Is it normal to not want to talk about abuse?

I hear a lot of people talk about how they get abused and I don't see why... I on the occasion get abused but I feel like it's a personal subject. I'm just wondering if it's normal not to want to talk about it.

    It's normal both to "want to" and "want to not" talk about abuse (quotations added because that sentence was hard to read lol.) It does feel good to confide - the proverbial weight off your shoulders - but sometimes we're more comfortable keeping it to ourselves.

    It's very normal. It's human nature to not want to talk about very unpleasant things. To be honest, even though there are some things that you might not feel comfortable talking about it's actually in your best interest to discuss it with at least one person (Somebody(s) you trust of course).

    If other people are aware that you're going through something difficult they can help you in some ways where you can't help yourself. It's important to have a support channel, someone(s) you can freely talk to about your problems. Not only will you feel better but you'll also get a better feeling of security knowing that there is someone(s) there to help you physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.

    Don't let allow yourself to be abused. That burden that you have does not have to be yours alone to bear. Share it with people who care about you. That's what they're there for.

    Some people don't want to alert any public about it and others do. It's a matter of preference for the individual.

    It is extremely normal to not want to talk about it, the majority if people that really are abused don't talk about it. The downside is that it is unhealthy to keep it in, and it allows the abuse to continue... I wish there was something I could do to help you but sadly, I'm an Internet stranger w no power so my advice would be to talk to somebody close to you that you trust and seriously consider their advice.

    I understand you totally, absolutely normal. Don't Forget to be kind and understanding to people that
    do have the need to discuss. At some point you may want to confide in someone. Sometimes sharing your own experience can help someone in a similar situation. Good luck to you.

    Yes sounds normal, I don't have the need to tell people that sort of thing. But sometimes its good to confide into people about it, made me feel better about it or helped me get over it

    Some people feel good after confiding.
