Is it normal that i always want to share my negative feelings?

It is ok if u feel this way now and then but if it's everyday then you sounds like your depressed get professional help. Its not s bad thing Alot of people seek help because they feel the same way you do

I know how you feel. Unfortunately. I would listen.

You're not alone I too wish I could tell the people I care about how I really feel but I just smile politely and say I'm fine whenever I'm asked I think I'd be too embarrassed to tell the truth and I would hate to see my family worry about me

I think we should start an online group where we can tell everyone how we feel, most of us, well me, I can't speak for the rest of us, I find that it is a way on this website for people to really listen to me and give me advice, I am not really sure if I care about what is normal or not sometimes, it is the advice that I seek from others after they listen to what I have to say and that makes me feel good. It is almost like it is easier to tell a stranger what is going on than my friends because a) I don't have to worry about them telling me what I want to hear like aahh it will be okay, yada yada let me tell you about my day now b) they might think of me as a buzz kill and not want to hang out with a mopey person c) or they might not take me seriously and think I am going crazy when I just need a little help and when I feel better, they wont let me get over it. You can tell me anything I will listen to you, really listen, you don't have to worry, it is okay if you don't want to tell me, but believe me, there are people who will totally listen to you,, feel better?

It's a short, scary, wonderful ride that will be over before you know it. Try to find the wherewithal to open your eyes, relax, and enjoy the scenery before you reach the station.

Can you not go talk to a counsellor. They listen without judging and my belief is a problem shared is a problem halved. I'm a very good listener but I do tend to keep most of my problems to myself which makes me feel worse but when I try and talk to the person that is the cause of my problems and feelings they don't want to listen and appear not to care how I feel and yet their the only one who can put it right so for me talking to a counsellor won't make the person I want to get through to see it or change it and therefore does not benefit me in anyway. Keep your chin up.

Oh my yes. Me too. I've got so many years of rants of family to get off my mind but I have been told that I'm a grown person and deal with it. I haven't said a word to this particular person about feelings in......35 years. Now she is dead. Just last month. Now I can't really tell this person what I really feel about anything. If I were to put my rants on here everyone would be bored. Family and friends don't want to hear any of it. So, it sits and festers.

Find a therapist to talk to. I'm going to. Even if I have to pay someone to listen me.

You're not alone.

So write it on a piece of paper and burn it.

I know how you feel. As much as I like to preach, "Tell them how you feel. Let people know. Let them know how you feel", I noticed how hard it can be for myself sometimes to just, "let people know". A lot of days I feel extremely under the weather mentally and emotionally, but I won't say a word. A part of me always has that thought that people could always have it far more worse. I know that though. I know that people could have it worse. But that doesn't mean that what I'm feeling doesn't matter any less then anyone else's. And as close as I am with my family, I really don't tell them anything. A lot of times I don't say anything because I think of the same sorta stuff that you do. They don't wanna hear it. People simply don't want to be there to listen to you wimper about something that you've been secretly feeling for months, or even years! So holding it inside sometimes feels like my only option.

I think I have a lot of conflicting thoughts and feelings within me. You'd be surprised how many people think they know me, but they really don't know me at all. And then you have the people who you know don't really care/want to know you.

I don't really have any friends. I have people who I'm kinda close with, most of them coworkers. A lot of acquaintances from high school, and college. But I've noticed that sometimes I struggle getting "close" to people in the sense that I struggle telling them whats really going inside my mind, or what I'm really feeling. I feel like in order to get close to someone, and to be able to call them a friend, you would have to let them know that side of you. You would really have to spill to them whats going on. I don't know if this came out sounding right. It's hard for me to explain it, but I get what your saying, and I think its normal. But I think it's enough to get us all sick. I've even thought of speaking with someone like a therapist about things. We need an outlet. We need to tell people how we feel, because if we don't we'll eventually break down, or end up really hurting inside, living everyday in pain.

I think everyone is like this. I never thought about it until about how much I hold back on. My main thing is being diabetic but no one understands so what's the point of opening my mouth? We all have something...or multiple things. Too bad society doesn't like to hear whiners. ha.

The point of this website is to see if other people think/feel similarly with you. I never said I was unique. Don't make hare-brained assumptions.

I know what you mean--you don't want to be a burden or make anyone worry for you or feel sorry for you but there's nothing you can do about it. Life just isn't fair for us and I'm not sure what we can do about it.

Yes I do what u do!! My friends don't want to hear my problems so I tell them little too ugh but I feel how u do ugh

Dont think your special and your the only one to ever feel the way you feel becaus emillions others most likely have. I bet you dont even have an excuse to feel that way and just do it so others go "aww poor you".
