solve your problems, it's something you have to do.
im the same way, just deal i guess
What makes you think anyone cares about your feelings? My advice is, spare everyone else the drama, and keep your mouth closed.

If anyone wants to know about your feelings, they'll ask you.
write in a journal or talk out loud to yourself just to say it aloud makes me feel better
Maybe you need to just sit down with the person and say it. DONT worry about their reactions.

Sometimes it helps people to bring a friend for "support"
i have the same issue. So now i type it all out on the computer( i never send it anywhere) but if i wanted to i could let someone see it. it is easier to write than to talk.
i am the same way but when the time comes to say them when u have to it will just come out it did that for me once it was wierd but good at the same time
I write al f my troubles down in a journal, or i write poems and songs about them. it helps me get through alot of tough times.
if you really can't say your feelings or emotions to other people, try writing it in a diary or journal or a blog.. it worked for me
Chances are you're not speaking out because you don't trust the other person's reaction. Find someone you can trust who will listen to you, without judging you.

Well, try to write it out on paper. My friend isn't a very talkative person and she writes all her ideas in a journal. Sometimes she lets her friends read it but only friends she is comfortable with. Or go to livejournal.com and type out your feelings and other people will be able to read it without knowing who you are.
You maybe suffering from depression. I know you don't want to hear this but you need to talk to someone in Behavior Health. You may need to take an anti depressant. That pill, will allow you to open up more, and be more outgoing.
Some people just don't like share their private feelings with others. They don't to seem weak and unable to handle own problems. The advantage to speaking out is that you will find a lot of people who have the same problem(s).
I am the exact opposite. I dunno, it is a mixed blessing. Just try not to thoink so much and really put your feelings into perspective. What are we talkin about here, being pissed off about not doing the dishes or something more serious?If it is the former that take my advice, if it is the latter than totally ignore me.
When it comes to emoting I start giggling and telling jokes. It has always driven girls and my mom crazy.
You can let it out though by keeping a diary. You can take a creative writing class and start writing short stories or poetry. It doesnt have to be good, just something to keep track of your thoughts.
if u need to talk to someone email me
The fear of failure to others is the greatest scurge in society today. Its a lack of self confidence, of which many people experience due to an artificial perception of always "winning" or being "great".

I am 35 and can tell you - failing is the greatest lesson in life. Dont be ashamed or timid to express any thoughts, feelings or ideas that aren't "winners".

Its also called integrity...
i'm like that too!

but just think about how better you'll feel once u let it out..and don't worry about other people judging you, at least that's why i don't like to say how i feel.. maybe writing them down instead of saying it out loud is better

hope you feel better! and good luck
The situation is key here. General thoughts and feelings are more easily expressed with a close friend however, when it comes to somebody we "like" for example, its going to be a lot harder taking into consideration the rejection aspect. Nobody wants to get hurt etc. I guess its all about you at this point. I don't think your not keeping in all these thoughts because you cant say them out loud, I think you don't say them because your afraid of whats to happen next. Keep in mind that by not saying anything you've kept yourself at a comfortable midpoint. You can stay there or bite the bullet:)
